The S and
P 500 and the Nifty made new highs 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 well
over 3 standard deviations above their long term averages from which
corrections usually result. The critical levels to watch are 2590 (up) and 2570(down)
on the S & P and 10400 (up) and 10250 (down) on the Nifty. A significant
breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets.
