Ahead Of ECB, Nifty Faced Some Selling Pressure After Kuroda (BOJ) Poured "Water" On The Possibility Of Any "Helicopter Money" And Delay Of "GST Passage" To Aug

Nifty Fut (July) today closed around 0.75% down at 8519 after making an opening high of 8588 (8888 was not a real trade, but may be an act of "fat finger") and low of 8511.70.

Technical chart suggest that sustaining below 8500-8475* zone, NF may fall towards 8405*-8315 and 8195-8125* & 8000-7920* area in the near term.

On the other side, for any strength, NF need to trade above 8550 for an immediate target of 8590-8615* and 8665*-8725 & 8785-8875* in the short term.

Bottom line: 

Immediate positional range is 8405-8665 in NF and break of these range may give us movements of another 200-600 points in either direction.
 
Today morning Asian session started in a positive note after overnight close of US market around life time high on the back of good corporate earnings and some market speculation that BOJ is going to unleash a massive package of JPY 20 tln. 

Some of the market participants were also convinced that BOJ may take an extreme step like crediting directly to the consumers bank A/C to stimulate Japanese economy (i.e. so called Helicopter Money).

But, today after EU session opens, BOJ chief Kuroda virtually killed this "Helicopter Money" concept in a radio interview with BBC (as par reports). 

Now, at the time of this writing, as par Reuters report, BBC denied this interview terming it as "Old" in the month of June.

In any way, in the age of ongoing "comedy" by different central banks, volatility may be the central theme of the market and its a professional trader's paradise.

From the overall jawboning of the BOJ & other Japanese officials, including PM Abe, its clear that they are somehow attempting to manage the huge expectation of the coming stimulus by the market.

All eyes will be mow on the ECB meeting and Draghi jawboning. Although, Draghi this time is not expected to come with a "Bazooka", he may extend the time period of the current QQE/LTRO and lower the eligibility criteria of the EU bonds for purchase (as there is now severe "scarcity" of eligible bonds in the EU market). Draghi is also expected to through some lights on the Italian banking crisis & " sad incident of Brexit".

Indian market was cautious today after some reports that Govt is now pushing the GST bill for RS passage in the 1-st/2-nd week of Aug through "consensus"  and not by RS voting as expected earlier by the market. 

As this "consensus" is going on for the last decade, since GST was introduced by the UPA/Cong Govt, market may be little nervous this time amid growing political battles ("circus"). 

There is no dearth of political issues these days and from the overall scenario, a tough question may arise as "is BJP really serious to pass & implement the GST before 2019 election" ? If yes, then why its not going for a "joint session of parliament" to pass the bill on the basis of NDA'a combined strength in the LS & RS  instead of going to Cong repeatedly ?

On the Q1 earning side, there is no great surprise versus street estimates till now and some long unwinding may be also happening.

Banking stocks, specially PSBS and some selected private banks are in pressure today after Fitch noted that the current recapitalization plan of Rs.75000 cr by the Govt under "Indradhanush" plan is too little and Indian banking system (PSBS) may require at least $90 bln versus $7 bln (as par the Govt's commitments) to be able to stand on its own feet and Basel-III compliant.

As par some reports, total stressed assets (NPL) of the Indian banking system may reach towards Rs.11-15000 lac cr from the present level of 6-8 lac cr by FY:17-18 amid uneven economic recovery and high real rate of interest in India.

Kotak bank was down today modestly after it reported below/at par estimates asset quality and some other parameters (Q1FY17 result).

Axis bank was down by almost 4% ahead of its Q1 result tomorrow.

Ashoke Leyland rallied today modestly after it delivered above expected Q1 result.

Wockhardt slumped today in late session from its day high after reports of US FDA EIR in one of its plants.

ACC today rallied decently after CCEA approved its merger & restructuring plan with Ambuja Cement & Holcim India.
