Bulls gain as traders rush to cover their short positions
Brokers said covering of short positions was the main trigger for Fridays rally. This is evident from the provisional data on institutional activity, which shows both foreign and local funds as net sellers. Foreign funds net sold shares worth Rs 400 crore while net domestic fund activity was negligible, as has been the trend over the past week.
Most brokers expect key indices to trade in a narrow band, unless there is a sudden acceleration in foreign fund inflows or the situation on the global markets front improves significantly. Technical analysts see 16000 as a key resistance for the Sensex and 4750 as a major hurdle for the Nifty.
News from world markets was mixed. In the US, the pace of job losses slowed down to 216,000 in August, raising hopes that the recession is ending. However, the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 9.7%, underscoring threats to consumer spending gains in the recovery.
In Asia, China shares rose for a fourth day after the government said it may take years to implement stricter capital requirements for banks. Post-market hours, the government announced draft rules raising the amount foreign funds can invest in equities and bonds by 25%.
Guys, What's your interpretation from the above news? How will be the market on monday?
