Textile stocks make recovery despite low volumes

After remaining rangebound throughout the week (ended Thursday 19) at 5800-6100 levels, the Sensex lost momentum on Thursday. A slip of 170 points saw the Sensex closing below 5900 levels at 5868 point. The institutional activity was pretty weak with volumes remaining thin during the sessions.

The partial revival in the Sensex above 6000 levels was broken with the downfall, technical market men believe the Sensex could witness a gradual fall up to 5500 levels in the near future.

In textile stocks, reliance witnessed a good run during the week, crossing Rs 600 levels and finally closing at Rs 581.3 on Thursday. Over the week, other textile stocks witnessed selling pressure with Raymond, Zodiac, Pantaloon, Arvind Mills closing lower. IPCL remained firm due to the forthcoming issue.

In coming weeks, the market is expected to remain at a low ebb. A downslide to 5500 levels could be with some technical uptrends. It is expected that a lull period till elections may continue which could see the market in a consolidation phase between 5450 to 5970 levels. Investors are advised not to make additional commitments for the time being.

 


Edit
DEPB issue
The recent reduction in DEPB rate is going to further squeeze the margins of exporters who are already hard pressed to compete the global trade challenge.
