Key support for NF: 10280-10240/10225

Key resistance for NF: 10380-10425

Key support for BNF: 25200-24950

Key resistance for BNF: 25700-25950

Trading Idea (Positional):

Technically, NF has to sustain over 10380 area for further rally towards 10425-10475 & 10535-10595 zone in the short term (under bullish case scenario). 

On the flip side, sustaining below 10360 area, NF may fall towards 10280-10240/10225 & 10190-10150 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Technically, BNF has to sustain over 25550 area for further rally towards 25700-25800 & 25950-26100 zone in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 25500 area, BNF may fall towards 25300/25200-24950 & 24800-24550 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

Indian market (Nifty Fut/India-50) today closed around 10348, edged down by around 25 points (-0.25%) after making an opening session high of 10379 and late day low of 10284; Nifty spot today closed marginally higher around 10322 (+0.12%), but lost 1% for the week amid worries over surging oil & Govt’s “war on black money/shell cos” (Paradise papers leak).

Indian market today opened around 10341, gap down by almost 32 points on negative global cues amid reports of one year delay in US corp tax cut drama and various confusions & uncertainties over implementation of the much awaited tax reforms. 

Market was also concerned about surging oil amid intensified Saudi purge on “corruption” and “games of thrones”. Market may be also concerned about increasing regulatory PMLA actions by the Govt on financial markets to prevent free flow of unaccounted money in the system.

Dual combination of higher oil & USD is going to be a big headwind for the Indian economy as the country imports almost 80% of its crude requirements from overseas; oil is now hovering around $65 (Brent) and if it continue to stay at these level for another few months because of various geo-political issues & Saudi factors, then high valuation multiple for the Indian market may be also reviewed.

Nifty Succumbed Below 10300 On Muted Global Cues & Worries About Huge Tax Revenue Loss Because Of GST Recalibration But Recovered After Less Slippage From SBI & GST Simplification Optimism:

Amid all these geo-political concerns, Indian market succumbed below 10300 mark today and scaled the day low of 10284 on worries about huge tax revenue loss & consequent adverse effect on the fiscal deficit because of recalibration of GST rates for several items of common uses from 28% to 18% or below. 

As par Bihar FM & some reports, cumulative revenue loss may be around Rs.0.20 tln, which may be significant, considering the overall mixed trajectory of GST revenue and slowing economy.

But soon after hitting the day low, which is also a vital technical support zone for Nifty-Fut, market covered their shorts significantly, keeping in mind surge in PSBS after below expected fresh slippages from SBI report card & the GST reform meet and closed edged down from deep loses.

After market hours, Govt announced various GST simplifications & rate calibrations as highly expected. Although this is certainly an encouraging step, Govt should further modify GST to only a single rate in future keeping in mind standard RNR of 18% as the present system of 6 slabs (rates) for various products even of the same category may be becoming a nightmare of a small trader/SMES for necessary compliance & accounting cost thereof apart from the fact of multiple return filling every month.

Govt has also promised to make more rate recalibrations to aid consumer spending amid slowing economy and may be also thinking about two standard GST rates in future. Although it’s very encouraging, Govt should have done all these “trial & error” recalibrations before launching GST hurriedly as such frequent rate changes may cause more post-GST disruptions because of de-stockings. Both traders & manufacturers will tend to keep minimal stock because of frequent rate adjustments and issues of ITC.

Thus, although ongoing GST recalibrations may be good for the overall economy to some extent, it may not be good for the H2FY18 earnings because of another wave of high probable de-stocking at trade levels. 

Also, fitments of various goods of common uses (non-sin) like cement, AC, Refrigerator, automobiles etc in the high 28% tax slabs may be very disappointing and will not support the incremental consumer spending, which is vital for any economy.

Even the 18% RNR GST rate of India may be much higher compared to the DM/EM and negative for price stability; Indian core inflation is still sticky around 4.5%, which may be very high, if we compare it globally or even with China.

Thus, Govt irrespective of states & centre and all political colours are only interested to maintain their revenue under GST as par their previous trends (VAT+ED) and not ready to sacrifice it for the sake of simple GST regime with moderate inflation & price stability. Govt has to look at this angle and should take a middle path as both revenue & price stability is important for the economy; otherwise consumer spending will not pick up.

Govt should also bring all types of products including Petrol & diesel in the GST regime with a reasonable tax slab like 28%; although it looks very tough at this stage because of revenue implications & fiscal deficit concern, this Petro reform is long overdue for the economy, which is a legacy issue.

Meanwhile, Indian IIP for Sep flashed muted at 3.8% vs EST 4.1%; prior 4.5%-R; it may be another indication of a slower economy due to DeMo & GST blues after temporary uptick in Aug because of festival seasons and some revival from Pre-GST disruptions in June-July.

Today Nifty was helped by SBI (lower slippages on QOQ basis despite overall subdued report card), L&T (earnings optimism ahead of result), ICICI Bank (boosted by SBI NPL improvement), HUL/ITC (GST rate recalibration benefits to several FMCG items of daily use), M&M (upbeat report card), Infy, Ultratech Cement, Power Grid, Bajaj Auto & Axis Bank (fresh fund raising & stake sale to Bain capital); together these cos has contributed almost 160 points and out these, SBI alone contributed almost 43 points.

Nifty was dragged by Tata Motors (muted JLR commentary), RIL, Auro Pharma, HDFC, HPCL, Bosch (muted earnings), TCS, HDFC Bank, Kotak Bank & BPCL by around 145 points altogether.

Overall, today Indian market was supported by Banks/PSBS & Financials, FMCG, Media, metals, consumptions, while it was dragged by automakers, techs, pharma/healthcare, commodities, energies, & PSUS.
