Volatile Trades on SGX

 Something unusual happened on Nifty Futures Traded at Singapore Exchange, There are couple of volatile trades can be seen from the high and low prices registered .As today is expiry for derivatives one can expect market to be volatile but +5% to -5% a swing of 10% on a normal day is bit abnormal. We will see if we can get any information from google on how those trades happened. I will be crossing my fingers as am having a one side position on market

Market Direction in the New Year

Markets went into New year in good move. Nifty started 2010 at 5200 and ended at 6134 primarily because of global recovery and its impact on domestic recovery (consumption,manufacturing,imports etc..) and Strong FII flows into EM's which gave an 18% Return.

Nifty Started Jan Option Series with a Good move on  Friday. A Lot of PUT Writing Happening at 6000 Levels and can safely say for now that 6000 is good support for the upmove which  started from last week.

Good amount of CALL Writing also happened at 6300 levels which clearly acts as resistance for now. Also on 31st December PCR value is 1.29 for Index Options which indicates a lot of PUT writing happening when compared to CALL writing and NIFTY is in upmove atleast in the near term say for the next 1-2 Weeks.


Another interesting thing in the current series is NIFTY Rollover seen at 61.2 % which is very low compared to previous month of  75 % and rollover numbers say that not many participants are taking the positions which they had in December. But overall JAN Market wide rollover is at 84.5% compared with 85.5% in DEC Rollover and that looks like a good sentiment in contrast to Index Rollover positions.




Once the inflation numbers comes up next week and if that is in uncomfortable range then RBI will be going for Rate Hike which might hamper the sentiment on the street.

Call writing is a branch of options trading strategy involving the selling of call options to earn premiums.

Economic Growth and the Policy Imperatives--by Dr. K.C. Chakrabarty


A Very Good Article by Dr. K.C. Chakrabarty on Prospects for Economic Growth and the Policy Imperatives for India. Here he talks about the past,present and future growth of Indian economy.
  • The transformation to the high growth phase
  • The impact of the crisis & the V-shaped recovery
  • The near term growth prospects and the challenges 
  • The long-term growth prospects
  • Making growth process more inclusive.
I had a question for him..from 1991 BOP to 2007-08 Recession..by seeing at the instances of Rise and Fall of economy is it possible  for the Central Bank to Foresee the Problems in economy. If yes when are they likely to turn up...if not then when is that you people are going to create :)

The Last statement in reference to my conclusion of recession.. "Root cause of  Crisis in west is by investing money into Real Estate as if real estate prices never come down,,,,and now see what happened over there....And i believe the same thing is happening over here now.. people speculating that real estate value will always go up...and investing as if there is no tomorrow...and RBI is not interfering to arrest the up move" ..Will see how it turns up in coming years :)

Jagdish Bhagwati on Free Trade



Jagdish Bhagwati can be called as The Globalization Guru Here are his views on Indian Economy in a Globalized World.  He talks about reforms in India and also distinguishes between Free Trade of Goods and Services with Free Trade in Capital Flows.He talks about financial innovation which is leading to creative destruction like forcing people to take more risks. What are the strucutral problems in the world economy?.

How is Outsourcing jobs to India and china is helping the world economy?Is US really taking a protectionist position related to International Trade.?Not much but to some extent ,cause it has to protect the incomes of people over there. He says "If income falls ..Trade falls and sometimes it will lead to financial collapse". I guess that's is what is worrying uncle helicopter Ben

 

Note: I am reading few of his works..so expect couple of posts on Trade related stuff and also if anyone finds this please share it with me
