Positive outlook for the day


Markets have been increasingly comfortable with European risks over the past few months. A fall in overnight U.S. equities on discouraging U.S. factory orders and euro zone jitters spurred more profit-taking after rally so far this year. Indian government is gearing up to unveil this month its budget for the fiscal year starting in April, which analysts see as a key test of commitment to shoring up finances.

With the buzz on imposition of Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT) in the forthcoming Budget getting louder, Forward Markets Commission (FMC) feels the market should be given more time to absorb such a levy. All the five national exchanges have made representation to FMC listing out the drawbacks on levy of CTT. The views of exchanges have been forwarded to the Ministry along with the FMC opinion.

Tyre manufacturer Dunlop India Ltd got a breather on 4th February with the court directing the official liquidator not to take any further step till 6th February. A division bench of justices G C Gupta and T K Das on Monday passed the directive with the condition that if the company pays up `.10 crore on Wednesday, the court will consider the prayer for a stay on the winding-up order passed on 31st January, directing the liquidator to take possession of the assets, books and documents of the company immediately.

On the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, February futures series may touch ¥311.5 per kg and July ¥335 per kg mark on Tuesday. Domestic market may see an upward move.
