Indian
Indices: Asian indices opened weak as profit booking seems on the cards after
the heady run of the past few weeks. US Dollar weakness saw strength in most
Asian currencies, which boosted sentiments with positive inflows into
equities. There could be some more consolidation as US political rhetoric
takes centre stage, which could see some more profit booking on rallies.
Nifty crossed 9500 led by Auto, Banks and FMCG as foreign flows and
left out feeling witness huge buying chase stocks. With most sideline sitters
also jumping in the fray expect another final bout of irrational exuberance
as Nifty moves into extremely overbought zone. For today expect Tata Steel to
lead from the front after posting excellent results last evening, while
mid-cap housing and financials could be under pressure from profit booking.

SBI (Buy
Above 308 with Stop Loss at 301 for Target of 320): After consolidating for
the past six weeks, the stock has finally broken out from a symmetrical
triangle pattern on the daily charts. The price outburst has been
accompanied with credible rise in volumes too. In addition, other momentum
oscillators also indicate than the upswing is likely to extend, which further
accentuates our bullish stance on the stock.
