For 01/11/2017: 

Key support for NF: 10330-10280

Key resistance for NF: 10450-10505

Key support for BNF: 24800-24600

Key resistance for BNF: 25150-25250

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 10425-10405 area, NF may fall towards 10330-10280 & 10195-10150 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Technically, BNF has to sustain over 25150 area for further rally towards 25250-25500 & 25600 zone in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 25100 area, BNF may fall towards 24800-24600 & 24450-24300 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

Indian market (Nifty Fut/India-50) today closed around 10372, edged down by almost 17 points (-0.16%) after making an opening session high of 10389 and mid-session low of 10350 in a day of consolidation after making a fresh Nifty high of 10384 yesterday on hopes of earnings recovery coupled with PSBS recap & consolidation optimism.

But Q2 earnings so far are broadly mixed and valuations are already quite high. Also market may be concerned over PSBS recaps mechanism as it may take significant time with various caveats and banks may also has to take huge hair cuts on NPA settlement

Another factor is that dual combination of a higher USD & higher Oil may be not good for import oriented Indian economy (imported inflation); Govt’s CAD & Fiscal deficit equation may face some headwinds as Govt may be forced to cut additional ED imposed previously on gasoline to keep the retail price at current levels to contain spiraling inflation, which is already at elevated levels.

As par latest data, India fiscal deficit reached almost 91.3% to Rs.4.98 tln vs 4.48 (YOY) in Apr-Sep’17 against BE of Rs.5.47 tln. Although fiscal deficit may have improved from around 96% (Rs.5.25 tln) mapped in Aug’17, but it’s still significantly higher at this point of time and Govt has to take a final call in Dec’17 for the question of fiscal discipline amid talks of fiscal stimulus to dig out the economy from its deepest slump since 2014.

Indian market today opened around 10375, edged down amid muted global cues on concerns about gradual cut in US corporate tax coupled with renewed US political jitters and muted China Mfg PMI. But domestic concern for stretched valuations and lack of any meaningful domestic triggers may have capped any gain today despite upbeat EU cues as EUR dropped a bit on hopes of Catalan peace and muted inflation.

Today Nifty was supported by Axis Bank (buzz of 5% stake buy-Bain Capital/PE fund), Bharti Infratel (renewed optimism about tower deal), ONGC (higher oil), HCL Tech, Bharti Airtel (earnings optimism & deleveraging) by around 22 points cumulatively.

Nifty was dragged by Infy (ex dividend/buy back), VEDL (lower metal due to soft China Mfg PMI), Tata Motors (Muted response to VRS), SBI (MCLR/lending rate cut by 0.05%) and L&T by around 27 points altogether.

Overall, Indian market was today helped by property developers/reality, private banks, FMCG and mixed financials, while it was dragged by PSBS, automobiles, metals, techs, media stocks; Nifty gained by around 5.6% for Oct’17, its biggest monthly gain after Govt proposal of PSBS recaps through special bonds.

India jumped 30 points to 100 in World Bank ranking of ease of doing business on various structural reforms, especially IBC act; enforcing contracts, tax compliances, although this is certainly a great achievement, ground reality may be different due to over regulations in various fields such as GST, property transactions and starting a business.
