15:40 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Markets end in red
Indian benchmark indices ended lower today with Nifty below 17,350 amid selling across the sectors barring FMCG. Here’s a current status of markets
– Post peaking out at ~18K mid-August, markets are now at around 17300 levels.
– IT sector has seen more pain than other sectors on fears of weaker economic growth given the hawkish stance of the FED and the firm resolve to control inflation in the US.
– The US market had rallied ~18% over mid-June -mid August on the expectation that the US rate hike trajectory would be more measured going ahead. But the message last Friday belied these hopes. This was unexpected and hence globally markets have seen weakness today.
– This weakness has been accentuated by the fact that the USDINR rate moved to a new low today accompanied by the dollar index hitting a new multi-year high and the US 10 year seeing a sharp spike this month over the preceding month.
– The immediate fallout of this could be a reversal of the solid FPI inflows seen this month.
– Our market has already digested a fair share of the global weakness which began around 10 months back. We believe a systematic allocation to equities is the best way to navigate these alternate bouts of market decline and recovery.

14:42 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Crude oil prices to trade sideways to up
“Crude oil prices traded lower with benchmark NYMEX WTI crude oil prices were trading 0.81% up near $93.78 per barrel on Monday. Crude oil prices rose as expectations OPEC will cut output if needed to support prices, conflict in Libya, and rising demand amid soaring natural gas prices in Europe helped offset a dire outlook for growth in the United States. We expect crude oil prices to trade sideways to up with resistance at $96 per barrel with support at $92 per barrel. MCX Crude oil September contract has important support at Rs 7380 and resistance at Rs 7590 per barrel.”

14:32 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Emerging market flows can see erratic movement
“Overall emerging market flows can see erratic movement, if UST and dollar index rises out of the comfort zone. In the short term, most of the emerging market central banks and ECB will have to follow the FED and increase rates to protect their currency and stay away from imported inflation. The Fed and ECB will increase rates further, but they will need to be watchful of the repercussions on growth, which will be visible in years to come. What matters now, more than the rate hike is the tapering of the central bank’s bloated balance sheets. The FED is tapering its assets at a much less pace than planned. Eventually, quantitative tightening, rising rates and the global slowdown will put pressure on central banks in the later part of CY23 or early CY24, and possibly have to act accordingly then.”

14:32 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 India market to remain resilient
“A hawkish speech by Powell pours cold water on the risk-on sentiment in the global markets, with the possible strengthening of the US dollar and the rebound in the UST 10 Yield. However, so far, we haven’t seen any sharp uptick in the US treasury and dollar index post the announcement and hence are not super bearish on the markets. The Indian market will remain resilient and at worst, can remain in the consolidation phase for some time, until the dust settles. We believe FIIs will be watchful and won’t immediately stop buying Indian stocks.”

14:25 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Investors with long-term view should utilize increased volatility to increase exposure to equities
“The Indian markets are following the movement of global markets after the hawkish US Fed President’s speech at Jackson Hole. On the ECB front, too, there are now rumors that the Sept 2022 policy might see a 75 bps interest rate increase along with QT, which is also adding to the pressure. With terminal rate expectations in the US topping 4%, we believe that the near-term volatility might increase in the equity markets, even though global economic indicators might weaken since the US Fed indicated a willingness to pursue further tightening for a longer period to slay inflation, leading to slower growth and higher unemployment. Investors with a long-term view should utilize the increased volatility to increase exposure to equities. Traders can be on the sidelines till stability is restored.”

14:13 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Rupee well cushioned at 81.10 mark
“The surge seen in crude oil prices amid expectations that OPEC and allies could cut output to restore market balance is weighing on the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Going forward, market participants shall focus on the key US jobs report as well as the domestic Q1 GDP data to get further cues about the rupee movement. The domestic currency still looks to remain well cushioned at the 81.10 mark and unless we see the rupee breaching the crucial 80.10 mark on a closing basis, it looks primed to reverse course and trade with an appreciation bias,”

14:12 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Rupee slumps following strength in dollar index
“The Indian rupee has slumped to test fresh lows of 80.1250 in today’s session following significant strength seen in the dollar Index towards two-decade highs. The Fed chair Jerome Powell adopted a hawkish stance at the Jackson Hole symposium and indicated a continued tightening path to tackle soaring inflation, which has spurred buying interest in the greenback. Weak economic data from the European region is also supporting the advance in the dollar. Besides, risk-averse sentiments and steep correction in domestic equities have added to the rupee woes,”

Now till the index holds 17300 and holds momentum, it can move to 17442 and 17550 zones whereas on the lower side the supports can be placed at 17250 and 17150. Market breadth is favouring the declining counters which indicates some sort of pause at higher zones.”

