Observation
The Sand P 500 was unchanged last week while the Nifty underperformed. Indicators are bearish but oversold so a sell off is likely after this oversold rally concludes.


On the Horizon
Greece discussions, China loan data, UK, US and Canada consumer prices, Euro ZEW economic sentiment survey, US retail sales, China GDP, Canada and ECB rate decisions, New Zealand consumer prices, Janet Yellen testimony, US consumer confidence

**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral


V8 Options
Signals are bearish for the upcoming week but indicators are oversold, so the oversold bounce that started last week may continue before the bears assert themselves . You can check out last weeks report for a comparison.

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.
