U.S Markets view before opening bell


Us Futures are signalling a positive start after the sell off yesterday. European markets are trading with a negative bias for the second day in a row. Main reason for the worry is the weak U.S. housing data which questines the global economic growth. 

The federal reserve will release a statement after the two day meeting on policy, it is expected to keep the interest rate near zero for an extended perieod of time. They have to consider the situation in europe while deciding on policy because the debt worries of Europe will have negative impact. The financial markets may move in a sideways fashion till the statement is released.

But The positive sentiments that we saw two day's back due to chinese currency situation was completely reversed because of the weak housing data from united states.

Nifty daily chart analysis


  • Nifty's daily candle yesterday ended in red showing some weakness.
  • But one look at the 5 DAY high ema will give the bulls confidence yesterday although a negative day still managed to close above the high ema.
  • Now as nifty is trading close to the recent high's one should expect some correction. Global markets mostly ended in red yesterday.
  • Dow Jones closed below its 200 DMA yesterday after holding on to it for 5 days. So if it does not come above the 200 DMA tonight one can expect good correction in US markets. Nifty may not look as weak as Dow Jones but since Dow is the leading indicator for world markets if it goes down it will be negative to range bound for nifty.
