Pre Session Market - June 9, 2008

he Indian Market is expected to open lower on the back of unfavorable cues from the US market like the surge in global crude oil price and growth in US unemployment rate. On Friday, the Indian market closed on the back foot due the selling pressure led by the investor’s cautious behavior. The market opened with the positive attitude but was not able to sustain the momentum due to the fears of rising inflation. It remains volatile throughout the trading session and closed in red. From the sectoral front, only Auto stocks were in limelight as most buying was witnessed from this basket while metal, reality stocks were the main sufferers. The BSE Sensex closed lower by 197.54 points at 15,572.18 and NSE Nifty fell by 49.15 points to close at 4,627.80. We expect that the market may remain cautious during the trading session.

On the back of rising inflation and record oil prices, central oil bonds may reach to a new high today. On Friday 10-year benchmark bond yield ended at 8.23% and also reached to its highest level of 8.24% during the trading which is highest level since June 2007.

On Friday, the US market closed in deep red due to surge in crude oil prices above $138 and also due to increase in the US unemployment rates. The unemployment rates in May rose to 5.5%, which is the biggest increase in US since 1986. The US Labor Department said non-farm payrolls fell by 49,000 in May from April. That was in line with expectations but the department revised its April figure to show a drop of 28,000 rather than the 20,000 estimate it made last month.