10:50 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Further downside of INR to be limited
“The rupee is under pressure in today’s trading session due to the hawkish commentary of the Fed chairman announced at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. The fight to tame inflation is expected to continue in the distant future and the rate hikes are expected to put pressure on the rupee and other emerging market currencies. However, due to the better-than-expected economic growth trajectory of India and less severity of inflation compared to its peers, INR has fared better than other currencies. Further, the signs of FII’s and FPI’s return are visible. Thus we expect the further downside of the INR to be limited; it might bottom out at around 80.5 to 81 levels.”

10:18 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Avoid fresh longs in Nifty index and book profits in trading bets
“On the technical front, Nifty formed an indecisive doji after a small fall hence one can expect rangebound moves ahead with high volatility. Nifty in the weekly time frame has breached the previous week’s which is the first sign of exhaustion. At present juncture one need to avoid trading aggressively amid global nervousness. US Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated hawkish stance on interest rate hike denting nascent hopes for a more modest path of policy tightening. Thus, it would be sensible if one avoid fresh longs in index and book profits in trading bets. Considering the present situation, a bare minimum correction of 38.6% of the entire rally from 15,183 to 17,992 comes around 16900 followed by 50% correction at 16600. On the upside Nifty need to sustain above 17,350 with some authority for the bulls to strengthen their stance,”

The Nifty has seen a sharp sell-off from the levels of 17992. There were three days sell-off of till 17345. It is the first indication of resistance in place near 18000 levels and any bounce below 18000 levels can be utilized to go short. If one like to wait for confirmations one needs to wait for the levels of 17345 to get penetrated. In case 17345 gets penetrated then one can see the resumption of the bear trend and the current bear market rally come to halt. As far as RSI(14) and 9 EMA of the same is started moving below 70 levels. The super trend (8,2) is also shifted above the current bars. So, there are multiple indications that the bears may take charge very soon.

“USDINR is on a strong wicket, with such a positive USD backdrop. A strong US Dollar Index, high US bond yields with an deeply inverted yield curve and weak equity markets all makes it challenging for FPI and carry trade flows in EMs. However, the speed of the up move will be closely regulated by RBI. RBI has twin objectives of not letting the Rupee become a weak outlier and also, they do not want the USDINR to become too volatile. This means they may continue to sell USD as the spot and forwards moves to a fresh all-time high. However, this may not alter the trajectory of the pair and the path of least resistance would remain upward. We expect a range of 79.70 and 80.50 over the next 1-2 weeks.”

09:35 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Buy on dip texture of market unlikely to hold
“Markets expected Powell to remain hawkish at Jackson Hole but the ultra-hawkish tone of the Fed chief’s message and his warnings that Fed’s policy will “cause some pain to households and businesses” and this is “the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation” were not expected and factored-in by the markets. The 17% rally in S&P 500 from mid June to mid August was mainly driven by expectation that with declining inflation Fed would pivot towards lower interest rates by early 2023. This expectation has been belied by Powell’s message that rates will go up and remain there for ‘sometime’. The sharp rise in the Dollar index above 109 and the 10-year bond yield spiking to 3.1% are negative for capital flows to EMs like India. FPIs are unlikely to continue buying in India in this scenario. The ‘buy on dips’ texture of the market is unlikely to hold. Investors should not rush in to buy the dips now. Better wait for the dust to settle.”

Powell stated that failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain. Technically, Nifty’s biggest make-or-break support is at 17345 mark.

08:36 (IST) 29 Aug 2022 Ultra-hawkish stance of Fed at Jackson Hole a short-term negative for equity markets
“FPIs continued to buy equities in August in spite of rise in US bond yields and rising Dollar. In August, as per NSDL data FPIs bought equity worth Rs 45346 crore through the stock exchange till 26th August. They were buyers in the cash market too in all days of August except three. FPIs are now buying stocks of financials, capital goods, FMCG and telecom. The fact that FPIs are buying in India even amidst strengthening dollar is a reflection of their vote of confidence in the Indian economy. The ultra-hawkish stance of the Fed at Jackson Hole is a short-term negative for equity markets. This might impact FPI flows in the short-term.”
