Nifty Set To Start The Nov Series In Upbeat Mood Tracking Positive Global Cues Amid Lower EUR After Dovish QE Tapering By ECB & Renewed Hopes Of A Hawkish Fed Leadership Coupled With US Tax Reform Optimism



Indian Market May Continue To Focus On PSBS Recaps Mechanism & Earnings Trajectory; Yes Bank NPA Divergence Fiasco May Cause A Sense Of Trust Deficit On The Whole Pvt Bank Space & The Sector May Be Rerated

Market Mantra: 27/10/2017 (09:00)

SGX-NF: 10395 (+38)

For the Day: updated at 09:10

Key support for NF: 10325-10270

Key resistance for NF: 10450-10505

Key support for BNF: 24800-24600

Key resistance for BNF: 25250-25500

Trading Idea (Positional):

Technically, NF has to sustain over 10450 area for further rally towards 10505-10575 & 10625-10675 zone in the short term (under bullish case scenario). 

On the flip side, sustaining below 10425 area, NF may fall towards 10375-10325 & 10270-10195 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Technically, BNF has to sustain over 25250 area for further rally towards 25500-25600 & 25775-25950 area in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 25200 area, BNF may fall towards 25000-24800 & 24600-24450 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

As par early SGX indication, Nifty Fut (Nov) may open around 10395, up by almost 38 points tracking positive global cues amid lower EUR after dovish QE tapering by ECB yesterday as highly expected coupled with renewed hopes for a hawkish Fed leadership and US tax reform optimism; USD is higher and a dual combination of lower EUR & higher USD is good for export savvy Asian & EU markets.

EU markets were also upbeat yesterday on lower EUR after dovish QE tapering scripts by Draghi coupled with signs of truce in Catalonian tensions; but that may be short lived as Catalan leaders has decided not to go for an immediate snap election in lieu of separation; Barclays was also in pressure for muted earnings. FTSE-100 has also gained on lower GDP amid Brexit uncertainty.

Also, EUR may bounce back later today on another trial balloon floated by ECB that after Sep’18, they may end the QE purchase (APP) completely by a short tapering from Oct’18 to Dec’18 @20/10/5 BLN EUR/pm, subjected to satisfactory inflation & other economic conditions.

USD was also higher amid reports that Trump may have finally chosen two candidates for Fed (Taylor & Powell) and Yellen, Warsh, & Cohn are completely out of race now. Although it’s not final as Trump is changing his mind almost every day, a possible dual combination of Powell (Fed Chair) & Taylor (VC) may be more hawkish than Yellen/Warsh. Market is expecting that Trump will end this Fed suspense before 3rd Nov, his long Asia trip.

USD got further boost yesterday, after US house clears a step (budget bill) towards the tax proposal by a narrow margin, paving the way for the US senate to pass easily the tax reform bill later with a simple majority, instead of 60 votes; now the text of the draft bill will be released on 1st Nov by a senate committee.

Overnight, US market closed mixed on earnings push & renewed optimism about US tax reform legislation, a dovish QE tapering by Draghi and guidance boost by Twitter & Du-Pont. But higher USD/US bond yields, hovering above 2.46%, may have also affected the overall US market sentiment yesterday along with some Biotechs & Healthcare names due to renewed concern of Amazon led disruptions & some muted report cards. 

There were some reports that Amazon has got distribution licenses for pharma products in a number of US districts. Also, Trump’s tough stance regarding increasing drug addiction in US (opioid crisis) and declaring the same as “national public health emergency” has affected the overall healthcare sector yesterday. 

DJ-30 closed almost 0.31% higher, S&P-500 edged up by almost 0.13% to close at around 2560, while NQ-100 edged down by 0.11%. Market may be also concerned for earnings trajectory amid mixed Q3 tend so far and already stretched valuations; so far EPS growth in Q3 is around 5.3% vs estimate of 8%; prior: double digit growths in Q1/Q2.

US stock future (SPX-500) is now trading around 2562, almost flat, after post market earnings boost by tech trifecta (Amazon, Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet).

Back to home, Indian market (Nifty Fut/India-50) is now trading around 10350, edged down by around 0.10% after opening around 10371; market is basically consolidating ahead of EU market opening, which may open around +0.3% in DAX-30 on lower EUR & Catalan truce optimism.

Market may focus on PSBS recaps mechanism as the whole process may be quite complex and will take significant time to take a complete shape and its positive effect on economic activity & eventually on earnings of the PSBS, if any.

Market may also focus of deluge of Q2 earnings; buy repeated NPA divergence issue of Yes Bank & certain other private banks may also be creating an environment of trust deficit over their accounting practices and tendency to hide the potential NPA under carpet. Thus, high valuation multiple of the private banks may be also relooked by the market.
