The US markets moved up yesterday. The  European markets also rallied.

The Asian markets are trading higher.

The U.S. Futures and European futures are trading slightly in the red.

SGX NIFTY is trading at 17,800 indicating a flat to gap-up opening.

NIFTY has supports at 17,720, 17,650 and 17,580. We can expect resistances at 17,800, 17,915, 17,970 and 18,000.

BANK NIFTY has supports at  41,100, 41,000 and 40,700. Resistances are at 41,400, 41,600, 41,800 and 42,000.

FIN NIFTY has supports at 18,340, 18,250 and 18,110. Resistances are at 18,450, 18,550 and 18,660.

INDIA VIX spiked to 13.7.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-bought shares worth Rs 1,300 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors also net-bought shares worth 500 crores.

The day-candle in NIFTY ended red yesterday after three green candles formed though the last two were dojis. Yesterday’s support was at the close of 7th February.

The Adani group fell yesterday after they cut their revenue growth by 50%. Adani Enterprises will release its quarterly results today.

India’s CPI report was a shock as we were expecting the data at around 5.9% from the previous month’s 5.7%. But the figure came out at 6.52%. This unexpected surge may lead to negativity in the markets amid global positivity. The base effect could have been one reason for this spike. Food prices played a role.

US inflation will be out today. And this is going to be more important than India’s CPI. There will be uncertainty in the market and the overnight positional traders will have to be more careful.

It is FIN NIFTY expiry today. 18,400 has been the point of highest put OI build-up and there is a support at 18,340. 18,450 and 18,550 are the levels to watch on the upside.

The global cues are neutral to positive with the US markets moving higher and the other markets following them but Japan’s economic data came out weak. With an unexpected spike in inflation and oil prices rising, we cannot say that the local factors are positive.

I will watch 17,720 on the downside in NIFTY. 17,800 can be watched on the upside.
