Gaping at gaps

India Infoline Research Team / 08:59 , May 18, 2012

Borrowing costs for Spain surged even as data confirmed a recession. Bankia shares crashed on reports of large deposit withdrawal. Moody's has downgraded 16 Spanish banks as well as 4 Spanish regions...

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach. - Earl Nightingale
 
It’s a falling Friday at start as indices brace for a big gap-down. The seemingly endless bloodbath in world markets continues and it’s a no-brainer that the source of continued trepidation is Greece and growing concern about the possible spread of the debt contagion to Spain and Italy.
 
Borrowing costs for Spain surged even as data confirmed a recession. Bankia shares crashed on reports of large deposit withdrawal. Moody's has downgraded 16 Spanish banks as well as 4 Spanish regions. Steep drop in commodities, especially crude, is a positive. But, unfortunately for India the crash in the rupee has negated much of those gains.
 
Risk remains a dangerous word for now and safety is top priority. The dollar and treasuries remain safe havens. Even gold has not been spared. The 10-year US bond yield is at record low. Stock indices in the US and Europe continue to tumble while Asian markets are shaky. In short, the trend remains down with 4800 on the Nifty under threat.
 
Q4 FY12 result preview:
SBI – Revenues Rs119.8bn (+48.7% yoy),
