The S and P 500 made new highs and the Nifty continued to
underperform last week. Signals are mixed for the upcoming week. Quantitative
tightening by the FED is yet to be priced in and sentiment indicators are back
in complacency mode. The markets are still trading at 3 standard deviations
above their long term averages from which corrections usually result. The
critical levels to watch are 2530 (up) and 2510 (down) on the S & P and 9900
(up) and 9700 (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.
