Retail investors, FII support keep the market buoyant

Finally the Sensex crossed the 5000 levels, even as the last two days saw some corrections due to profit-booking at higher levels. FIIs continued their support as the week (ended Thursday, November 6) saw over $ 300 million coming into the Indian market. Retail investors continue to evince their interest in small cap stocks. This along with FII support will drive the market in future. According to market observers, Sensex is facing some resistance around 5150 level. But the overall bullish sentiment will persist. The sensitive index closed the week 267 points higher at 5047 points.

Textile stocks continue to enjoy the support of the market as most of the companies declared their results on a very positive note. Market heavy weight Reliance Industries closed the week Rs 4.00 higher at Rs 491 as the future outlook for the company as well as the industry appears to be robust. Gainers included among others Arvind Mills which have prepaid some portion of its debt to boost the margin.

Investors may hold on to the existing stocks as uptrend is expected to continue amidst minor corrections that may disrupt the intermediate rallies. Buy on declines, buy particularly fundamentally strong textiles and other old economy stocks.

 


Edit
Manufacturing costs
The cost of manufacturing has been a major concern for the domestic textile industry which is shortly entering into the post-MFA regime.
