Global Economic News:

Fed hikes rates, reveals plan to shrink bond holdings
Despite falling inflation data in recent months, the US Federal Reserve hiked rates on Wednesday, and indicated it will likely hike rates once more this year. Also, the central bank laid out the framework it will use when it begins to shrink its massive balance sheet, a process it indicated will begin later this year. The Fed will initially allow $10 billion in securities to mature each month — $6 billion in Treasuries and $4 billion in mortgage and agency debt — gradually increasing until it reaches a cap of $50 billion a month. In her Wednesday press conference, Fed chair Janet Yellen chalked up the recent decline in inflation to one-off factors such as falling prices for cell phone service and prescription drugs. Despite three consecutive monthly declines in consumer prices, the Federal Open Market Committee said that it expects inflation to stabilize around the committee’s 2% target in the medium term. Despite three rates hikes, yields on US 10-year notes are nearly a half-percent lower today than they were when the FOMC resumed its tightening cycle in December 2016.

New party set to grab French majority 
French president Emmanuel Macron’s Republic on the Move party is set to secure a significant majority in the National Assembly, based on voting in the first round of the two-round process. His party is projected to win as many as 450 of the 577 seats in France’s lower house, potentially giving him the ability to push through needed, but previously unpopular, reforms. The final round of voting takes place on Sunday, 18 June.

IMF ups China outlook
The International Monetary Fund raised its gross domestic product forecast for China to 6.7% in 2017, up from its prior 6.6% projection, the second time the fund has boosted its outlook. China should embrace reform while growth is strong, the IMF said, since buffers are sufficient to ease the transition and to avoid sharp adjustments down the road.

Greek debt relief will have to wait
Greece’s creditors reached another deal to release a further round of funding to keep the country afloat. The lifeline did not include an agreement to cut Greece’s debt load, as had been hoped, postponing discussions on that matter until August 2018. Under the terms of the deal, Greece will be granted access to an additional €8.5 billion, though its debt remains excluded from the European Central Bank’s asset purchase program. Greek unemployment stands at 23%, and the Greek economy has shrunk 27% since 2008, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

US revises Cuba policy
The Trump administration announced a revised Cuba policy on Friday that will tighten rules on Americans traveling to Cuba and restrict US companies from doing business with entities controlled by the Cuban military. Exceptions will be made for US air carriers and cruise lines.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

UK election fallout reverberates
Credit rating agency Moody’s Investors Service warned this week that the minority government resulting from the recent snap election in the United Kingdom further complicates Brexit negotiations with the European Union. The latest political developments are a credit negative, and the government will likely be forced to put fiscal deficit cuts on hold, the agency said. Meanwhile, inflation remains a major concern for Bank of England policymakers after consumer prices rose 2.9% versus a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly four years. Markets were caught by surprise as three members of the eight- member Monetary Policy Committee — there is one vacancy on the committee — voted to raise interest rates this week in order to rein in inflation. London’s financial community had expected to hear from Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond and Bank of England governor Mark Carney late in the week, but both cancelled scheduled speeches out of respect for those killed and injured in the Grenfell Tower apartment building fire.

Accumulate HDIL Ltd For Target Rs.110.00

Hdil, after prolong corrective phase, has been trading in a broader range of 50-110 for last three years.
Technically, the realty index has witnessed bullish reversal after several years of underperformance and Hdil is also rebounding in line with the sectoral index.

Currently, it has been consolidating above the support zone of multiple moving averages with exponential rise in volumes which indicates accumulation. The chart pattern along with oscillators is also pointing towards strong prospect of retesting the upper band of the range in near term and possibly a breakout also this time. In short, we strongly advise traders to use this phase to accumulate in the given range of 90-93 with close below stop loss of 83 for the target of 110.

Recommendation 
Buy HDIL  Ltd @ 90-93 Stoploss 83 Target 110 

MARKET OUTLOOK: 
The Nifty opened on flat note today & traded with bearish bias throughout the day. Nevertheless the index obeyed the falling channel on the hourly chart & remained within the same. Near the support zone of 9580-9560 bulls rushed in to provide support to the benchmark index. Thus Nifty managed to close just above the 20 DMA. Till the time the key Moving Average & the lower channel line holds on closing basis sharper decline is unlikely. On the higher side, 9627-9655 is a key resistance zone to watch out for. Once that gets taken off, the next move on the upside can take the index to 9815, which is our short term target.

