The Nifty 50 index lost 43.35 points or 0.38% at 11,476.95. The Sensex regained the psychological 38,000 mark after sliding below that level in intraday trade. Global stocks dropped as heightened worries over international trade conflicts curbed investor appetite for riskier assets.

The Sensex fell 139.61 points or 0.37% at 38,018.31, its lowest closing level since 17 August 2018. The index rose 92.69 points, or 0.24% at the day's high of 38,250.61. The index fell 383.50 points, or 1.01% at the day's low of 37,774.42.

On the macro front, August survey data signalled a slower rise in business activity across India's service sector, primarily driven by the weakest growth in new work in three months. The seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Services Business Activity Index fell from July's 21-month peak of 54.2 to 51.5 in August, signalling the slowest growth in the current sequence. The data was released during market hours today, 5 September 2018.

Overseas, European stocks were trading lower, as renewed concerns over international trade conflicts hampered investors' appetite for riskier assets. Asian stocks ended lower amid continued pressure in many emerging markets and as trade tensions persisted. US stocks fell yesterday, 4 September 2018, with all major indexes finishing lower, as investors looked ahead to a busy week of trade negotiations and economic data.

Trade tensions were a key focus for investors, with the US reportedly scheduled to restart tense negotiations with Canada that could lead to way to revising the North American Free Trade Agreement. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump threatened to leave Canada out of any new Nafta pact. The president of the country's largest group of labor unions said that Nafta won't work if it doesn't include Canada.

On the macro front, the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing survey rose to 61.3 in August, its highest level since May 2004. Separately, the IHS Markit reading on August manufacturing came in at 54.7, compared with 55.3 in July.

#Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.6.85) as expected is hitting the upper circuits. We can look forward for higher targets in future as the company expands its overseas business. 

#The shares of J P Associates Ltd (Rs.11.50) has made a 52-week low of Rs.10.70, after Rakhesh Jhunjhunwala increased its stake and is now trading near that price only. When Rakesh Jhunjhunwala increased his holding in the company my good friend Ashish Chugh, commented: "What a clarity of thought".  However this clarity of thought is what has taken the share to yearly lows. Now even the media is silent on  this......and will probably forget, if the share continues to make further lows. Hero worshiping and flattering, big guns has been a part of our system. If you remember I had recommended J P Associates Ltd when it was trading near Rs.7 levels in this blog, after that the stock gave around 4 times returns from that price. I also asked all to exit the share when it broke a key support point. 

#The shares of Mro Tech Reality Ltd (Rs.48.05) which was recommended several times in this blog at various prices has been hitting the upper circuits since some time. It is nearing its target of Rs.51, which I mentioned earlier in this blog. 

#The shares of HDIL (Rs.32.85) which  recommended at various prices reached my recent target of Rs.35 (intraday high: Rs.35.60) and naturally profit booking was suggested in the scrip. I had asked all the Premium Members to average the scrip, when it fell near its 52-week lows and exit at around Rs.32-35, which I feel most have done... Those who are still holding the stock are suggested to book profits and take fresh positions only above Rs.37.50.

#I will be giving fresh inputs on TV Vision Ltd (Rs.6) and 3i Infotech Ltd (Rs.3.50), to the Premium Members soon, along with a recommendation of a short term momentum counter. Those who want to know the name of that scrip in advance, should join my Premium Service. Also, due to, tight work schedule and due to my chequered health conditions, this blog may not be updated on daily basis, like I used to do earlier, however, the Premium Members will get inputs on their Whatsapp on regular basis.

Yesterday, morning I came from KEM Hospital, Parel, Bombay after treatment for fever, cough, headache and other allied problems. Hence the blog could not be updated. However, I was there in the markets today and hence decided to put some inputs for the ardent blog readers. The repeated illness and other domestic problems, during the last few months have made me frail and mentally disturbed. 

Anyway, the Sensex ended with small losses while the Nifty ended almost flat amid negative global cues after US President Donald Trump stepped up his tough talk on trade. The barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, fell 45.03 points or 0.12% to settle at 38,645.07. The Nifty 50 index rose 3.70 points or 0.03% to settle at 11,680.50.

Broader market clocked decent gains. Among secondary barometers, the BSE Mid-Cap index rose 0.35%. The BSE Small-Cap index rose 0.55%. Both these indices outperformed the Sensex.

