The Judgment Day Is Here... !
( Ambani Vs Ambani )
The Final judgment on the RIL- RNRL gas dispute is expected to be pronounced by the Supreme Court on Friday, the 7th of May, 2010. All traders may remember that the Mumbai High Court had favored the Anil Ambani managed RNRL earlier. In expectation of an adverse judgment, the Reliance stock has not been performing for some time and is presently in the correction mode. As the Reliance stock has the maximum weight in the Nifty index, it has the power to move the market single - handedly. A five percent move in either way may be expected in the Reliance stock in accordance with the judgment. The RNRL stock may see volatility which may be as high as 20 to 40 %. Other Anil Ambani group stocks like RPOWER and RELINFRA may also see higher volatility.
