Nifty Set To Trade Almost Flat Amid Mixed Global Cues Ahead Of GDP & PMI



Market Mantra: 29/11/2017 (09:00)

SGX-NF: 10395 (+22)

For the Day: updated:12:30

Key support for NF: 10380/10325-10280/10255

Key resistance for NF: 10425-10475/10510

Key support for BNF: 25700-25400

Key resistance for BNF: 26000-26100

Trading Idea (Positional):

Technically, Nifty Fut-Nov (NF) has to sustain over 10475 area for further rally towards 10510/10540-10585 & 10635-10695 zone in the short term (under bullish case scenario). 

On the flip side, sustaining below 10455-10425 area, NF may fall towards 10380-10325 & 10280/10255-  10190 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Technically, Bank Nifty-Fut (BNF) has to sustain over 26000 area for further rally towards 26100-26325 & 26400-26675 zone in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 25950-25875 area, BNF may fall towards 25700-25400 & 25200-24950 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

As par early SGX indication, Nifty Fut (Nov) may open around 10395, edged up by almost 22 points on mixed global/Asian cues. Overnight US market soared on US Tax reform optimism after Senate Budget Comm passed the RNC Senate tax plan narrowly (12-11) to the floor for voting tomorrow.. USD was under pressure despite upbeat US economic data yesterday on dovish rhetoric by Powell, who will continue the legacy of Yellen; a lower USD is good for US stock market.

A highly anticipated NK ICBM launch yesterday night failed to do any great risk-aversion; market dropped on news of NK missile in the air, but soon recovered when it landed in the sea near Japan. But China & HK market again came into pressure today on deleveraging concern and keeping the overall regional sentiment depressed.

In the morning Asian session, NK authority has officially announced the successful ICBM launched yesterday, claiming it “most powerful” and capable to hit US main-lands; but It’s intended for self defense and not to attack any nation unless it do not infringe NK’s sovereignty. Thus, overall tone of NK as well as US is very measured now.

USD is almost flat on NK ICBM, dovish Powell, hopes of US Tax reform squabbling and an imminent threat of US Govt shut down yearly drama; although market is quite confident about Dec’17 rate hike, the credibility of Fed’s 2018 dot-plots of 3-4 rate hikes may in doubt.

US market yesterday got boost also from ant-dumping stance from Trump & Co on Chinese aluminum imports into the country and thus scrips like Alcoa & Century Aluminum soared; it was also helped by financials on hopes of Tax reform. DJ-30 soared by almost 1.1%; S&P-500 surged by almost 1% to close around 2627, while NQ-100 rose by around 0.5%; 10 of 11 sectors closed in green. A solid consumer confidence data may have also helped the market yesterday.

Overall, US market is now being supported by solid earnings, expanding US economy, hopes of Trumponomics (Tax reform/deregulation & incremental fiscal/infra spending) and muted returns from other asset classes. But any disappointment from US Corp tax cut issues & US geo-political jitters may be also a big risk now.

US index future (SPX-500) is now trading around 2625, almost unchanged on mixed Asian cues. Technically, for SPX-500, 2615 is now a positional support and consecutive closing above that it may further rally towards 2645-2655 area in the near term; otherwise expect some correction.

Overnight EU market also rallied in Stoxx-600 by 0.60% on techs optimism; Ocado soared by almost 21% following a tech deal; market was also helped by energies (analyst optimism, upbeat guidance & cash dividend by Shell), banks & financials (after successful UK stress tests) and exporters (lower EUR). DAX-30 rose by 0.5%, while CAC-40 added 0.6%.

FTSE-100 soared by 1%, helped by Shell optimism, exporters (lower GBP on concern of Hard Brexit during UK market hours), mixed banks after UK stress tests, Uniliver (upbeat guidance), but dragged by miners BHP on news about its cost cutting measures in AU.

EU index future is also indicating for positive opening amid flat EUR; but FTSE-100 is poised to trade in negative on higher GBP after reports that UK & EU has agreed for a open ended Brexit bill between 45-55 bln EUR, which may be settled in future courses as par actual costs to EU for Brexit. Although, UK has denied any such Brexit payment deal, market is assuming that it will be officially announced shortly.

Divorce bill payment was a major stumbling block for soft Brexit apart from EU citizens’ right issue in UK & the thorny issues of Irish border.

Back to home, Indian market (Nifty/India-50) is now trading around 10395, edged up by almost 0.15% on mixed Asian cues ahead of EU market opening. Looking ahead, market will focus on Q2 GDP (est: 6.4% vs prior: 5.7%) & Nov Mfg PMI (est: 51 vs prior 50.3) and Nov auto sales. But valuation may be a concern on mixed/muted earnings.
