The
S and P 500 was unchanged and the Nifty fell last week. Signals are mixed for
the upcoming week. The FED rate hike is yet to be priced in and sentiment
indicators are back in complacent mode. Risky segments of the market like
emerging markets are breaking down on broad dollar strength. The critical levels
to watch are 2270 (up) and 2250 (down) on the S & P and 8100 (up) and 7900
(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.

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.
