The S and P 500 and the Nifty were down last week. Indicators are mixed for the upcoming week. Looking for significant under performance in the Nifty going forward on rapidly deteriorating macros. This rally is close to another major top in key asset classes which has already formed in the Euro and commodities amidst a number of bearish divergences. This is going to be followed by a massive selloff and most likely a deflationary collapse. Quantitative tightening by the FED is yet to be priced in fully. The markets are still trading well over 3 standard deviations above their long term averages from which corrections usually result. Tail risk is also very high. The critical levels to watch for the week are 2925 (up) and 2905 (down) on the S & P 500 and 11000 (up) and 10850 (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.
