After Yesterday’s big fall market may open up on a positive note, as investors may find out buying opportunity on the beaten down stocks. Markets yesterday plunged almost 2 per cent, on the back of lack of clarity on taxing of FIIs coming via Mauritius route. Overnight, US market closed higher more than a per cent after Bernanke statement that accommodative policy is still needed and on the hopes that European Union will increase the size of bailout package. Asian market too, have joined the overnight rally of US markets, with the three major Indices Hang seng, Nikkei and Shanghai are trading in the positive territory,    

Going forward, the outlook for Indian equities this week is very volatile. Also with the March F&O contracts expiring this week on Thursday, market volatility could be higher as traders roll over positions to the April series. Investors and traders on the street are expected to carry forward their short positions to April in view of the bearish market sentiments.

Rupee has shown some signs of nervousness in the past, and it is now trading at 51.3090 against US dollar. The fears of further Rupee depreciation from here on are higher as the crude prices are at the higher level. Brent crude is currently trading at 126.12 USD a barrel. Another factor which could further weaken rupee would be the yesterday’s confusion on the taxing norms for FIIs which are coming from Mauritius route. FII may remove money from the market which would further crate a rise in demand for dollars against rupee. This may further have negative impact on the markets. 

Today, Reserve Bank of India and the Finance Minister is going to decide the market borrowings for the first six months of FY13. One has to watch out for the movement in the 10 year benchmark bond yield. 

In conclusion, for today we expect markets volatile as there could be some buying seeing in the beaten down stocks. However one has to take a cautious approach while investing in the markets.
