Indian Indices: Asian markets opened mixed with the Japanese 'Yen" weakness seeing gains in the stock indices while other markets opened flat. The US Dow Jones index corrected marginally after a long streak of 12 consecutive sessions of gains as the US Dollar gained strength on the back of growing expectation of a March rate hike by the Federal Reserve.

Nifty succumbed to profit booking and closed below the 8900 level as energy stocks dragged the index lower. GDP data released after market hours showed better than expected growth @ 7%, which belied any slow down after the 'demonetization' exercise in November. For today expect market consolidation and an attempt @ 8930 as positive data will see a renewed bout of buying by foreign investors.

Indian Indices: After trading in negative territory, Indian equity benchmarks continued their lackluster trade hovering near neutral lines in late afternoon session despite positive European markets. Investors failed to get any sense of relief with the Finance Minister ArunJaitley’s statement that the demonetisation process is almost complete and it has been the smoothest possible replacement of currency anywhere in the world. He said that a predominantly cash economy has now to be substituted with a digital economy, which will bring more money into the banking system and lead to better revenue generation; the integration of the informal economy with the more formal one is now taking place.

He also said that the post-demonetisation regime is actually going to generate a far bigger GDP in the long run. Sentiments remained dampened with the report that economic think tank National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has lowered the country's growth forecast to 6.9% for the current fiscal on account of government’s demonetisation drive to curb black money and corruption.

The BSE Sensex is currently closed down at 28812.88, down by 80.09 points or 0.28% after trading in a range of 28812.88 and 28961.83.

Global cues bring Domestic Rally

A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.

The market has seen a joyful run in recent series. A healthy correction is long awaited. Global cues today are subdued and that need not bring in any meaningful fall. So far, sector rotation and follow-on buying have kept the market in good cheer. This week will see the market react to Q4 GDP numbers and infrastructure output for January. The outlook is a weak start. RIL could help reduce the losses on the main indices. The F&O rollover was encouraging as market wide rollover of Nifty contracts to March series stood at 73 pc as against an average of less than 70 pc in the last three series. HPCL could see action on reports that ONGC could take control of it as part of the governments plan to create an integrated public sector oil entity. FPI activity has resumed as overseas investors put in over Rs. 14,600 crore into the Indian market in Feb investing Rs 9,359 crore in equities and another Rs 5,279 crore in the debt segment.

Technical Track

Nifty made new 52-week high on Friday but gave a close below previous peak (8969) at 8940. Currently index is trading within the three-digit gann channel i.e. 8860-8910 wherein, multiple gann pressure points are observed. Failure to break above 9010 could see Nifty beginning a corrective move in the form of rangebound consolidation. As per Gann analysis, this week is an anniversary period where index formed a major bottom of 6826 on 29th Feb 2016. According to Gann, anniversary dates more often results in the formation of tops and bottoms (either minor or significant). A year earlier around the same time period (i.e. 4th March 2015), Nifty had made a top of 9119. So after a rally of ~14% from the midpoint i.e. 7894 of entire move of 6825 to 8969, Nifty is hovering close to its all-time high level, wherein multiple supply points are found. So risk reward ratio for creating fresh longs are not favorable.

Commodity & Currency Cues

Goldprices registered a 3 &#2013266109; month high, helped by relatively soft US dollar and rising gold ETF inflows. Holdings in worlds largest gold backed ETF (SPDR) have risen some 5% this month.

This week, markets will be interested in the second estimate of US Q4 GDP growth numbers, expected at 2.1%, slightly higher than the first reading.

In the non-ferrous pack, metal prices have regained some lost ground after a liquidation on Thursday. On copper, there are no signs of any end to the labour strike at Escondida mine in Chile.

IMF reduced is growth forecasts to 6.6% for fiscal year 2016-17 and to 7.2% in 2017-18.
Challenges remain, however, and there is little scope for complacency. A key concern is the health of the banking system, which is still dealing with a large amount of bad loans, and also heightened corporate vulnerabilities in several key sectors of the economy.

Global Economic News:

Fed signals potential March rate hike
In minutes released this week, US Federal Reserve officials signaled the potential for a rate hike at its next policy meeting in March. Citing potentially increased spending and reduced taxation under the Trump administration, the minutes suggest that the Fed may act more aggressively to keep a lid on inflation. The central bank increased the federal funds rate to between 0.5% and 0.75% in December and indicated then the potential for three quarter-percentage-point increases this year. Markets are expecting two rate hikes in 2017, and while odds of an increase have risen for March, they still remain low, at around 22%, according to data from CME.

Frexit fears rise on Le Pen's gains
While French presidential candidates François Fillon and Emmanuel Macron still hold commanding leads over Marine Le Pen in the upcoming elections, the right wing candidate has narrowed the gap, according to French polls released this week. Ms. Le Pen favors dropping out of the euro currency, and the markets aren't taking any chances. In reaction to the polls, the spread on French five-year government bonds rose to its highest level since the eurozone debt crisis. Trading volume for credit default swaps on French government debt also surged as spreads spiked. Credit default swaps are held by some investors for insurance against debt defaults. Rising CDS spread levels indicate that investors believe the chance of a default has increased.

Greece open to reforms
Greece agreed to legislate pension and other structural reforms this week, generating some optimism that negotiations on its bailout terms would resume after months of gridlock. Yields on Greek government debt fell to their lowest level in a month, although much work remains to be done.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

Trump voices support for border tax
Donald Trump said this week that he supports a form of the proposed "border adjustment tax" (BAT), a tax on all imports. Trump suggested that such a tax would entice companies to relocate manufacturing operations to the United States, which would create more US jobs. Retail stocks have been pummeled in recent months over speculation that a border tax would be implemented. The retail industry imports most goods it sells in the US. J.C. Penney announced this week that it would close more than 100 stores, and rivals Kohl's and Macy's announced they would lease some of their retail space to other retailers in an effort to generate more revenue from real estate assets. Under the proposal, US export income would be tax free, which could benefit some energy companies, such as crude oil exporters.
