September start… positive to begin with!

India Infoline Research Team / 08:30 , Sep 01, 2010

Tuesday’s late recovery could well spill into today’s session, at least in early trades. Asian markets are mildly positive. Extrapolating the global trend, we expect a steady to higher start for Indian bourses. The advance may sustain, provided there is no fresh bad news or imaginary evils from any corner of the world.

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter. – O Goldsmith
 
Tuesday’s late recovery could well spill into today’s session, at least in early trades. Asian markets are mildly positive. Extrapolating the global trend, we expect a steady to higher start for Indian bourses. The advance may sustain, provided there is no fresh bad news or imaginary evils from any corner of the world.
 
It’s the first trading session of a new month, which means lots of new data points to absorb and analyse. Back home, we will get monthly Auto and Cement sales aside from the trade data. Globally, the markets will closely follow the manufacturing PMI figures, particularly that for China and the US. But the most awaited data is the US monthly payroll report that will be out on Friday.
 
Talking of data, reports suggest some discrepancies in Q1 GDP numbers. May be the Government’s statistical office could have a credible explanation. Nevertheless, India is likely to grow at upwards of 8% in FY11. The big question is whether a slowing global economy will bite off a few percentage points from the GDP.
