  • The rupee fell to 43.5950/$,its lowest level against the U.S. dollar in more than 17 months, weakened by a falling stock market and some strength in the U.S. currency.

  • BSE Breadth 930 Adv-1668 Dec NSE Breadth 360 Adv-861 Dec Upper Circuit -123 Lower Circuit –144

  • OI 76584 Cr (+282 Cr) Nifty OI Up 2% PCR 1.14 (from 1.15)

  • Cement and Sugar stocks saw more shorts being created. The total OI of the market is almost unchanged for the past 5 trading sessions indicating lack of fresh fund flows into the market. Rise in Nifty basis from 2 to 16 and low PCR readings around 1.14 indicate more pain in store, though a rally through short-covering is not ruled out.

Outlook for 19 August, 2008:-

  • Markets to open weak. Nifty testing 4260-4320 can give way to some rebound.

  • Volumes have dropped to a low level and in such a scenario, even small FII selling/buying can give way to wild swings, indicating a lot of volatility.
