Consolidation on cards after two days of hefty gains Stocks are likely to open higher and consolidate later in the day, as bulls might take a breather after two consecutive sessions of gigantic gains. Expect the Sensex to trade between 10,200 to 10,500 for the day.
U.S. stocks closed marginally lower Monday as automobile manufacturers reported dismal monthly sales figures and after a report that U.S. manufacturing activity had dropped in October, with investors cautious as the race for the White House neared the finish line.The Dow ended flat with a 5 point loss and Nasdaq ended up by 0.31 percent. Asian markets opened in green today on opening bell.Japan stocks rose, rebounding from the Nikkei 225 Stock Average's worst monthly slump on record, as higher dividend yields and cheaper valuations attracted investors. The Nikkei climbed 228.63, or 2.7 percent, to 8,805.61 in early trade. The focus is likely to shift to old economy stocks, from Realty and Banking stocks. One should look to pick up stocks in Cement, Fertilizer and some FMCG stocks as the valuations certainly look cheaper in this space. Media space looks interesting as well, we like Sun TV, ENIL and Deccan Chronicle holdings in this space. There has been a huge up move in the ADAG stocks like Reliance Infra and RNRL have shown some interesting moves yesterday and investors who entered at lower levels can book profits at current levels. The sentiment in the market has turned positive and has reflected in the form of big gains on the Sensex. Our advice to investors is to pick stocks in a disciplined fashion and accumulate quality stocks rather than getting in to the speculative trades. In a nut shell pick stocks you are comfortable with and think long term as things might turn worse any moment. Overall a flat to positive day for the indices with some stock specific action on the cards.
