Observation
The Sand P 500 was up last week while the Nifty out performed. Indicators are bullish.  Market cycles are not favorable into mid August, so I am looking for a top in this move up.

Signals are bullish for the upcoming week. Bearish divergences and unfavorable market cycles into August however make me look for a near term top. 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.
