12:16 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 On the upside Nifty may head towards 17900
On the technical front, Nifty formed a long bull candle on the daily chart breaching past the crucial resistance zone of 17500 indicating that positive biasness to continue and more upside is awaited. However, momentum oscillators are witnessing overbought levels, but no signs of exhaustion can be seen yet, the indicator though has flattened during the period. On the downside the psychological level of 17000 which further coincides with the 200dma would be the immediate short term trend deciding level for the market. On the upside one can eventually expect Nifty to head towards 17900 levels as it is 80% retracement of entire decline off October 2021 to June low (18600-15200). Thus, any temporary breather should not be construed as negative instead buy on dips strategy should remain in focus. Tirthankar Das, Technical & Derivative Analyst, Retail, Ashika Stock Broking

10:01 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session ahead of US inflation report
Crude oil settled lower on Tuesday even as Russia suspended oil exports through the Druzhba pipeline via Ukraine. Oil was also down as the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a surprise build this week for the crude oil of 2.156 million barrels, while analysts predicted a draw of 400,000 barrels. On the other hand, surging covid-19 cases in China once again raised concerns of lower oil demand in the coming days. OPEC+ nations are also gradually increasing their oil outputs even as global industrial activities have been slowing down due to covid-19 and geo-political tensions thus impacting global oil demand. The U.S. inflation report will also be in focus today, which also gives directions to the global commodity prices. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session ahead of the U.S. inflation data and oil inventory. Crude oil has support at $88.40–86.50 and resistance at $91.80–93.20. In INR terms crude oil has support at Rs7,080-6,940 while resistance is at Rs7,360–7,480.

09:59 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Precious metals to remain volatile to negative
“The $1,800 psychological level for gold remains elusive ahead of a critical inflation report due on Wednesday from the US calendar which could be crucial for the yellow metal, US dollar and US bond yields. On the other hand, a stronger-than-expected reading could underpin U.S. Treasury yields, driving more traders towards the dollar and denting most metal markets. We expect precious metals to remain volatile to negative in today’s session and if it continues to sustain below $1800 per troy ounce it could show further weakness towards $1772-7155 per troy ounce; $1810 acts as major resistance for Gold. Gold has support at $1772-1760, while resistance at $1805-1816 per troy ounce. In INR terms gold has support at Rs 52040-51,810, while resistance is at Rs52,420–52,540.”

09:18 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Investors eyeing US monthly inflation data
Domestic stocks are likely to drift lower in early trades Wednesday, in sync with the overnight fall in the US markets and subsequent fall in other Asian indices. Investors will be eyeing the US monthly inflation data to be announced overnight, with the street suspecting the CPI report could move back below 9%. Hotter CPI figures will reinforce the need for a super-sized rate hike by the Fed at its next meeting, which could simply lift the dollar and bring back bears in the equity markets across the global stock markets. Another biggest negative catalyst at the moment is that the US yield curve has steepened. The gap between the 2-year and 10-year note yields is the widest in over two decades, reflecting the market’s lingering concerns.

09:00 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Rupee may start slightly higher, USDINR pair could consolidate between 78.40 to 78.75
Indian rupee could start slightly higher after Monday’s fall of more than half a percentage point following higher crude oil prices and stronger dollar demands. On Tuesday, the Indian forex market remained closed on account of Muharram. The forward markets indicate USDINR could open with a loss of 5-7 paise but may consolidate in a narrow range ahead of US Inflation data. USDINR pair could consolidate between 78.40 to 78.75 in today’s session.
All eyes will be on the US CPI report, coming in the American session, as markets are palpably nervous that it will yet again surprise the upside even as most investors are positioned for July inflation to ease down noticeably from June’s 9.1% annual pace. US CPI data may show a slowdown in July to 8.7%, which is still too fast for the Fed. Month on month.

08:56 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Sensex and Nifty unlikely to surpass previous highs as valuations have become expensive
“The rally in stock markets is not India-specific. Nasdaq has rebounded 19.4% from the June lows and S&P 500 has rebounded 13.3% from the June lows. So, Nifty’s rebound of 15.4% from the June lows is in tune with the global trend. A major positive for India is that FIIs, who were relentless sellers from October 2021 to June 2022, have turned buyers in July and the buying momentum continues in August with net buying of Rs 13,801 crore till 8th August. FIIs have turned buyers mainly because the dollar has stopped appreciating and started depreciating. (Dollar index has declined from above 109 to 106). Sensex and Nifty are unlikely to surpass the previous highs because valuations have become expensive and, therefore, there will be selling pressure at higher levels. Nifty is now trading at around 20 times FY 23 estimated earnings. High valuation will cap the rally.

08:36 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Asian Markets in red

South Korea’s KOSPI lost 0.64%, Australia’s AXJO dropped 0.12%, and Taiwan’s TAIEX fell 0.70%.
08:33 (IST) 10 Aug 2022 Nifty support at 17400; resistance at 17650-17700
“On Monday, despite a small blip in early trades, bulls quickly rejuvenated and maintained their stranglehold even as other Asian peers ended mixed. FIIs, which were missing from the action over the past few months, have once again started taking exposure to local equities, thus providing a major impetus to the markets. Technically, after a muted opening, the market successfully cleared the short term resistance of 17500 which is broadly positive. Bullish candle on daily charts and intraday breakout formation is indicating a further uptrend from the current levels. For benchmark Nifty, the key support level is 17400 and above which, the breakout formation is likely to continue till 17650-17700. On the other hand, below 17400, the index could slip till 17325-17300.”
