Global Economic News:
Yellen testifies on Capitol Hill
US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen testified on monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee this week as markets continued to digest the Fed's recently announced balance sheet reduction plans. Chair Yellen reiterated that the Fed expects a tightening labor market to lead to increased inflation, despite recent weak inflation data. She added, however, that the Fed may change course from its policy plans if needed. Last month, the central bank raised rates for the third time since December 2016.
China inflation running Low
The United States is not the only region experiencing low inflation. China's consumer price index was reported at 1.5%, missing a 3% target. Its producer price index was reported at 5.5%, which was in line with expectations. It is worth noting that the slowdown in inflation is consistent with the slowdown in inflation in the US and many other countries. It is occurring as policymakers in the US, Canada and eurozone are all moving, or signaling that they will move, away from the low-interest-rate environment of recent years.
Bank of Canada raises rates
The Bank of Canada raised rates by a quarter of a percentage point to .75% while suggesting that monetary policy will remain accommodative for the foreseeable future. Of concern is the stability of the housing market, where prices have risen rapidly in recent years, particularly in areas such as Toronto and Vancouver, where prices have doubled since 2009.

MARKET OUTLOOK:
Due to yesterday's move, we are now at a touching distance from 9900. We must accept the fact that we were unable to catch last 140 points on the index as we generally avoid chasing extended moves in the market. We would still continue with this strategy and would keep advising booking index specific longs in this rally. The main reason behind not participating in such kind of extended moves is we have historically seen how market surprises in the last leg of the euphoric moves. But, at the same time, one can look to find potential trades in individual stocks. Now, since the index is an uncharted territory, it becomes very difficult to give upside levels; but, 9900 - 9920 should be the levels to watch out for on a closing basis. On the other hand, 9850 - 9800 would be seen as an immediate support zone.
Other technical observations
Bearish below 9610 only. As per time cycle till 9787 is held bulls can push nifty towards the scarocant figure of 10000 by 30 July. Low made today was 9853 so nifty opened gap up above 9830 and rallied all the way till 9897, now bulls are holding 9830 we can move towards 9936/9961/10000. Bearish below 9792 for a move towards 9700/9610. Time cycle turn date of 12 July again helped in capturing good move in market. Till 9820 is held bulls are in control, bulls are in control and can push nifty towards 9936/9961/10000. Bearish below 9792 for a move towards 9700/9610

Normal rainfall in most parts of India, retail inflation falling to eight months low, hopes of rate cut in the upcoming RBI policy meet in August and dovish statements from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen lifted the Indian equity market to scale fresh all time high.
