Global Markets:-

Dow Jones closed down by 195 points as Bear Stearns said that it had to draw on short-term financing from the Fed, through JP Morgan after its liquidity “deteriorated significantly”. The stock of Bear Stearns lost 47% in a day. MTNL was the worst performing Indian ADR with 8% drop. Patni Comp gained by 2%. Asian markets have opened in the negative.

Outlook for Monday:-

· The week is characterized by a lot of events – Fed Meet, Adv Tax figures, UPA-Left meet for Nuclear Deal. Sun-outage will also come to an end on 18th March and in addition to all these, it is a truncated week because last 2 days are holidays. Market can become a lot volatile.

· The bounce did come on Friday despite bad inflation figures but bad global markets can give us a lower opening today. A fall below Thursday lows is not ruled out in the morning. But the bottom is near and we, as investors, should take benefit of that. Stocks that can bounce quickly are Ranbaxy, Maruti, Cairn, Bata, Purvankara Projects, Amtek Auto, Suzlon, Mundra Port, Renuka Sugar.

· As we have come below a lot of technical supports, the recovery may not be fast. That is why one is advised to buy in tranches and in cash.