Other technical observations 
On the daily chart the Nifty is above the 20-day moving average (DMA) and the 40-DEMA, i.e. 9577 and 9465 respectively. The momentum indicator is in bearish mode on the daily chart.

On the hourly chart, the Nifty is below the 20-hour moving average (HMA) and the 40-HEMA, i.e. 9606 and 9614 respectively. The hourly momentum indicator is in bearish mode. The market breadth was marginally negative with 728 advances and 747 declines on the National Stock Exchange.

Low made  was 9560 bears broke 9595 and finally closed below it and can push towards 9520/9480. Bullish above 9610 for a move towards 9660/9720/9770. As seen in below chart, nifty has done 2 time whipsaw at gann angle and shown a impulsive move on upside. Will it be repeated again ? 17 June is important trend change date as per geometric time cycle as it being holiday we should see effect either tomorrow or Monday.  Nifty continue to close below gann angle, but in the process formed an Inside bar pattern. Bullish above 9610 for a move towards 9660/9720/9770. Till we are closing below 9595 bears have upper hand and can push 9520/9480.As we discussed 17 June is important trend change day so low made on Friday is important ie.9565 holding the same we can continue to move higher towards our target.  

Conclusion: 
The Indian equity markets snapped its five week winning streak amid profit booking around the all time high of 9700. Rising NPA issues, loan waivers by states kept the overall sentiment under check. RBI identifying 12 accounts that covered about 25% of the banking system’s NPA for immediate resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code also saw uncertainty spread across the street. Meanwhile, the Index of Industrial Production rose to 3.1% in April led by high growth in manufacturing. On the other hand, retail inflation fell to a record low of 2.18% in May. The wholesale price index based inflation eased to 2.17% in May this year from 3.85% in April. Among the other macro-economic data, India’s current account deficit in the fourth quarter widened to USD 3.4 bn, or 0.6% of gross domestic product (GDP), against USD 0.3 bn (0.1% of GDP) in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2015-16, owing to a widening trade deficit. Mostly sectoral indices traded in line with the benchmark and ended on flat note, in absence of any fresh trigger. For the week, BSE Sensex and Nifty were down by 0.8% each.

Global Front:

In Overseas Markets,British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative party has fallen short of an outright majority in the UK's general election held on Thursday, 8 June 2017. May had unexpectedly called the snap election seven weeks ago, confident of sharply increasing the slim majority she had inherited from predecessor David Cameron before launching into the Brexit talks.

The ECB on Thursday, 8 June 2017, as expected, left interest rates unchanged but said it continued to expect interest rates “to remain at present levels for an extended period of time, and well past the horizon” of its asset-buying program, which is set to run at least through December. In previous statements, the ECB had said it expected rates “to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time.”

US non farm payrolls increased 138,000 in May, missing the forecast, suggesting the labour market was losing momentum despite the unemployment rate falling to a 16-year low of 4.3%. Also, the number of jobs created in March and April was reduced by 66,000 from what was previously reported.

Global Economic News:

ECB drops rate-cut reference
With the economy on the upswing, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi announced on Thursday that the bank is dropping its bias toward cutting interest rates, but it retained its bias toward increasing quantitative easing, if necessary. The bank raised its growth forecast while at the same time cutting its inflation outlook. Risks to the economy are now broadly balanced, he said. The overall tone of Draghi’s press conference was decidedly dovish.

Former FBI chief testifies
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election and President Donald Trump’s desire that the Bureau end its investigation of his former national security advisor Michael Flynn. Comey said he would leave it to Special Counsel Robert Mueller to decide whether the president’s conduct rose to the level of obstruction of justice. With Mueller’s investigation in an early phase, there will likely be many months of continued policy paralysis in Washington.

Eurozone economy leads the pack
Purchasing managers’ indices released this week show that the eurozone continues to outperform other developed economies. The eurozone composite PMI, which measures both manufacturing and services, stood at 56.8, unchanged from April. Meanwhile, the United States clocked in at 53.6 and the UK at 56.7, just below April’s 56.8 three-year high. Japan’s composite PMI registered 52.6 and China’s 51.5.

