The S and P 500 and the Nifty fell last week. Signals are mixed for the upcoming week. A FED rate hike is yet to be priced in and sentiment indicators are back in complacent mode. A big move is coming very soon in the markets and will most likely be down. Bond yields have made a dramatic surge up and risky segments of the market like emerging markets are breaking down on broad dollar strength. The critical levels to watch are 2200 (up) and 2180 (down) on the S & P and 8150 (up) and 8000 (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. Love your thoughts and feedback.
