Global Economic News:

US holiday sales disappoint
US retail sales rose 0.6% in December, but were flat when excluding automobile and gasoline sales.

China’s 2016 exports fall
Exports from China fell for a second year amid persistent weakness in global trade. The possibility of disagreements with the United States over trade does not brighten the outlook for 2017. In 2016, exports fell 7.7% while imports slid 5.5%. There were some bright spots discernible, suggesting domestic demand is improving. Record amounts of oil, iron ore, copper and soybeans were imported in 2016.

Outlook upbeat for small businesses
The National Federation of Independent Businesses termed the jump in its small business optimism indicator “stratospheric” as the number of business owners who expect better business conditions jumped 38 points. The index rose to 105.8, its highest level since 2004. The increased optimism is leading to more business activity, such as capital investment, according to the group.

Global economy to expand 2.7% says World Bank
Despite stagnant global trade, subdued investment and heightened policy uncertainty, the World Bank expects global growth to expand at a 2.7% rate in 2017, up from 2.3% in 2016, a post-crisis low. Hoped- for fiscal stimulus from the US could generate fast growth, the bank said, though it cautioned that trade protection could have adverse effects.

Pace of US stimulus questioned
President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference this week but did not lay out a clear timeline or framework for the tax cuts and regulatory reforms he campaigned on. Markets are growing concerned that stimulus could come later than expected or be smaller in size than first envisioned. Trump did say that the Affordable Care Act would be repealed and replaced “essentially simultaneously.” The president-elect said that he would place his business interests in a trust and transfer control of his company to his two adult sons.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

BOE’s Carney: Brexit no longer biggest risk to stability
Bank of England governor Mark Carney said this week that Brexit is no longer the biggest single risk to financial stability in the United Kingdom. That’s a dramatic change in tune from the nation’s top central banker. Before the referendum in June, Carney warned of severe economic consequences if Britons voted to leave the European Union. Now, Carney says that the bank will very likely revise its economic forecast higher next month. The EU, Carney said, has more to lose from a “hard” Brexit than the UK.

Fundamental Pick of the week:

BUY Tata power Ltd For Target Rs. 88.00

The stock rose to two and half month closing high post giving break-out from “Symmetrical Triangle” pattern.We believe the stock will surge in the near-term, as (i) substantial rise in volume on the break-out day and (ii) gradual rise in RSI & MACD post their positive cross-over is signaling strength in the stock and in favor of probable rebound.On the higher side, the stock will initially face resistance around prior swing high and monthly moving average thereafter.

Recommendation

Long position can be initiated in Rs79.50-79 range for target of Rs88 with a strict stop loss of Rs76.

Indian Market Outlook:

The Nifty opened higher and ended the trading session on a positive note. It is approaching significant resistance levels. The 20 Week Moving Average (WMA) and the 50% retracement of the fall from 8968 to 7893 are converging at around 8430. It would be interesting to see if the bears manage to defend the crucial resistance level of 8430 or not. If the Nifty breaks and sustains above 8430, then a move towards 8510-8560 is likely. However, the Index is losing momentum on the upside. The hourly momentum indicator is already showing a negative divergence and has also given a negative crossover. Therefore, some caution needs to be maintained while initiating fresh long positions. The bulls will gain momentum if the Nifty breaks and sustains above 8430. The Index is interestingly poised at this moment. It continues to make higher top and higher bottom, indicating that the current uptrend can persist in the near term. Traders holding long positions in the Nifty should trail stop loss, as the momentum is weakening.

TECHNICAL VIEW:

Conclusion:

Nifty continue its uptrend now range of 8430-8435 is very important zone of resistance,crossing the same rally can extend towards 8600. Taking resistance in zone we can see downmove towards 8250. High made today was 8417 and low 8382 and close at 8407. As we have weekly closing tomorrow so bulls will be happy to close above the gann resistance zone as shown in below chart,bears will be happy to close below 8380. Close above 8440 can see next round of upmove towards 8555/8598. Bears below 8370 can move back towards 8270-8250 range.

Happy Investing…..