Catalonia schedules referendum
The president of the Spanish region of Catalonia, CarlesPuigdemont, announced on Friday that an independence referendum will be held on 1 October. The Spanish government strongly opposes the referendum on constitutional grounds, as it did in 2014 when the country’s constitutional court ruled a previous vote invalid. Under the Spanish constitution, Madrid could resort to suspending the region’s autonomy to thwart the plebiscite.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

May severely weakened in UK vote; Tories lose majority
Prime Minister Theresa May’s gambit to improve her Brexit bargaining position by calling a snap election did exactly the opposite, increasing the uncertainty around the Brexit process. The Conservative Party lost its outright majority in the House of Commons but will be able to form a government with the backing of the 10 members of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party. Politically, May is seen as living on borrowed time, and could be replaced as party leader in the near future. Early indications are that May’s failure to secure a larger parliamentary majority undermines the case for a “hard” Brexit, which the Tories campaigned for. That is one reason — along with a weaker pound — that markets have taken the election outcome in stride so far. A softer Brexit is seen as less disruptive to UK business interests. One side note: A very poor showing by the Scottish National Party is seen as halting momentum toward a second referendum on Scottish independence.

However, throughout the week, traders and investors remained jittery amid multiple global events like ECB meet and UK elections. Even upgrades in monsoon estimates and RBI’s decision of keeping repo rate and reverse repo rate unchanged at 6.25% and 6%, respectively didn’t bring any cheer to the market.

Start of this week witnessed ITC and HUL lead the main indices as the FMCG companies helped five of the top 10 most valued Indian firms raise their market cap by more than Rs 37,000 crore. The PSU Banking stocks were in action after media reports stated that the government was examining the possibility of further consolidation in the public sector banking space without waiting for their finances to improve.

Merkel’s party flexes muscles
German chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, the Christian Democratic Union, has performed extremely well in German state elections in recent months. This potentially paves the way for Merkel to retain her post when Germany holds federal elections in late September. The CDU won the regional vote in Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, last weekend, unseating the Social Democrats in state elections for the third time since March. Earlier concerns over Merkel’s unpopular immigration stance appear to have faded amid a solid German economic recovery.

Domestic Market Overview 
Markets may see some recovery, GST rate specific actions to be in limelight 
The Indian markets reeling under global pressure slumped and major benchmarks dropped close to a percent in the last session. Today, the start is likely to be mildly in green and some recovery can be seen after the sharp fall of last trade. Traders will be cheering the GST Council finalising tax rates of goods and services under the four-slab structure with essential items of daily use being kept in the lowest bracket of 5 percent. The Council fixed the rates for over 1200 items under the Goods and Services tax. Lots of daily consumption items such as milk, fruit and vegetables, jaggery or gur, foodgrain and cereals have been exempted from tax, while others such as sugar, tea, coffee, edible oil, mithai, and newsprint have been placed in the lowest slab of 5 per cent. Luxury cars will attract 28 per cent GST plus a cess of 15 per cent, while small petrol cars will face 28 per cent plus 1 per cent cess, and diesel small cars 28 per cent tax plus 3 per cent cess. Consumer durables, which now face a total tax of about 32 per cent, will be taxed in the 28 per cent slab.

The panel will discuss tax rates for gold and some other items today and could meet one more time if necessary to decide rates on remaining items. There will be sector specific buzz based on GST rates and steel stocks may see some uptrend as the GST rate on coal has been fixed at 5 percent. The move will bring down the input cost and would lead to stabilisation of prices. There will be some buzz in banking sector too, as the RBI has eased the norms of setting up bank branches and said branches manned by either bank’s staff or its business correspondents where services are provided for a minimum of four hours per day for at least five days a week will be called a banking outlet. There will be lots of important earnings announcements too to keep the markets in action.

TECHNICAL VIEW:

Nifty loose firm momentum and tanks around 100 points from previous session’s close. It tested support of upward sloping trend channel and closed near the same in the end. The trend strength indicator (RSI) came out of an overbought state now on the daily scale.A breach below 9400 could distort the firmness & hence could seen as a strong support area. Momentum traders should maintained as a trailing stop strategy for existing shorts.
Bank Nifty: Low made  was 22660 and close was at 22700 so bulls were able to hold the low of gann angles, holding the same we can bounce back towards 22820/22940/23110. Bearish below 22600 for a move towards 22500/22350. Bank Nifty made high of 22900 doing our target as discussed. Also Low made was 22628, so bulls were able to protect 22600 and close above 22700 suggesting bulls are still in game as bank nifty holding on to gann angles, Bulls above 22800 can see next move towards 22940/23110. Bearish below 22600 only, As per time analysis expect a trending move in next 2 days. 

