Observation
The Sand P 500 and the Nifty were down last week. Indicators are bearish.
We are entering a weak period for risk assets globally and massive declines are likely in both indices in the upcoming months.

**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral


 The markets resumed their downtrend last week. Signals are strongly bearish for the upcoming week and markets are in #crash mode. The #SandP500 and several global indices are completing massive bear flags which are resolving to the downside. There will be more downside upcoming in the #Nifty and the S and P 500, with at least a retest of the lows for the S and P 500 near 1867 and Nifty near 7550 in the upcoming days. You can check out last weeks report for a comparison. You can also check out snapshots of the S and P 500 and Nifty Indices. Love your thoughts and feedback.

India Market Insight

My Asset Allocation Strategy (Indian Market)

Cash - 40%
Bonds - 20%
Fixed deposit - 20%
Gold - 5%
Stocks - 10% ( Majority of this in dividend funds)
Other Asset Classes - 5%

My belief is that stocks are relatively overvalued compared to bonds and attractive buying opportunities can come along after 1-2 years. In a deflationary scenario no asset class does well other than U.S bonds, the U.S dollar and the Japanese yen, so better to be safe than sorry with high quality government bonds and fixed deposits. Cash is the king always. Of course this varies with the person's age.