The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was positive. On BSE, rose 1440 shares rose and rose 1236 shares fell. A total of rose 184 shares were unchanged.

Indian export related pharma and IT companies rallied after the rupee depreciated past 71 per dollar, its lowest level against the dollar. I have asking all to buy IT stock since the last few week. My call on Nitesh Estate Ltd (Rs.7.45) was somewhat anchored on this theme....

Among IT shares, MindTree (up 5.92%), Tech Mahindra (up 4.80%), HCL Technologies (up 2.93%), Infosys (up 1.59%), Hexaware Technologies (up 1.28%), Wipro (up 0.94%), MphasiS (up 0.21%) and Oracle Financial Services Software (up 0.14%), edged higher.

Net tax receipts in the first four months of 2018-2019 fiscal year that ends in March 2019 were Rs 2.93 lakh crore, government data showed.

Overseas, European stocks fell following a downbeat session in Asia after US President Donald Trump stepped up his tough talk on trade. Asia shares declined as Wall Street ended its four-day winning streak in the last session, following a report that US President Donald Trump voiced his support for moving forward with more proposed tariffs.

China reported on Friday that factory activity was higher than expected in August, with the official manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) coming in at 51.3. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below that signals contraction. China's official services PMI for August rose to 54.2 for August against 54.0 in July, the National Bureau of Statistics reported.

In US, stocks snapped a four-day winning streak to finish lower Thursday, with the Dow falling back below 26,000. Media reported that Trump said to his aides that he supports going ahead with the imposition of proposed tariffs on an additional $200 billion in Chinese goods. The report did, however, also mention that Trump has not made up his mind on the matter. The White House declined to comment on the report.

On the US data front, initial jobless claims, a barometer of layoffs, rose by 3,000 to 213,000 in the week ended 25 August 2018. Nonetheless, the monthly average of claims fell by 1,500 to 212,250, the lowest level since December 1969.

Consumer spending climbed 0.4% in July, according to a government reading. Incomes rose 0.3%. And the 12-month increase in the PCE index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, rose to 2.3% from 2.2%, marking the highest level since April 2012, suggesting the Fed is likely to maintain its hawkish bias.

The scrip almost doubled from the recently made low, where it was recommended to the Premium Members for accumulation.. If you want to make money on consistent basis, then there is a need to take help from experts or from the professionals in this trade. 

My strongly recommended counter Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.6) today hit another buyer freeze. The stock has given a 90 days break out on daily charts. The target of Rs.9.6, remains intact. Stay invested.

The stock of TV Vision Ltd today made a high of Rs.6.39 in the BSE before closing at Rs.6.20, while the stock of Sri Adhikari Brothers Ltd, one of its group companies closed flat at Rs.7.3. The company has come up with a new plan to cut its debts.

Among secondary barometers, the BSE Mid-Cap index rose 1.07%. The BSE Small-Cap index rose 0.70%. Both these indices underperformed the Sensex.

The announcement was made on Saturday, 25 August 2018.

Overseas, Asian and European stocks gained as investors react to comments from US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on the US central bank's policy tightening path. This also follows an announcement by China's central bank regarding the yuan's daily midpoint the same day.

In US, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached all-time highs on Friday as Netflix shares rose. Sentiment was also boosted by strong earnings and solid economic data being reported earlier last week.

Last Friday, Powell delivered a speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, where leading central bankers met to discuss the future of monetary policy. He said further, gradual rate hikes were likely in the future, noting the economy is strong and able to withstand tighter monetary policy.

Powell's comments came hours after the People's Bank of China announced that it was tweaking its methodology for the fixing of the yuan's daily midpoint in an effort to stabilize the currency market.

The scrip of Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Rs.79.85) touched Rs.81.30 in the BSE. This is an excellent scrip to be accumulated for the long term.

The stock of TV Vision Ltd (Rs.5.97) has been going down after making a double top at around Rs.6.50. I however, feel that dips should be used as accumulation points for medium to long term benefits. The RSI is at 49.93. The company has come up with new debt resolution plan which is under consideration of the lenders. Recently in ET, Sachin Relekar, Fund Manager-Equity at LIC Mutual Fund said: "Investors putting money in midcap and smallcap funds for longer time frame should have higher tolerance against volatility, as the domestic market has many macro headwinds lying in wait". 

