No one would have thought that Oil short targets would again appear at only above Rs 5150. In fact copper watchers and other commodity watchers would also aver the current bullish cycle in the doctor of metals and the rest of them are also tentative with global pricies still moving up only to $3.67 a pound expectations, implying  asteady discount at higher levels in the indian market. A sell off in Gold too underlines belying of Domestic expectations and will with sucha broad thrust be able to move the Rupee up as a better balance sheet beckons in March and an equity rally is pretty much out of the question

Cadila and GMR results disappoint and the former's doubling of losses though expected by many,  was supposed to have completed restructuring of its structures by this time to spread the debt load , Male notwithstanding and the latter is much a shocker after Sun Pharma climbed out of its stagnation pit almost on cue of ithe global business cycles improving. Sun's loss of Taro control will continue to bite as others like Glenmark continue to come up in the domestic ranks and that anyway leaves Cadila on the back burner with no visible leadership in either international or domestic segments but would be on as many buy lists as Cipla and Biocon with bigger and better stories because of an assured growth clip while others are subject to volatility from innovation and automated trading as well in a traders' frustrated market series in February 2013 when the pre budget rally has been scotched but the India report card is sunny as ever, when Asia FDI will start retreating as China peaks but India FII and FDI interest is safe in the pockets of stable acquiescence we engender in the world investor community.

Global High Yield and Yuan issuance seem to be good for Asia in the four quarters thru to 2014 as well and if that survives, Investment grade Debt and gilts could also come back on the strength of the currencies in the second half of the year

The morning Olympics have been a subcontinent show with only one or two comments in almost rabid monlogues making any sense, almost making one feel like a backbencher has been allowed to speak and you must just suffer through. Of particular delayed incapability and thus high Avodance quotient was the so meandering opinion of parrying institutional investors who are later than the last back bencher in grasping the importance of investing and if the same backworking backbencher theorems are applied and still make sense, these would produce more defensible evidence on employing of research teams in advance than jumping on to available decisions already in action, and thus the morning has been an almost entire waste of time and as readers can pick and choose when to survivve my opinion than comment on it as is being written, I was the only one who suffered. IIMA recruitments also back those wanting to get into a research career and I am still wondering Iif I will have to go thru an entire Ph D program to get suitable rich to be employment. Research for trading desks intermingling now with Front Office Quants, look like much more succinct and concise and thus productive except for Risk managers hoping to write a book on avoiding risk. 

Hexaare has finally survived a s a reminder of the annuity business IT and BPO bring, the sector surviving the month of Rupee appreciation only because Auto consumption is still on ttraining rails on the takeoff leg of the runway