Conclusion: 
Markets, in line with global peers, reacted sharply to the news that the US President tried to influence federal investigation, raising doubts over his policies ahead. Mostly sectoral indices, barring IT, ended lower and settled around the day’s low. Besides, caution ahead of the beginning of the two-day GST meet also induced the participants to book some profit.
Markets are slightly overheated after the recent rally and finally got the reason to lighten up. We feel 9350 would be crucial mark in Nifty ahead and any decisive slide below that level will derail the momentum. However, traders should see this as intermediate correction, which is normal and healthy for sustainability of the broader trend.

Global Economic News:

Legislative calendar grows more challenging for Trump
President Donald Trump’s health care reform and tax cut agenda have faced significant legislative headwinds for some time, but those headwinds stiffened considerably after the president removed from office embattled Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey. Measures that require a 60-vote majority in the 100-seat United States Senate will be extremely difficult to enact given the charged political environment. Republicans, with 52 senators, hold a slim majority.

Macron outperforms expectations
Centrist Emmanuel Macron was expected to easily beat right-wing populist Marine Le Pen in the second round of the French presidential election, but his margin of victory proved to be even larger than expected. Macron received 66% of the vote to Le Pen’s 34%. He must now forge a governing majority in the National Assembly, with two-round parliamentary elections scheduled for 11 June and 18 June.

South Korea’s president aims for warmer North Korea relations
Newly-elected South Korean president Moon Jae-in took office on Wednesday and vowed to resolve the security crisis on the Korean peninsula as soon as possible, including by traveling to Pyongyang, under the right conditions. On the economic front, Moon is expected to push for the reform of South Korea’s conglomerate system, as well as to seek higher corporate taxes.

Greek bailout may secure IMF backing
Concerns over the sustainability of Greek debt have caused in the International Monetary Fund to bypass the past several rounds of funding for the indebted Euro zone member. But the IMF looks likely to rejoin the bailout in the weeks ahead, and continues to push European authorities to grant Greece debt relief. An agreement is expected at a meeting of Euro group finance ministers on 22 May.

US consumer perks up

Consumer prices in the US remain subdued, rising 0.2% in April after falling 0.3% in March. Core CPI rose 0.1% in April, and was up 1.9% versus a year ago.

Bank of England leaves policy untouched, lowers outlook
The Bank of England left interest rates unchanged at their rate-setting meeting on Thursday but the Monetary Policy Committee slightly downgraded its economic growth forecast for 2017 to 1.9% from an earlier 2% outlook.

Buy Majesco Ltd For Target Rs. 556.00 

STOCK IN FOCUS 
* Majesco’s stock rose by 2.4% yesterday, while the BSE Sensex was flat. While the company reported a disappointing 4QFY17, with revenue down 6.2% QoQ in USD terms, we believe underlying industry fundamentals and the key IBM partnership will enable Majesco to boost revenue growth in FY18E.

TECHNICAL VIEW:

NIFTY began the session on lifetime- high tracking positive cues from Asian markets, but later index remained sideways during the day. Finally, after oscillating in 9,451-9,411 range, NIFTY closed the day at 9,422 mark with gain of 15 points.NSE Cash segment reported turnover of Rs25,387crore as compared to Rs24,298 crore earlier.Overall market breadth remained negative, where 672 stocks advanced against 986 declined stocks.Mixed trend was observed across all the sectoral indices during the day, where Media index emerged as a top gainer with the increase of 3.4% respectively.

Bank Nifty made high of 22977 doing our target of 22940 and now holding 20700 we can move towards 23110.Bearish only below 22500.

Conclusion: 
Indian equity market following a breather in the last week regained its upward journey. With the statement from IMD that projected a normal monsoon provided the required impetus to push Nifty to pierce 9450 mark for the first time ever. Post a big rally, the market invariably faces a hurdle in the form of resistance at higher levels. This is a normal phenomenon in a bull market, which was very much in play during this week’s trade. In addition, Friday sell-off led by Banking stocks saw markets giving away some of the gains. Yes Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank stocks declined sharply on wide divergence between reported NPA and RBI assessed NPA. Pharma stocks remained under pressure as earnings continue to disappoint with latest Glenmark results reporting a wide miss on estimates.

Interestingly, BankNifty under performed against the benchmark index, and was the main reason for slowdown in index action post the breakout session on Wednesday. Furthermore, records kept tumbling on indices even as the global market rally and an historical low VIX contributed towards the gains.