The scrip of Kwality Ltd has hit Lower Circuit at Rs.24.3 in the NSE. I had earlier mentioned in this blog to book some profits due to the presence of strong resistance zones between Rs.23-25. Hope most of you have done the same. 

The scrip of Manappuram  Finance Ltd (Rs.101.25) which was recommended around Rs.13 in 2013, gave around 9 (nine) times return (in 5 years) to the patient investors. The stock earlier made a high of Rs.130.45 in the NSE. This is what you get in the long term, if your choice of scrip is correct, coupled with good future visibility. Keep holding with a SL at Rs.92.

The stock of MBL Infrastructure Ltd was recommended to the Premium Members as a buy for the short term with a target of Rs.24 and SL of Rs.17. The scrip made a high of Rs.20.80 in the NSE.

The name of the share along with resistance points, stop losses and targets will be delivered in their Whatsapp address. Those who want to know the name in advance, should join the Premium Service. Also, due to repeated fevers and on account of too much work on other verticals, I am not able to update this blog on regular basis. Hope the things will get streamlined in future, by the grace of God, with my health condition improving a bit.

#Today's morning call Nitesh Estate Ltd (Rs.7.80) at Rs.7.90 moved to Rs.8.10, during the intraday. Founded in 2004, the Bangaluru based Nitesh Estates Ltd has predominantly been a residential player, apart from having presence in commercial offices, hospitality and retail assets. It may be recalled that Nitesh Pune Mall, a subsidiary of Nitesh Estates, had intimated to the stock exchanges on 25 October, 2017 regrading its discussion with certain investors for raising capital of over Rs.350 crore.
In another development, there were media reports that almost all the big developers such as DLF, Prestige, Brigade, Phoenix Mills, L&T, Nitesh Estates and a host of regional and local developers are building malls. An n estimated 7.8 million square feet of mall space is expected to come up this year, the highest ever supply since 2011, according to property consultancy JLL. This is 40 per cent more compared to last year. The next three years -- 2018 to 2020 -- are expected to see around 20 million sq ft of space hitting the market, JLL said. Experts said the booming retail sector and evolving shopping scenario in Tier II and Tier III cities were driving the new supply.
This Bangaluru based Real Estate company is likely to get positive effects due to buoyancy in the IT sector, following the depreciation of the INR. If you have the capacity to hold the scrip for 3-6 months, I mean till January,, '19, the scrip could give good returns. 

#The stock of Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.4.85) today moved to Rs.5.15 in the NSE. After such spectacular quarterly results, I am sure the scrip will slowly move towards the next target of Rs.9.7. The export oriented Textile and IT stocks are likely to outperform the market, in the coming days. Another thing: Someone in Bollywood told me that Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.4.85) is actually an Alvira Khan Agnihotri Venture.. Can anyone confirm?
It's rise began after Salman Khan’s second innings started with the success of Wanted in 2009. The success of the movie translated into the success of the apparel brand.
The brand, which is present in 15 countries, is now increasing its footprint. Venturing now into USA, United Kingdom, Far East and Sri Lanka, Being Human is more of Khan’s swag on the shelves than being just another clothing brand. It was first launched in France and later ventured into Middle East, Nepal, Mauritius, Nepal and Fiji. The brand already has a global footprint of 500 point of sales in more than 15 countries.
“Alongside other countries we are also debuting in Canada at Holts wherein we will showcasing our collection through a pop up at Holts-Canada’s leading departmental store. Our goal has always been to be a global brand,” said Manish Mandhana, CEO, the Mandhana Retail Ventures.

I reiterate the word of caution once again: In these kinds of markets when even the experts and veteran traders find difficult to make money on a consistent basis, it would be near SUICIDAL for the NOVICES to try on their own. Remember, you are competing with the bests of the Financial World who have been in this space for more than 2-3 decades.. Hence beating these professionals on a regular basis to eke out profits from the Share Market is not that easy. I believe, Indian Stock Markets dotted by FPIs and Mutual Fund Gurus, has now become a place ONLY for highly professional traders and investors -- there is no chance for amateurs...in fact they have been weeded out long back.

#I have recommended a Large Cap Counter to the Premium Members yesterday night at around Rs.72-73, whose name will be disclosed tomorrow in this blog after 10 am in the morning.

The short term targets were also given to Premium Members on their Whatsapp. To know the name in advance, your should join the Special Information Group.
