The S and P 500 was unchanged and the Nifty fell last week. Signals are bullish for the upcoming week. Possible FED rate hikes are yet to be priced in and sentiment indicators are back in complacent mode. Bond yields are surging back up. The critical levels to watch are 2280 (up) and 2260 (down) on the S & P and 8400 (up) and 8300 (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.
