Literature Review
Technical analysis might sound enticing on paper but how does it actually perform
in reality? In a pioneering paper,
6
Fama and Blume (1966) found no evidence of significant profits using a class of
technical trading rules in the stock market. Their finds were backed up by Van
Horne and Parker (1967, 1968) and Jensen and Benington (1970).However, more
recent work by Brock, Lakonishok and LeBaron (1992) and Sullivan,
Timmermann and White (1999) have refuted the idea. Other studies that found
positive profits using technical analysis include studies by Menkhoff and
Schlumberger (1995), Lee and Mathur (1996a, 1996b), Maillet and Michel (2000),
Lee et al. (2001) and Martin (2001). In the paper by Park and Irvin (2007) they
conclude that a majority of modern studies showed that technical trading strategies
generated positive economic profits.
Most of the papers on technical analysis have focused on daily data while only a
handful has taken an intraday approach. These papers include Curcio et al (1997),
Neely and Weller (2003), Sager and Taylor (2004), Melvin, Sager and Taylor
(2006) and Kozhan and Salmon (2010). The former two studies found no evidence
of positive excess returns after transaction costs are considered. Using tick by tick
data, Kozhan and Salmon found that excess profits exists for a trading rule in 2003
but these profits disappeared by 2008.
In addition, almost all studies on technical analysis in the foreign exchange market
have focused on the majors with very few studies done on emerging markets/Asian
currencies. Anne D. Martin (2009) found statistically significant profits using the
moving average rule on currencies of developing countries. However the rule does
not outperform a risk free strategy after taking into account the Sharpe ratio.
Gerben de Zwart et al. (2009) took a holistic approach by combining both
fundamental and technical information to generate trading signals for 21 emerging
currency markets and found economically and statistically significant positive riskadjusted returns. Pukthuanthong-Le, Levich and Thomas (2007) found that while
excess profits using trend following rules have disappeared over time,
opportunities still exists in the exotic currencies.
One of the more significant paper relating central bank intervention to that of
excess profits using technical analysis is that by LeBaron (1999). Using simple
moving averages rules on 2 currencies (Deutsche Mark and Yen against the Dollar,
he found significant profits of more than 5% annually. He then excluded days in
his data where official interventions by the central bank took place and found out
that the profits were reduced significantly. This study was complimented by that of
Saacke (2002) who supplemented the earlier study by including interventions by
the Deutsche Bundesbank and by adding more technical analysis rules. The results
are consistent with the findings by Szakmary and Mathur (1997), where they also
found a day of the week effect, where trading profits are generally higher on
Fridays and Mondays, consistent with conjectures in previous studies where news
concerning intervention tends to be revealed over weekends. Silber (1994) took a
slightly different approach in that he linked markets where technical analysis
proved profitable to markets where central bank intervention exists.
However, the above findings have been challenged by Neely (1998), who came up
with a pertinent point most of the observed profits occur concurrently with the
period where intervention took place. This implies that there could be a positive
correlation between intervention and positive profits but not necessarily causation,
especially if interventions tend to occur during days when markets are trending or
when volatility is excessive. In a follow up study, Neely (2002) found that
intervention reacts to the same strong short-run trends from which the trading rules
have recently profited using high frequency data.
In another study, Sapp (2004) found that market volatility is higher before
interventions which in itself can be a plausible explanation for interventions. It also
implies that the positive returns earned by technical analyst during this period are
in fact an adequate compensation for risk bearing.
Finally, there has been some evidence that trading rule profits has been declining
over time. LeBaron (2002) discovered that returns from MA trading rules declined
during the 1990s. Olson (2004) found out that post 1970 returns declined to zero
by the 1990s, using MA rule portfolios tested in successive five-year periods.
Similarly, Schulmeister (2008) found that even profits from the best of 1024
technical trading rules has been declining since the 1980s and Pukthuanthong-Le,
Levich and Thomas (2007) find that currencies for emerging markets tend to have
more profit opportunities than developed nations. Finally, in a conclusive study,
Neely, Weller and Ulrich (2009) conducted out of sample test on a variety of
previously studied rules and concluded that simple technical trading rules were
profitable up to the 1990s but as knowledge of the usefulness of these rules
became more and more widespread, profitability disappeared. The decline in the
profitability of trading rule returns has been partly attributed to the rise in
algorithmic trading. Kozhan and Salmon (2010) found that returns to a genetic
algorithm that proved profitable in 2003 disappeared by 2008 and attributed the
declining profitability to a rise in algorithmic trading over the same period. Their
findings are backed up by Chaboud et al.(2009) who reported that algorithmic
traders accounted for 60% of total trading volume in 2008 (whereas in 2003 they
were almost nonexistent) in two currency markets.

