Nifty May Be Continue Under Pressure Amid Tepid Global Cues After Yellen’s Hawkish Stance And Domestic Concern Over Slowing Economy As A Result Of Clamp Down On “Parallel Economy” & Chaos Of Demonetization; Watch 8035-7925 & 8155-8225 In NF Today



Market Mantra: 18/11/2016 (08:30)

As par early SGX indication, Nifty Fut (Nov) may open around 8080 (-20 points) following negative global cues after Yellen “almost confirmed” about Dec’16 rate hike by Fed and also hinted about gradual rate hike next year (most probably 2 rate hikes in 2017) in order to ensure that Fed does not fall behind the curve. But, she also cautioned about excessive fiscal stimulus by “Trumponomics”, which may cause excessive “heat” (inflation) in the economy. 

Thus, overall stance of Yellen in yesterday’s testimony is quite hawkish and USD is gaining strength across the board coupled with EU political risk, dovish stance of ECB & BOJ. Only GBP is showing decent strength against USD as a result of UK’s upbeat retail sales data yesterday.

Another factor is that yesterday’s US economic data was quite good beating the consensus and coupled with that China’s effort to control the “hot” property market and restructuring the steel production overcapacity has resulted in some dips in commodity currencies. Oil is also under pressure after OPEC squabbling and report that the proposed cut/freeze in production may be valid for only six months. 

As a result, dollar index (DXY) is now at multiyear high around 101.35 eyeing 101.75-102.50 levels in the days ahead and in that scenario, USDINR may also target 69-71 levels, which may also cause some panic among FPI(s) and fund out flow may accelerate.

Domestically, after plunge in market sentiment as a result of NAMO’s “war on black money”, demonetization and ongoing political battle; Govt is perusing various incremental reforms in an effort to stabilize the market. 

Indian Govt yesterday eased the corporate bond investments rules by the FPI(s) in an effort to attract more investments in the country. But, this may be also interpreted as a “panic reaction” from the Govt and the sentiment is so gloomy on the concern of India’s great story of consumption because of sudden “surgical strike” on the “black/unaccounted money”, this initiative at this juncture which was a part of FY-17 budget may be too late & too little.

Technically, NF need to sustain above 8035 zone today; otherwise it may further fall towards 8000/7975-7925/7890* & 7755-7675 area for the day (bear case scenario).

For any strength, NF need to stay above 8125 area for further bounce towards 8155/8175*-8210/8225 & 8265*/8300-8355/8395 zone for the day (bullish case scenario).

Similarly, BNF (LTP: 19213), need to sustain above 19150 zone; otherwise it may fall towards 19040-18950* & 18850*-18700 area for the day (bear case scenario).

For any strength, NF need to stay above 19400 area for further rally towards 19500-19650 & 19850-19950* zone for the day (bullish case scenario).
