Indian
Indices: US markets hit fresh new all time highs as the Dow Jones nearly hit
21300 on the upside. The weakness in UK Pound saw strength in US Dollar,
which further prompted buying in the S&P while the Nasdaq fell heavily
after rising nonstop for the last 9 days. Asian indices saw profit taking on opening
bell with the Japanese 'Nikkei" down over 150 points as North Korean
rhetoric saw weak sentiment prevail.
Nifty saw last hour buying led by Metals and select Auto stocks drive
the index higher even as the broader market saw corrections. For today expect
range bound trade on the Nifty while stock/sector outperformance continuing.
Expect defensive buying in Pharma and select mid-caps to be the theme today
while selling in PSU banks and Financials may be witnessed in the light of
further farm loan waivers being announced by states.