Financial Year'14
FY14 proved to be a challenging year. The uneven political climate led to
stagnant economical scenario thereby leading to lower infusion of
investments in to infrastructure and core industries also leading to lower
capital expenditure and less job creation. The inflation remained on the
higher side, thereby reducing the disposable income and leading to lower
consumer spends.
It was also the most challenging year for the Indian commercial vehicles
sector. India's cycle-prone commercial vehicle industry is not new to
downturns. Thus the vehicle financiers too faced enormous challenges
during the year.
Despite the overall slowdown in the economy, the demand for individual
home loans continued to remain strong. The demand for affordable housing
remained robust with increased growth coming from tier II and tier III cities.
In an endeavor to further support home loans, the Finance Act, 2013
provided a one-time benefit of additional interest deduction up to Rs 1 lakh
for first-time home buyers, provided the loan amount and property cost did
not exceed Rs 25 lakhs and Rs 40 lakhs respectively. This, coupled with the
other fiscal benefits available on home loans has helped reduce the effective
rate of interest payable on a home loan. Thus, overall, FY14 turned out to be
a strong year in terms of home loan disbursements for housing financiers.
19
Prospects
The economy has been seeing early signs of improvement in various
macroeconomic parameters. These events are expected to give further boost to the
economic growth of the nation.Factors like higher industrial growth and clearance
of stalled projects are likely to reduce cyclical pressure on major non-bank finance
companies from the second half of the next fiscal.While in FY15 delinquency level
for retail NBFCs could remain at elevated levels a possible pick-up in industrial
activity could result in some easing, although the same is expected only towards
the latter part of the year.The gross non-performing loan (gross NPL) ratio of
NBFCs to reach 4.2% by the end of March 2015 from 2.5% during the end of
fiscal year ended March 2013.
21
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
A method of evaluating a security that entails attempting to measure its intrinsic
value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and
quantitative factors. Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can
affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall
economy and industry conditions) and company-specific factors (Like financial
condition and management)
The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an
investor can compare with the security's current price, with the aim of figuring out
what sort of position to take with that security (underpriced = buyoverpriced=sell
or short)
This method of security analysis is considered to be the opposite of technical
analysis.

TECHNICALANALYSIS
Technical analysis is a financial term used to denote a security analysis discipline
for forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data,
primarily price and volume. Behavioral economics and quantitative analysis
incorporate technical analysis, which being an aspect of active management stands
in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory.
Technical analysis employs models and trading rules based on price and volume
transformations, such as the relative strength index, moving averages, regressions,
28
inter- market and intra-market price correlations, business cycles, stock market
cycles or, classically, through recognition of chart patterns.
Technical analysis stands in contrast to the fundamental analysis approach to
security and stock analysis. Technical analysis analyzes price, volume and other
market information, whereas fundamental analysis looks at the actual facts of the
company, market, currency or commodity. Most large brokerage, trading group, or
financial institutions will typically have both a technical analysis and fundamental
analysis team.
CONCEPTS
A. Resistance - a price level that may prompt a net increase of selling activity
B. Support - a price level that may prompt a net increase of buying activity
C. Breakout - the concept whereby prices forcefully penetrate an area of prior
support or resistance, usually, but not always, accompanied by an increase in
volume.
D. Trending - the phenomenon by which price movement tends to persist in one
direction for an extended period of time
E. Average true range - averaged daily trading range, adjusted for price gaps
F. Chart patterns - distinctive pattern created by the movement of security
prices on a chart
CHARTTYPES:
There are three main types of charts that are used by investors and
traders depending on the information that they are seeking and their individual skill
levels. The chart types are: the line chart, the bar chart, the candlestick chart.
29
A. LINE CHART :
The most basic of the three charts is the line charts because it represents
only the closing prices over a set period of time. The line is formed by
connecting the closing prices over the time frame. Line charts do not provide
visual information of the trading range for the individual points such as the
high, low and opening prices. However, the closing price is often considered
to be the most important price in stock data compared to the high and low for
the day and this is why it is the only value used in line charts.
BAR CHARTS :
The bar chart expands on the line chart by adding several more key pieces of
information to each data point. The chart is made up of a series of vertical
lines that represent each data point. This vertical line represents the high and low
for the trading period, along with the closing price. The close and open are
represented on the vertical line by a horizontal dash.
The opening price on a bar chart is illustrated by the dash that is located on the
left side of the vertical bar. Conversely, the close is represented by the dash on
the right. Generally, if the left dash (open) is lower than the right dash (close)
30
then the bar will be shaded black, representing an up period for the stock, which
means it has gained value. A bar that is colored red signals that the stock has gone
down in value over that period. When this is the case, the dash on the right (close)
is lower than the dash on the left (open).
