Nifty May Open & Stay Lower Amid Tepid Global Cues As Dow-20k Remains Elusive On The Back Of YE Profit Taking; Domestically, All Eyes Will Be On Today’s GST Meeting & Ongoing Demonetization Saga, Which May Be Taking The Shape Of A Future “Political Battle” Eyeing 2019 General Election



Market Mantra: 22/12/2016 (08:30)

Watch 8040-7980 & 8135-8210 Zone In Nifty Fut (Dec), Which May Open Around 8050 Today

Banks may be under pressure for not only demonetization related woes and expected dip in NIM; but also from the proposed change in accounting norms (Ind-AS-109) to be effective from April’18, which may hurt its earnings significantly for the short term due to computation of “expected credit loses” (ECL).

Hawkish RBI minutes may also drag the sentiment of the domestic market.

As par early SGX indication, Nifty Fut (Dec) may open around 8050 (-27 points), slightly in negative note following tepid global cues and some fall in oil. Although, US existing home sales came yesterday was better than expected, it failed to yield any significant positive impact on USD and some yearend profit booking may cause the Dow to fall by some extent (-0.19%) as the “much awaited historical milestone” of 20k remains elusive by some small distance.

Oil was also under pressure after larger than expected inventory drawdown. China market is also under some pressure as concern over bond market & some defaults continues.

Globally, all eyes will be the bailout effort of Monte Paschi & other Italian banks by the Govt there, as private investors are apparently not so much interested as of now. Global market will also keenly watch today’s last data deluge before the Christmas holidays (US GDP, Personal Consumption, Core PCE & Durable goods order) to have an assessment about the core strength of the US economy to withstand successive rate hikes next year (3 dot plots as par Fed so far).

Back to home, all eyes will be on the demonetization & remonetization fiasco, ongoing political battle, eyeing for not only the 2017 series of state elections, but also the 2019 general election.; if demonetization is successful, then there may be no “concerns” for NAMO in 2019 election; but if it fails and bring more chaos, unemployment and economic slowdown, then RAGA & Co may have the last laugh.

All eyes will be also on the GST meeting today for any consensus; but hope is very low for an April’17 roll out of the GST this time; may be the expectation will be shifted towards Sep’17 now.  

Hints for actionable trade ideas:

Technically, NF has to sustain over 8040 zone today; otherwise it may further fall towards 7980-7915* & 7875*-7835 area for the day (under bear case scenario).

On the other side, sustaining above 8075 area, NF may rebound towards 8105/8135*-8185 & 8210*-8275 zone for the day (under bullish case scenario).

Similarly, BNF (LTP: 18095) has to sustain over 17980 area today; otherwise it may further fall towards 17900*-17800 & 17730-17600* zone for the day (bear case scenario).

On the other side, sustaining above 18250 zone, BNF may further rebound towards 18400*-18500 & 18650*-18850 area for the day (bullish case scenario).
