The S and P 500 and the Nifty moved up 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. The Baltic dry index is crashing again. The critical levels to watch are 2325 (up) and 2300 (down) on the S & P and 8850 (up) and 8750 (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.
