Time to Make Money in AC Stocks?

The heat is dreadful these days. It's almost unbearable. But you can always rely on capitalists to try to make money in any situation, even the unfortunate ones. And so they're at it again. This time with stocks of companies that make room air conditioners (ACs). The heat waves and rising temperatures of summer have sent these stocks soaring. They've gained up to 24% in just one short month. Investors seem to be betting on these companies doing brisk business: But there's a problem. Some summers will be good, some bad. This one is turning out to be hot as hell, and thus good for AC companies. Last year, it rained early, and thus was a bad season for them. This surely does not mean that investors mark up or down their estimated value of the business. Because in the larger scheme of things, a good summer is as much a part of the air conditioning business as is a bad one. Here is B Thiagarajan, executive director and president of Blue Star's

For the week, the BSE Sensex was up by 0.82% and the NSE Nifty was up by 0.62%. During the week, India's third-largest software services exporter, Wipro Ltd, announced its results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2015-16.The index opened the week with a gap but has failed to make any headwind after that. It ended the session on a very flattish note every day this week. This indicates that the index may be losing out on momentum as the resistance at 8,000 kicks in.  3 Day SMA : 7908 & 15 Day SMA 7742 . Nifty Prediction for Week  (April 25, 2016 – April 29, 2016): Support for the index lies in the zone of 7850 where 200 Daily SMA is lying.

Nifty weekly performance  (April 11, 2016 – April 13, 2016): Indian markets flourished in the green during the week. For the entire week, the BSE Sensex was up by 3.8% and the NSE Nifty was up by 3.9%.  The bulls snapped back into the ring and have pushed the bears in a corner after almost a 300-point rally in the Nifty in just 3 days. The index finally closed above the 7,800 levels with good volumes and are looking very strong at this point of time. The above surge came on the back of a slew of good news - forecast of an above-normal monsoon, dipping consumer price inflation and a rising Index of Industrial Production (IIP).  Nifty Prediction for Week  (April 18, 2016 – April 22, 2016): Support for the index lies in the zone of 7500 to 7550 from where the index has broken down after making the double bottom pattern and 100 Daily SMA is lying. If the index manages to close below these levels then the index can drift to the levels of 7400 where the index has opened with t

Nifty weekly performance  (April 04, 2016 – April 08, 2016)): Indian indices ended the week on a negative note. For the entire week, the BSE Sensex was down by 2.4% and the NSE Nifty was down by 2%.  Bank Nifty nosedived 3.4% as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut its repo rate by 0.25%.  The index lost its momentum as it hit multiple resistances. It has closed below the 13 EMA for the first time after a month. It has also closed below the 7,600 level. It seems that the index is now trapped in a broad range of 7,800 to 7,400. Trading activity is likely to remain lackluster next week as traders will want to avoid taking any major bets ahead of the long weekend.

Investors Should Double Gold Allocations Amid Negative Interest Rates

Nifty weekly performance  (March 28, 2016 – April 1, 2016): Indian indices ended the week on a negative note. For the entire week, the BSE Sensex was down by 0.3% and the NSE Nifty was down by 0.1%. On Friday, the Indian equity markets finished their day on a weak note, despite markets correcting from their lows in the second half. At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex closed lower by about 72 points, while the NSE Nifty finished lower by 25 points. The index started the weak on a jittery note but held above 7,600 and ended the week on a flattish note. And until it moves decisively out of this range, the choppy action will continue.  Traders should take cues from the RBI policy meeting scheduled early next week.   Nifty Prediction for Week  (March 21, 2016 – March 23, 2016): Support for the index lies in the zone of 7500 to 7600 from where the index has broken down after making the double bottom pattern and 100 Daily SMA is lying.
