Market Mantra Trump rhetoric irks global markets into correction mode as treasury yields rise while US$ falls!!
Asian markets opened weak as overnight globally we saw a big sell off with equities losing ground. The sentiment turned negative as President Trump's rhetoric on immigration ban across 7 countries saw both Corporate & diplomatic sources give a big thumbs down to the same.US$ weakened while yields hardened while gold prices rebounded.The Dow Jones after being down over 222 recovered in the last hour to end down 122 for the session.
Nifty may also see weakness creep in as with the Union Budget to be announced tomorrow investors would tend to book profit after the heady rally of the last fortnight.For once after November & the double whammy of Trump victory & local 'demonetization' Indian markets seem the best to be against the weak global back drop with expectations that the budget could be path breaking & stroke the necessary kick start to the economy.For today expect caution to be the buzzword as strong bouts of volatility see both sided movements on the Nifty.
Technical view: Nifty will face resistance around 8700 while 8580-8600 will act as strong support.Bank Nifty also finds resistance around 19800 while 19350 acts as strong support.
