Profit booking has been the name of the game in the stock market during the week. Some days, the market opened on strong note followed by the selling pressure towards the close. While on other days, weak opening was followed by the buying pressure towards close. Hence as mentioned in the column last week, the market remained extremely range bound. The S&P CNX Nifty index closed flat at 971.65 level on Friday. L&T, Satyam, Zee Telefilms, HLL and ACC were the major gainers among the topline shares while Cipla, Dr Reddy’s, MTNL, ICICI Bank and Glaxo lost substantially during the week. Out of the 50 shares in Nifty index, 28 registered decline that indicates the negative market breadth. The derivative market registered substantial volumes despite the fact that trading took place on four days as the market remained closed on Tuesday on account of Dussehra. The average daily turnover was in excess of Rs 1,650 crore during the week with the turnover crossing Rs 1,700 crore mark on Thursday and Friday. The intra-day volatility on both stock options and stock futures rose on selected shares during the week. Index FuturesA total of 24,051 contracts were traded during the week with trading interest witnessing rising trend in Nifty futures. The outstanding positions also rose consistently during the week. The volatility rose in October expiry contracts and for the first time in the recent past the price sensitivity in Nifty futures was found to be higher as compared to the Nifty index. This indicates high risk for investors. Further, the cost of carry moved into positive territory after remaining negative during the first two trading days of the week. It indicates that investors are looking forward to better times and the same is getting reflected in the cost of carry. Therefore, developments in Nifty futures segment are hinting towards an uptrend in the coming week. Index OptionsThis segment also experienced reasonably good volumes with uneven distribution of trading across the weekdays. The put-call ratio witnessed declining trend that indicates an optimistic outlook for future. However, the outstanding positions and trading interest are scattered in the range 960 to 1000 for Nifty calls and 940 to 980 for Nifty puts. This reflects the confused state of mind of investors and is responsible for the rangebound movement witnessed in the market. The implied volatility for Nifty call options rose to around 12 per cent while the same for Nifty put options remained flat at around 15 per cent during the week. This, coupled with low put-call ratio is an indication of buying interest in Nifty calls which means that investors are acquiring ‘right to buy’ at present moment. This is a positive indication for the market. Options On Individual SharesSatyam, Infosys, HPCL, BPCL and SBI are among the stock options that witnessed high trading interest during the week. Some of the trading interest was guided by the expectations of quarterly numbers. Among the top traded options, Infosys and Satyam witnessed rise in put-call ratio as investors acquired ‘right to sell’ to safeguard themselves against the fall in prices. The concern has risen among investors following the sharp increase in the share prices of these companies. It seems that the option market would take some more time to share the optimism prevailing among cash market investors. As opposed to this, BPCL and Reliance witnessed low put-call ratio as their share prices have seen a battering in the recent past. For Reliance specially, the implied volatility rose to 40 per cent on put options on Friday that indicates the bearish outlook on this share. Futures On Individual SharesIn addition to the high volumes, the trading remained highly concentrated among few shares in this segment. Satyam alone notched up one-third of the total volume while the top five shares contributed to 73 per cent of the total trading. The volatility in this segment was high for most of the contracts that may be considered as the starting point for any sacred trend. The cost of carry on Satyam, Reliance and Infosys was found to be negative at the close of the week that indicates caution exercised by the investors. In case of Infosys, the interim dividend of Rs 12.50 announced by the company has led to this disparity. Otherwise, investors were found covering their cash market exposure through these contracts. Outlook For FutureThe positive side of this week’s trading is that investors have not resorted to an indiscriminate selling. The foreign institutional investors remained the net buyers, though marginally, during the week. On the other hand, mutual funds turned net sellers though they have invested heavily in the last week. The coming week would witness a number of quarterly results namely, VSNL, Tata Power, Satyam, Bajaj Auto and Dr Reddy’s among others. The expectations from these companies would drive the market sentiments. Anything negative on this front would hamper the uptrend and will lead to selling pressure in the market. Further, fence sitters would pitch in to book profit when the market moves either way. Therefore, this week is crucial for deciphering future market trend and investors may start taking positions in shares or stock futures or options from the medium term perspective.

In today’s Iran, the media, students, Justice and Religious Affairs conservatives, a fascinating and political bouquet of colorful flowers. Journalists, including those who work in government are proud of newspapers, the newspapers that have been closed are ordered by the courts to reproduction reformist ideas. The students are proud to participate actively in the process of change that goes in their country. The legal system derives its powers of the Constitution and its own interpretation of the strict rules of Iranian society. And religious conservatives draw their inspiration of the basic principles of Islam.

