Good Morning Everyone,

As discussed in the Post-market report yesterday, today is the weekly expiry, we can expect some volatility in the market. If you have not read it, you can read it by clicking here. Hints of the same are already seen as trends on SGX nifty indicate a negative start of the index with a gap-down at around 15830-15840.

Global Markets:

US Dow Future slipped 0.1%. Both S&P 500, Nasdaq post record closing highs after Fed minutes. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields fell to a 5-month low at 1.27% after falling for seven trading days as inflation expectations continued to ease.

Asian stocks open steady, following gains for U.S. shares & Treasuries as the Federal Reserve minutes showed policymakers still awaiting more evidence of a robust economic recovery to set a timeline for trimming bond purchases.

Indian Market:

Trends on SGX nifty hints at a muted start for the Nifty at about 40 points below yesterday's close. But as I always say, a muted start for the day can avoid profit booking and hence at times help support moving up the ladder. But then of course our biggest resistance being 15900, Let us wait excitedly for Nifty to race past that.
