Observation
The S and P 500 fell hard and the Nifty rallied last week. Indicators are bearish.
Markets are breaking down from the top of their recent trading ranges. Time to tighten those stops.
On the Horizon
Japan – GDP, Australia – Employment data
New Zealand – Employment data, Euro Zone – ZEW sentiment survey, U.K – CPI,
US – CPI, Canada – CPI, Switzerland - GDP

**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral


The S and P 500 fell and the Nifty rallied last week. Signals are bearish for the upcoming week. Market momentum, breadth and sentiment indicators have been showing divergences for months now and a big breakdown is underway.  The markets are likely to continue major breakdowns in 2016. The critical levels to watch are 2140 (up) and 2120 (down) on the S & P and 8900 (up) and 8800 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. You can also check out support and resistance levels 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.
