Market Opens:
It is weak start for the Indian indices on Monday with Nifty below 11,400 level.
At 09:16 hrs IST, the Sensex is down 323.35 points at 37841.26, while Nifty is down 92 points at 11,364.90. About 224 shares have advanced, 562 shares declined, and 46 shares are unchanged.
Godrej Properties, Voltas, Jet Airways, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Hindalco, Yes Bank, JSW Steel, DLF, Sobha, Godrej Properties, Zee Entertainment, RIL, ICICI Bank, are among major gaienrs on the indices, while losers are IOC, Coal India, Dhampur Sugar and Balrampur Chini.
All the sectoral indices are trading in red led by PSU bank, pharma, metal, auto, FMCG and energy.
Technically now we view climbs in Nifty with suspicion and some downside to 11,367-11,291 is not ruled out, while stiff resistance exists at 11,649.
For Nifty Bank some downside to 29,407-29,036 is a possibility and stiff resistance exists at 30,000-30,324
Rupee Opens:
The Indian rupee slipped in the early trade on Monday. It has opened lower by 11 paise at 69.06 per dollar on Monday versus Friday's close 68.95.
Global Markets :
Global stocks tumble, bonds rally as US recession risk flashes 'amber'.
US stocks futures turned negative in early Asian trading with E-minis for the S&P 500 skidding 0.5 percent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 0.6 percent to a one-week low.
Japan's Nikkei tumbled 2.9 percent, South Korea's Kospi index declined 1.5 percent while Australian shares faltered 1.3 percent.
On Friday, all three major US stock indexes registered their biggest one-day percentage losses since Jan.3 with the Dow sliding 1.8 percent, the S&P 500 off 1.9 percent and the Nasdaq dropping 2.5 percent.
Concerns about the health of the world economy heightened last week after cautious remarks by the US Federal Reserve sent 10-year treasury yields to the lowest since early 2018.
Asian markets trade weak:
Investors dumped shares on Monday and fled to the safety of bonds while the Japanese yen hovered near a six-week high as risk assets fell out of favour on growing worries about an impending U.S. recession, sending global yields plunging.
SGX Nifty:
Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for the broader indices in India, a fall of 48 points or 0.42 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 11,422-level on the Singaporean Exchange.
Crude Update:
Oil prices dropped on Monday as concerns of a sharp economic slowdown outweighed supply disruptions from OPEC’s production cutbacks and US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela.
US crude fell 33 cents to USD 58.71 per barrel. Brent crude futures eased 24 cents to USD 66.79.
POLITICAL HEADWINDS
Much of the concerns around global growth is stemming from Europe and China which are battling separate tariff wars with the United States.
Politics was also in focus in the United States and Britain.
A nearly two-year US investigation found no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump's election team and Russia, in a major political victory for the U.S. President.
The long-awaited Mueller report into whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to help Trump defeat his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, marked a major milestone of his presidency as he prepares for his 2020 re-election battle.
Political turmoil in Britain over the country's exit from the European Union also remains a drag on risk assets.
On Sunday, Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper said in a front page editorial British Prime Minister Theresa May must announce on Monday she will stand down as soon as her Brexit deal is approved.
The British pound was a shade lower at USD 1.3189 after three straight days of wild gyrations. The currency slipped 0.7 percent last week.
In currency markets, the Japanese yen - a perceived safe haven - held near its highest since Feb. 11. It was last flat at 109.95 per dollar.
The Australian dollar, a liquid proxy for risk play, was down for its third straight session of losses at USD 0.7073.
Domestic Markets :
Nifty could hit 12k before elections; if ruling party wins it may touch 13,000.
The only threat to the domestic investors is if there is no 2nd term for PM Modi which will definitely have a knee jerk reaction to the market.
