Singh is King

Indian Govt has won the majority vote by a narrow margin. Market was expecting this and has already priced in this news in last 4 sessions. Market is up more than 10% in last 4 days.

Now political uncertainty is out of the way, issues like interest rate, inflation will weigh on the equity prices.

MM numbers are improving which is good sign. Next fews days would be crutial to see if market can hold on to gains. Banking sector is the one to watch.

BSE - Political uncertainty?

22 July is very critical for ruling government, country, stock market and economy. If the government looses the confidence vote, many projects will be shelved which is bad news for the economy and the market. However if they win, things will gain pace and it could be completely different story....

LSE - Start of New Rally?

...may be. Too early to say that. The ratio's are turning postive. Financials and house builder stocks have rallied on back of postive earnings news and falling oil prices. Currently market is so volatile that it takes one bad day for oil for these stocks to loose all gains. Some of the housing stocks have doubled in less than one week. They may under go a minor pullback at that stage before they continue the next leg.

Bullseye!

As expected, there was a reflex bounce on BSE. But looking at the market monitor, there is not much conviction behind the rally. So chance of rally failure are highly likely unless we see follow through days in next 3 to 5 days. It is too early to say that market has bottomed out.