B. CA
NDL
ESTICKCHARTS :
The candlestick chart is similar to a bar chart, but it differs in the way that it is
visually constructed. Similar to the bar chart, the candlestick also has a thin
vertical line showing the period's trading range. The difference comes in the
formation of a wide bar on the vertical line, which illustrates the difference
between the open and close. And, like bar charts, candlesticks also rely heavily
on the use of colors to explain what has happened during the trading period.
There are two color constructs for days up and one for days that the price
31
falls. When the price of the stock is up and closes above the opening trade,
the candlestick will usually be white or clear. If the stock has traded down for
the period, then the candlestick will usually be red or black, depending on the
site. If the stock's price has closed above the previous days close but below the
day's open, the candlestick will be black or filled with the color that is used to
indicate an up day.
CHART PATTERNS :
1. HEAD AND SHOULDERS :
This is one of the most popular and reliable chart patterns in technical analysis.
Head and shoulders is a reversal chart pattern that when formed, signals that
the security is likely to move against the previous trend Head and shoulders top
is a chart pattern that is formed at the high of an upward movement and signals
that the upward trend is about to end. Head and shoulders bottom, also known
32
as inverse head and shoulders is the lesser known of the two, but is used to
signal a reversal in a downtrend.
this type of pattern, with the span ranging from several months to more than a
year.
3.
This chart pattern is another well-known pattern that signals a trend reversal - it
is considered to be one of the most reliable and is commonly used. These
patterns are formed after a sustained trend and signal to chartists that the trend
is about to reverse. The pattern is created when a price movement tests
support or resistance levels twice and is unable to break through. This
pattern is often used to signal intermediate and long-term trend reversals.
4. TRIANGLES:
35
Triangles are some of the most well-known chart patterns used in technical
analysis. The three types of triangles, which vary in construct and implication,
are the symmetrical triangle, ascending and descending triangle. These chart
patterns are considered to last anywhere from a couple of weeks to several
months.
5.
in the same direction as the move that started the trend. The patterns are
generally thought to last from one to three weeks
6.
WEDGE:
The wedge chart pattern can be either a continuation or reversal pattern. It is
similar to a symmetrical triangle except that the wedge pattern slants in an
upward
or
shows a sideways movement. The other difference is that wedges tend to form
over longer periods, usually between three and six months.
7.
TR
IPL
E
38
8.
ROUNDING BOTTOM :
A rounding bottom, also referred to as a saucer bottom, is a long-term reversal
pattern that signals a shift from a downward trend to an upward trend. This
pattern is traditionally thought to last anywhere from several months to several
years.

Aluminium Sector
The most commercially mined aluminium ore is bauxite, as it has the highest
content of the base metal. The primary aluminium production process consists of
three stages. First is mining of bauxite, followed by refining of bauxite to alumina
and finally smelting of alumina to aluminium. India has the fifth largest bauxite
reserves with deposits of about 3 bntonnes or 5% of world deposits. Indias share
in world aluminium capacity rests at about 3%. Production of 1 tonne of
aluminium requires 2 tonnes of alumina while production of 1 tonne of alumina
requires 2 to 3 tonnes of bauxite. The aluminium production process can be
categorized into upstream and downstream activities. The upstream process
involves mining and refining while the downstream process involves smelting and
casting & fabricating. Downstream-fabricated products consist of rods, sheets,
extrusions and foils. Power is amongst the largest cost component in
manufacturing of aluminium, as the production involves electrolysis.
Consequently, manufacturers are located near cheap and abundant sources of
electricity such as hydroelectric power plants. Alternatively, they could set up
captive power plants, which is the pattern in India. Indian manufacturers are the
lowest cost producers of the base metal due to access to captive power, cheap
labour and proximity to abundant supply of raw material, i.e., bauxite. The Indian
aluminium
sector
is
characterised
by
large
integrated
players
like Hindalco and National Aluminium Company (Nalco). The other producers of
primary aluminium include Vedanta Resources Plc The principal user segment in
India for aluminium continues to be electrical & electronics sector followed by the
automotive & transportation, building & construction, packaging, consumer
durables, industrial and other applications including defence.
43
Prospects
China has been a marginally surplus producer of aluminium, while India
turned aluminium deficit in 2011 after being a marginal surplus producer for
many years. However, commissioning of new capacities will make India
surplus in aluminum in the near future.
Long term outlook for aluminium continues to remain strong with Global
aluminium demand expected to increase at a CAGR of 6%, with expected
growth of 9% till 2020. This growth rate, though strong, pales in comparison
with the stupendous rate at which Chinese aluminium consumption has
grown over the last decade.
The supply is expected to remain strong as several producers continued to
produce despite low LME. High physical premiums too worked as an
incentive to continue production. Global Aluminium production is expected
to grow at a rate matching production increase which will come from China
and Middle East. Production from both these regions is expected to grow at
around 8-9%.
