Key resistance for NF: 10505-10575

Key support for BNF: 25225-25050

Key resistance for BNF: 25575-25775

Trading Idea (Positional):

Technically, NF has to sustain over 10525 area for further rally towards 10575-10625 & 10675-10825 zone in the short term (under bullish case scenario). 

On the flip side, sustaining below 10505 area, NF may fall towards 10450-10390 & 10330-10290 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Technically, BNF has to sustain over 25625 area for further rally towards 25775-25935 & 26100-26325 zone in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 25575 area, BNF may fall towards 25400-25225 & 25050-24850 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

Indian market (Nifty Fut/India-50) today closed around 10452, dropped by almost 25 points (-0.25%) after making an opening session high of 10473 and mid-session low of 10433 as market basically consolidated yesterday’s “ease of doing business” boost rally.

Indian market today opened around 10459, edged down by around 14 points tracking subdued global/Asian cues as USD goes lower on Fed chair & US tax cut suspense despite a fairly “hawkish hold” stance from Fed yesterday; as a Dec’17 rate hike by Fed is almost discounted, market may be now concerned over credibility of Fed’s 2018 dot-lots (3 hikes) under new leadership.

A lower USD is not good for export savvy Asian & EU market and also Nifty index as almost 60% OF Nifty earnings come from export. But a lower USD may be good for overall Indian economy, being import oriented. 

Again, at the same time, Brent Oil, hovering around $60 with a hawkish Fed going for dual QT, may be also not good for Indian economy & CAD/Fiscal deficit equation; combination of higher USD & higher oil may be a major headwind for Indian economy & the market in the coming days. China bond market concern is also affecting the overall global/Asian market sentiment.

Although Indian Mfg PMI for Oct, which was released yesterday was quite muted at 50.3, just above the boom/bust line of 50 and Oct auto sales figures were also subdued below the usual double digit growth, market largely ignored that yesterday amid euphoria of WB booster of “ease of doing business”, an alternative mechanism of PSBS consolidation and a global goldilocks rally.

Both the data (PMI & Auto sales) may be indicating about GST & DeMo blues and some other structural issues on the Indian economy, which is slowing down. Also, overall Q2 earnings so far may be termed as mixed/muted and may not be justifying the exorbitant PE (TTM) of Nifty now stands above 26 against an average value of 15-20.

Today Nifty was supported by ICICI Bank, Auro Pharma (US FDA approval), Sun Pharma, TCS, HDFC, Power Grid (earnings optimism ahead of result), HCL Tech, Adani Ports, Lupin & DRL by cumulatively around 25 points.

Nifty was dragged by ITC, SBI, RIL, Bharti Infratel, TechM (subdued report card), HUL, Hero Motors, Tata Motors (muted auto sales nos), ONGC, & VEDL by around 32 points altogether.

Overall, today Indian market was boosted by healthcare/pharmaceuticals on US FDA optimism after it clears Divis Lab from import alert and given a spate of product approvals; Trump’s deregulation move may be working here!! Apart from healthcare, market was also supported by Financials, selected techs & property developers. Divis Labs rallied by over 17% on lifting of import alert from one of his factory, which may contribute only 5% of its US revenue!!

Market was dragged by PSBS on concern about the whole mechanism of recaps & consolidation; also Govt’s thinking of merging weaker PSBS with relatively stronger ones may be negative for the later; recent merger of SBI with its associates is an example on strain of consolidated B/S.

Apart from banks, market was further dragged by automobiles (muted Oct sales figure), FMCG (muted volume amid GST disruptions), media, and metals to some extent on China concern.

Meanwhile, Crude Oil (WTI) is now trading around 54.30, edged up by around 0.05% after making an overnight low of 53.88 on less than expected crude drawdown report from EIA contrary to earlier report of API; it has earlier made a multi month high of 55.20.

As noted yesterday, technically, next hurdle for WTI is around 55.25 zone and only sustaining above that, 57.70-59.05 area may be easily visible; otherwise it will come down; near term support is now around 53.70-52.70 zone.
