Global
Markets – Global stocks neared record highs on Monday, in a
week where inflation figures could make or break expectations for earlier U.S.
rate cuts, while Chinese activity data will test optimism about a sustained
recovery in the world’s No. 2 economy.
The improved sentiment has helped lift Chinese blue chips to
a seven-month high and the positive vibes carried over into Europe, where the
STOXX 600 held near record highs and U.S. stock futures rose 0.1%.
The MSCI All-World index nudged higher on Monday
and is now less than 0.5% away from March’s record highs.
Crude
Oil – Oil prices extended declines on Monday
amid signs of weak fuel demand and as comments from U.S. Federal Reserve
officials dampened hopes of interest rate cuts, which could slow growth and
crimp energy use in the world’s biggest economy. Brent crude futures
slid 25 cents, or 0.27%, to $83.01 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate
crude futures were at $78.54 a barrel, up 30 cents.
Nifty futures opened at 22100.00 points against the previous
close of 22140.60 and opened at a low of 21900.00 points. Nifty Future closed
with an average movement of 325 points and a rise of around 84 points and closed
22224.25 points…!!
Rupee
Ends Lower – The Indian rupee closed
marginally lower after a range-bound trading session on Monday, tracking a
decline in most regional peers ahead of data that could help gauge the timing
of a policy reversal by the Federal Reserve. The rupee ended at 83.53 to
the U.S. dollar, down from 83.50 in the previous session. The domestic unit
traded in a narrow four – paise range in Monday’s session.
At the start of intra-day trading, June gold opened at Rs.72363,
fell from a high of Rs.72414 points to a low of Rs.71900 with a decline of 612 points,
a trend of around Rs.72115 and July Silver opened at Rs.84598, fell from a high
of Rs.85161 points to a low of Rs.84377 with a rise of 219 points, a trend of
around Rs.85063.
Meanwhile,
Though the market reversed from the day’s low
and ended up with a marginal gain, investors remain concerned over the
progressing general election and high valuation. An absence of major positive
triggers and the flight of FIIs from the domestic market will keep the
short-term trend weak. Investors remain watchful ahead of the release of India
and US inflation data and the FED chair’s speech to get a near-term direction.
Technically,
the important key resistances are placed in Nifty future are at 22224 levels,
which could offer for the market on the higher side. Sustainability above this
zone would signal opens the door for a directional up move with immediate
resistances seen at 22272 – 22373 levels. Immediate support is placed at 22088 –
22008 levels.
