Global Markets:
Fears of Covid-19, a US debt default, and the meltdown of Chinese property giant Evergrande hammered major Wall Street indices in Monday trading, sending them decisively lower.
The two-day Federal Reserve meeting beginning Tuesday is another source of uncertainty, as the central bank could announce changes to its stimulus policies.
Traders also remain concerned about the economic impacts of Covid-19, which continues to spread across the country at high rates. Wall Street fell in a broad sell-off yesterday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq suffering their biggest daily percentage drops since May. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 614.41 points, or 1.78%, to 33,970.47, the S&P 500 lost 75.26 points, or 1.70%, to 4,357.73 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 330.07 points, or 2.19%, to 14,713.90.
Japan’s Nikkei fell 2.0%, resuming trade after a market holiday on Monday while MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 0.2%. MSCI’s ACWI shed 0.13%, a day after the gauge of the world’s 50 stock markets lost 1.63%, its biggest decline in two months.
Indian Market:
Trends on the SGX Nifty indicate a small gap up opening to open around 17400. However, I feel it may not be sustained with such weak global cues. However, let's watch 17300 as the next good support followed by 17250.
