  • Inflation accelerated faster than expected in early August to a new 13-year high of 12.44 percent. For the week ended Aug. 2, the WPI was above the previous week's 12.01 percent and the highest since the current series became available in 1995.

  • The Cabinet approved the sixth pay commission giving a pay rise between 28 and 40% over existing basic pay for Central Govt employees. The revised pay scale is effective from Jan06 leading to more pressure on fiscal front.

Outlook for 18 August, 2008:-

  • Many stocks are showing bearish formations, so one need not hurry for buying positions. Some more downside is still probable and we can wait.

  • Tech stocks can rally more but realty and banking can still be avoided because of inflationary pressures. NIIT Tech and KPIT look good on graph for intraday also. Nifty can show ranged trade, but stock-specific movement can be seen.

Ideas for Trading (for short-term position):-

NIIT Tech (118): - Buy for 145-150 with SL 107.

Reliance Ind (2276):- The stock is breaking down and one can go short around 2300-2330 for target of 2130-2150. SL 2400