Global Economic News:

Nonfarm payrolls rebound
Friday’s US employment report was fairly upbeat, with 211,000 added to payrolls in April versus a downward revised 79,000 in March. The unemployment rate fell to a 4.4%, a 10-year low, though average hourly earnings were restrained, rising a less-than-expected 2.5%. The report paves the way for likely rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve at its June meeting. The Fed earlier this week held rates steady but said weakness in the US economy in the first quarter was likely transitory.

Macron holds formidable lead ahead of Sunday’s vote
Thirty-nine-year-old centrist Emmanuel Macron, seeking elective office for the first time, looks poised to win the French presidency on Sunday. He leads right-wing populist Marine Le Pen by an average of 20 points in opinion polls. The same polls proved quite accurate in the election’s first round, and showed that Macron bested Le Pen in Wednesday’s head-to-head debate. If Macron wins, as expected, two-round parliamentary elections in June will be critical for his fledgling En Marche! party, which will have to cobble together a working majority to allow Macron to govern effectively.

UK–EU divide widens ahead of negotiations
Explosive media reports this week documenting a meeting on 26 April between Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker show just how far apart the two sides are before Brexit negotiations begin in earnest. While the United Kingdom hopes to negotiate the terms of its divorce from the European Union and its future trade relations in parallel, the EU has made clear that exit terms must be well on their way to being ironed out before it will entertain trade talks. Also in dispute is how large a bill the UK will have to foot to exit the EU. Numbers as high as €100 billion were floated in the media this week. Prime Minster May will lead her party into elections on 8 June, so the public spat with the EU this week comes at a fortuitous time for her, as it plays well to the anti-EU faction of the UK electorate.

European economy kicks into gear
Economic growth in the Eurozone grew at an annualized pace of 1.8% in the first quarter of 2017, outstripping US growth, which was an anemic 0.7% annualized rate over the same period. Purchasing managers' indices reported this week suggest that European growth might be accelerating further.

Health care reform bill emerges from US House
After months of Republican infighting, a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare emerged from the US House of Representatives this week. The bill will likely face a stiff challenge in the Senate, where lawmakers will attempt to fashion a bill under the so-called reconciliation rule that won’t require 60 votes for consideration. A Senate vote on the measure is expected to be some months away.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

Largest-ever US municipal bankruptcy for Puerto Rico

Detroit’s $9 billion filing held the previous record. A decade-long recession, a shrinking population and a dramatically underfunded pension system forced the territory to seek protection from creditors.

Fundamental Pick of the week:

Buy Hindustan Unilever Ltd For Target Rs.1,020.00

Derivative Ideas

* Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is an Indian consumer goods company based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is owned by Anglo-Dutch company Unilever which owns a 67% controlling share in HUL as of March 2015 and is the holding company of HUL. HUL's products include foods, beverages, cleaning agents, personal care products and water purifiers.

* On the charts, it has marginally retraced from its 52-week high i.e. 954 and has formed a fresh buying pivot after consolidating in a narrow range.The chart looks upbeat from hereon and we believe that the prevailing momentum will continue ahead as well and expect of making a new record high soon.

TECHNICAL VIEW:

As expected Nifty consolidated and traded in a narrow range of 107 points throughout the week but hits new all time high by 10 points on the back of strong up-move in Banking stocks like ICICI Bank and PSU banks as the new ordinance to resolve the bad loans kept the sector in momentum. The result season was mixed with strong performance from ICICI Bank, HDFC, and Marico while muted results from Biocon, Bharat Finance, Dabur and JSW Energy.  Core sector output rose by 5% in March, recovering from the one-year low growth rate of 1% in February keeping the industrial segment in focus. Global markets also remained flat as FOMC kept the interest rates unchanged, hinting at hikes in the next meeting in June. Commodities continued to remain under pressure with dollar index trading at sub 100 levels.

 Nifty has ended flat down by 0.3% after hitting a new all time high at 9377 reversing the entire week gains on Friday to close at 9,285 levels.  There was sharp profit booking in high beta sectors and stocks during the week. Metals, Energy and Auto declined by 4.1%, 2.8% and 1.5% respectively, while IT and Bank Nifty gained by 1.4% and 1%, respectively for the week. CNX Midcaps and Small cap ended flat to negative after hitting an all time high. 