A witness to a fascinating political process in the country with the main players of the bone is not the subject of what they want to achieve at the end of this process, but all at the same time, patience and tolerance was the name of the game. With an upcoming study on the ground, the situation on a week during the visit to Iran at the invitation of the Islamic Republic, it is not possible to indicate all segments of the complexity of the conflicts and contradictions, which have always slices Iranian society, which in the scene Once again, we could clearly see a nation proud to continue to walk with confidence, in spite of all the opportunities that become familiar with both internally and externally.

In nature, and how Iran, too, like Pakistan, a fierce struggle between those who have the mandate of the man, on the one hand, and those who believe they have been by God to lead From their nation on the Other. Reformers in Iran, inspired by its President Mohammad Khatami, the winner of the last election, perhaps, with 80% of the vote. Conservatives on the other hand, have succeeded so far, crimping, the argument seemed to him that if you are not with the upgrade, but also the basic principles of Islam. So it is not the road to modernity without receiving directives religious doctrines that fact exist.

The case of Dr. Hashem Aghajari, who was accused, the implementation of the ideas of “Islamic Protestantism” and Pollsters who came on the basis of results than men in Iran want dialogue with the United States, spoke of freedom in the media and in intellectual circles in the country. A group of intellectuals believe that the only way to ensure that progress made by that country to respect the concept of moderation. Radicalism, they say, is a feature of chaos and instability of social behaviour, while the spirit of moderation, stresses respect for the rule of law. She also reported that the radicalism in all its forms must be abandoned only if the country is sailing in the direction of spiritual perfection and all-out development. On the other side of Resalat, a publication in a commentary “A Remembrance” to remember that, since May 23, 1997 (when Mohammad Khatami was elected, the President of the Republic for the first time), that the group stressed the need for changing the political structure of the reformist camp. The reformist camp has protected with interminable political elements, and sometimes even contradictory, ideals, which recalls the paper. He also pointed out that some people have tried, in a chaos of the company, under the banner of reform. With regard to the case in which the court Pollsters negotiations recently launched another newspaper Aftab-e Yazd, recalled that some parts of the press have from the outset insisted that the defendants are hundred percent of the espionage is found guilty, while others have Affirms that the case is political in nature. He also pointed out that some parts of the written press, in advance of public opinion polls, by Gallup, the defendants in this case, Zionist left. It seems that, whatever their origin, opinion polls, consideration of the views of some national groups are valid, while opinion polls, the need for a revision of certain guidelines are ignored, the release added. In the meantime, the former head of the judiciary, Ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi, the charge of treason against the three pollsters tent, for allegedly disclosing secret information to foreign countries. The case concerns a former student leader at the resumption of the American Embassy in Tehran, Abbas Abdi and Hossein Qazian, Behrouz Geranpayeh and Alireza Alavitabar of Ayandeh Research Institute. The defendants are charged with the implementation of the investigation at the behest of Washington-based Gallup Organization, as well as manipulation of the results of the investigation. On the other side of the second vice-spokesman of the Majlis, Mohammad Reza Khatami said that under the laws of the State of the sole source for identifying cases of espionage and spies of information the ministry. He further stated that the Tribunal has waived from the adoption of the Ministry of Information law, the role and the expression of public opinion, that the documents for political guidance. He also criticized the judicial system is not free for a conversation between the accused and his lawyers. In the meantime, is also a revolutionary court has decided to sentence him to three inmates, according to reports members of religious-nationalist groups and others to death, to lengthy prison terms. Several activists of the banned groups in the past year have been arrested, and later serious offences such as “espionage attempts to State security and undermine the interest …” The arrests offsetting a wave of protests in universities and pressure groups and reformers have been condemned by intellectuals and legislators. Some believe that the cause of death, whether the new warrants has been issued, which can result in protests against State costs both at home and abroad. “The country paid a high price, the courts after Mr. Aghajari was sentenced to death, “said one Iranian intellectual.

Today, an intense debate on Iran or on the question of whether lifting the embargo on satellite television. The reformist press for the lifting of the ban argue that the results in larger freedom, the more knowledge. Opponents require that the greater awareness of the company depends more detrimental to the national security and integrity in the long term. A suggestion, in the Majlis, that the use of technology in Malaysia, a few years ago, for the unwanted channels, which is accessed by the public. But given that these techniques have since been overtaken conservatives believe that people were simply find ways to circumvent the restrictions. The reformers, therefore wonder if governments the right to prescribe how their country should think and see what it should be, and whether Social Affairs, by improving the implementation of restrictions or prohibitions or to the promotion of public participation and respect for its Choices.-Onlooker
