Observation
The S and P 500 and the Nifty made new highs last week. Indicators are bullish.
The market is at new highs. Time to tighten those stops.


On the Horizon
China – CPI, New loan data, Australia – Rate decision, GDP, Euro Zone –ECB rate decision, Draghi speech,
U.S – ISM services, Canada – Employment data, Mexico – Local elections, India – RBI rate decision

**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral






The S and P 500 and the Nifty made new highs last week. Signals are bullish for the upcoming week. Past and future FED rate hikes are yet to be priced in and sentiment indicators are back in complacency mode. Market internals, the transports and commodities are flashing major warning signs of a large decline ahead. The critical levels to watch are 2450 (up) and 2430 (down) on the S & P and 9700 (up) and 9550 (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.

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.