Conclusion:

We continue to believe markets would consolidate and also expect some correction to fill the gap level which was left near 9,225 levels. It could head for large correction if 9,000 gets broken on the downside as it is a very important level placed since the start of the up move from January 2017.  The option data also continues to suggest a strong support at 9000 with an OI of 50 lakhs shares in put options. On the upside 9400 has the highest OI of 55 lakhs shares in call options.

Global Economic News:

Trump shifts tone
US president Donald Trump sounded decidedly more moderate than he did during last fall’s campaign in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. The president reversed course on multiple fronts. First, Trump said he may nominate US Federal Reserve Board chair Janet Yellen to a second term after saying last fall that she was "toast" and he would replace her at the end of her term. He also reversed his opposition to the US Export-Import Bank, which finances US exports. Critics cite the bank as an example of “corporate welfare.” Additionally, the president shifted gears on NATO, saying the alliance is no longer obsolete because it has begun to fight terrorism. Finally, Trump said the United States will not label China a currency manipulator, thus breaking another campaign vow. The reversal may represent an attempt to entice China to increase pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear program.

North Korea, Syria in spotlight
Tensions continued to mount on the Korean peninsula as the North Korean regime threatened a nuclear strike in response to any US aggression. North Korea is believed to be trying to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the US mainland. This week, the US navy dispatched a carrier task force to the western Pacific in a show of force, while Chinese president Xi Jinping said that China is committed to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. President Trump called on China to do more to rein in its nuclear-armed neighbor, saying if China won’t help, the US could act alone. Meanwhile, the US and other G7 nations continue to pressure Russia to abandon its support of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad in the wake of last week’s chemical weapons attack on Syrian rebels which led to a cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase by US forces.

Poloz: House prices can go down as well as up
Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz warned of the growing role of speculation in the recent acceleration in Toronto-area house prices. The central banker said that prices had accelerated from percentages in the high teens to the 30% zone, adding there is no fundamental story that can explain the rise. “I think it is timely to remind folks that prices of houses can go down as well as up,” he said. Poloz also said that further rate cuts in Canada are no longer on the table.

EM debt issuance boomed in Q1
Borrowers in emerging markets raised a record $181 billion during the first quarter of the year.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

Four contenders vie for two spots in French runoff
For months, there have been three candidates in contention for the two spots in the second round of the French presidential election. Marine Le Pen, the populist firebrand, has consistently led recent polls, trailed closely by centrist Emmanuel Macron. François Fillon, hampered by an ethics scandal, has held the third position most of the time. Now a fourth candidate, leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, has entered the fray and is in a virtual tie for third place with Fillon. The conventional wisdom is that Le Pen will be beaten handily in the second round by either Macron or Fillon, who are more centrist. But the emergence of Mélenchon could put an unexpected wrinkle into the process. First-round voting takes place on 23 April.

Yellen: Fed allowing economy to coast
Speaking at the University of Michigan, Fed chair Yellen said that the US economy is healthy and that the Fed is now shifting its focus, taking its foot off the accelerator and allowing the economy to “coast” for a while, saying a gradual path of interest rate increases can get us where we need to go. Yellen also opined on several bills that are working their way through Congress, expressing concern that the Fed could become subject to political pressure if the bills are signed into law.

*Thus, long position can be initiated at Rs. 2810 for target of Rs 2950 with a stop loss of Rs 2740.

Indian Market Outlook:
The Nifty opened on a flat note today and traded with a downward bias. It has reached near the lower end of the 9180-9150 support range. On the hourly chart, the fall is appearing as a corrective one. In terms of price pattern, the Nifty seems to have formed a wedge on the hourly chart, whose implications are likely to be bullish. Thus, the next leg up could be around the corner. We are maintaining our positive view on the Nifty with a cautious approach. On the downside, the 61.8% retracement of the previous rise, ie 9120 will be the subsequent support, with 9000-8980 being a major support area. On the way up, 9340 and 9500 are the short-term and medium-term targets, respectively.  

TECHNICAL VIEW:

Nifty, after trading range bound for most part of the week, ended lower and lost nearly half a percent and finally settled at 9150.80.
* Existence of major hurdle around 9300 mark combined with weak global cues and anxiety ahead of earnings season capped upside; however, buying interest was witnessed in select index major amid volatility.
* In the coming week, we expect volatility to remain high due to ongoing earnings season and lingering geo-political issue.
* Considering all, we suggest participants maintaining stock specific approach and keep a check on the leveraged positions.

Conclusion:
