Nifty Closed Flat Despite Dovish FOMC Minutes And Better Monsoon Amid Surprise Removal Of Jayant Sinha As Dy FM

Nifty Fut (July) closed at 8369.30 after making a low of 8330.05 and high of 8392.

Technically, sustaining below 8325-8300 zone, NF will fall to 8240-8180 and 8025-7920 area.

For any strength, NF need to stay above 8395-8415 zone for 8450-8510 and 8575-8685 territory.

Yesterday, GBPUSD broke 1.30 in the early Asian & EU session amid suspension of some REIT funds redemption in UK and fear of property prices slump & overall uncertainty of the ongoing "Brexit drama". As a result, investors were running to the safety of Yen, USD & Gold. 

Global market recovered in the late US session (evening) yesterday after better ISM data & dovish FOMC minutes, which showed that FED has literally decided to stay in side-line in the foreseeable future even before "Brexit" referendum. But the dovish FED tone may be also an indication of lack of confidence on their part on US & Global economy and put more uncertainty.

In the morning session today, there was initial selling in AU due to S&P downgrade for its ongoing political uncertainty. But lack of positive yield in other G-10 universe has forced the yield hungry investors to keep the present "carry trade" and AU quickly recovered.

Yesterday, GBPUSD broke 1.30 amid suspension of some REIT funds redemption in UK and fear of property prices slump & overall uncertainty of the ongoing "Brexit drama". As a result, investors were running to the safety of Yen, USD & Gold.  

In US, ADP Employment number just published was above expectation and that may be undermining the May NFP report as "one off" item, which is positive for USDJPY & "risk assets" (EQ). All eyes will be on the June NFP report tomorrow to have a glimpse of the world's largest economy (US).

Domestically, India has some surprise element in the latest cabinet reshuffle day before yesterday night, in which Jayant Sinha was removed as DY FM. The finance ministry now has two new deputies to "assist" the present FM (Arun Jetley). Clearly, the overall cabinet reshuffle may be indicating more influence on the part of RSS aimed at next series of state elections and an attempt to clip the wings of the present FM, who is the most influential senior minister in the NAMO cabinet today. This (internal politics of BJP), may be negative for our market sentiment, if this speculation is proved to be true in the coming months.

Incidentally, Jayant Sinha, being a finance professional was a perfect match for the FM. 

Removal of Sinha, may put question on the future banking reform initiative by the Govt. 

Sinha might pay the price for his father's criticism of the BJP Govt, but this question of "intolerance" may come again as this was also one of the prime reason for the "Rexit".

Apart from passage of GST in the forthcoming Parliament session, all eyes will be on the CPI and  Q1FYQ7 earning session in the coming weeks.

Today, IT stocks adversely affected due to fear of "Real Brexit" and overall environment of uncertainty. Tata Steel burnt the fear of "Brexit" today as some doubts emerge for its UK asset sales and pension fund liability. Tata Motors may also be affected due to this in the coming days.

Telecom stocks may come under some renewed pressure in the days ahead with the new spectrum auction, which may be quite expensive amid their stressed balance sheets and huge debts.

Lupin today rallied quite smartly by nearly 8% after its Goa Plant received US FDA clearance (preliminary). Incidentally, this plant accounted for nearly 50% of the US export.
