Badla rates dip to 2 per cent

ENS ECONOMIC BUREAU  
MUMBAI, APR 24: Carry-forward rates on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) further dipped to a low of 2 per cent on April 24, before stabilising in the band of 6-8.1% on an average. Brokers attribute the fall in the badla rates to the steep decline in the carry forward positions on the exchange coupled with the rise in the short positions at select heavy weight counters. Of the 148 stocks offered for carry forward top 40 scrips accounted for a badla position of nearly Rs 961 crore, with the gross long positions on the exchange having dipped to below Rs 1,200 crore mark.

About 10 heavy weight stocks including HLL, ITC, ACC and Reliance attracted backwardation at the bourse. According to Mumbai-based brokers the backwardation or undha badla mirrors the short positions at these counters which has been on a steady rise during the past few sessions. "Despite the political uncertainties the FIIs have been net buyers on the exchanges during the week ended April 23. If the problem on the political front is sorted outwe should see a 200 points rally," said treasurer of BSE, Jayesh Sheth.
