Market outlook
 Market may trade with huge volatility during the forth coming week ahead of expiry
of near month F&O contracts.
 The movement of the rupee, trend in investment by foreign institutional investors
and trend in global emerging markets may dictate near term trend on the bourses.
 The rupee has slumped against the dollar in the past few days on worries that India
would struggle to fund its current-account deficit when the US central bank pulls
back stimulus to the US economy.
 Rupee depreciation fuels inflation, increases import bill and current account deficit.
It also increases the government's spending on fuel subsidies, potentially widening
the fiscal deficit.
 Meanwhile, political gridlock has hit functioning of Parliament during the ongoing
monsoon session
 On the global market front, investors are keeping a close watch on the Federal
Reserve's three-day annual monetary conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo which began
on Friday, 23 August 2013, on whether Fed officials give any indication of the
timing of the potential tapering of the Fed's bond purchases

7. India MarketSummary fortheweekended 23-8-2013
Sector Outlook
Market trend is on the downside only.
Metal
• Rupee depreciation will be beneficial for non-ferrous stocks. Declining rupee paves way
for steel price hikes. In the short term steel demand has been muted and has not picked up
enough to absorb a price hike. However, Tata steel expected to register growth as some
improvement indication from Europe business margin
• Investors can buy Tata steel, Hindalco and Hindzinc at declines
Power
• The compensatory tariff hike that Tata Power and Adani might see will be a huge relief
for the sector. Tata Power is likely to be the biggest beneficiary because as per Modi's
estimates, one can expect the company to report Rs 200 crore profit due to the 55-58 paise
hike, instead of Rs 1,000 crore loss without the hike.
• Buy Tata power at current market price
OMC
• Sharp rupee depreciation government will either have a one-time price hike for diesel or
will increase the monthly pace of price hikes. This sector is largely regulated. Investors
should now be looking at oil marketing companies, the volatile stocks that are down right
now, pose very good buying opportunity.
• Buy BPCL, IOC and HPCL at declines
