Market overview by IndiaNivesh

Post yesterday’s correction, Nifty was forced to sneak below the placements of 50 DEMA & 100 DEMA. Now, as displayed on the daily chart, index is hovering just above the placements of 200 DEMA. At the same time, the support coincides with 78.6% Fibonacci retracement levels of previous rally and also there is a trend line support there. Thus, 10680 - 10660 could act as a strong support in the upcoming session. A breach of the same would extend the selling towards 10630. 
 
On the upside, bullish sentiment would now resume 10800 mark. Traders can add aggressive long in index futures once Nifty starts trading above the mentioned resistance level. From the stock front, one should continue to stay hedge and avoid overleveraged positions since the heavy weights are yet to correct.

Buy Coal India Ltd. for 40% gains, advises Narnolia Financial Advisors

Coal India delivered strong set of numbers with revenue at Rs 25046cr (up 15% YoY and 14% QoQ) on the back of significantly higher e-auction realisation at Rs 2847/t (up 42% YoY and 10% QoQ) and strong FSA realisation at Rs.1334/t (up 13% YoY and 2% QoQ). Off take volume came in at 153.8mt (up 1% YoY and 12% QoQ). Share of FSA increased to 88% of total off take in 3QFY19 (vs.80% in 3QFY18 and 85% in 2QFY19) and e-auction share fell to 10% (vs.17% in 3QFY18 and 13% in 2QFY19) but was better than expected. Coal dispatch to power sector increased to 126mt (up 3% YoY, 14% QoQ), however better than expected e-auction volume as well as realisation helped the company to robust performance. Going ahead investors believe company will post strong set of number in 4QFY19 as well, driven by strong realization in both FSA and e-auction. Furthermore, improvement in coal inventory level at power plants from 6 days at the end of Oct’18 to 12 days in Jan’19 would leave more room for improving e-auction volume.

Asian stocks fell on weak US retail data

Asian stocks fell on Friday after weak US retail sales figures raised fresh doubts about the strength of the world`s largest economy, offsetting optimism towards trade talks between the United States and China.

Also casting a shadow, the White House said US President Donald Trump will declare a national emergency to try to obtain funds for his promised US-Mexico border wall, drawing immediate criticism from Democrats.

A wait-and watch mood ensued for markets ahead of the results of a meeting on Friday between the Trump administration's top two negotiators and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.

There has been no decision to extend a March 1 deadline for a deal, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Thursday.

MSCI`s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, which had scaled a four-month high midweek on factors including expectations for reduced US-China trade tensions, was down 0.8 per cent.

The Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.6 per cent. Japan's Nikkei dropped 1.2 per cent and South Korea's KOSPI shed 1.5 per cent.

In the United States, the S&P 500 lost about 0.3 per cent on Thursday, a day after it hit a 10-week high on rising hopes that Washington and Beijing could reach a trade deal.
