DOLLAR, US TREASURY YIELD RISE ON HAWKISH FED STATEMENT; 10040 CONTINUES TO BE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT FOR NIFTY

WORLD MARKETS                             

While Dow and S & P 500 gained 0.2% and 0.1% respectively, Nasdaq fell 0.1%, digesting the outcome of Fed meeting.

Fed said it would start winding down its $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October and indicated that one additional rate hike was probable this year.

Treasury yields rose with the 10-year note hitting a high of 2.29%, its highest level since Aug. 8. The two-year note yielded as high as 1.451%, touching its highest levels since 2008. Dollar index rose 0.7% to 92.45.

Main European markets ended little changed but Italy and Spain fell 0.3% and 0.8% respectively. UK retail sales surged 1% last month, beating forecasts.

AT HOME

It was yet another day of consolidation as benchmark indices ended little changed after trading in a narrow range. Sensex settled at 32400, down 2 points while Nifty lost 6 points to finish at 10141. BSE mid-cap and small-cap indices fell 0.1% each. BSE Telecom and Auto indices fell 0.8% and 0.7% respectively, becoming top losers among the sectoral indices while Capital Goods and Healthcare indices were the top gainers, putting on 0.5% and 0.2% respectively.

OUTLOOK

Today morning, Nikkei is up 0.7% but other Asian markets are trading with modest cuts and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 20 points lower start for our market.

10040, the low made last Friday, continues to be immediate support below which 34 DMA, which also coincides with the upward sloping trendline adjoining recent bottoms, placed around 9950, would be the crucial support to eye.

10220 continues to be immediate upside target.


Traders are advised to hold long positions with the stop-loss of 10040.
