INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields have inched up. A further rise from here can ease the downside pressure and take the yields higher. The German yields have risen back thereby reducing the danger of seeing more fall. A strong follow-through rise from here will be very bullish. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI are holding higher and are keeping up the bullish view intact. There is room for more rise.

The US 10Yr (4.06%) and the 30Yr (4.23%) has inched up slightly. We repeat, the 10Yr has to sustain above 4% to break 4.2% and rise to 4.3%. The 30Yr can test 4.3% from here.

The German 10Yr (2.60%) and the 30Yr (2.69%) yields are rising back. A strong follow-through rise from here will be bullish to see 3%-3.1% on the 10Yr and 30Yr.

The 10Yr GoI (7.1981%) sustains higher. Bullish view is intact to break 7.2% and rise to 7.3%-7.35%. Supports are at 7.18% and 7.14%.

STOCKS

Shanghai can come down to test 3225.

Dow (35473.13, +1.16%) has risen back sharply thereby reducing the danger of the fall to 34500 mentioned yesterday. A sustained rise above 35600 will negate the same and will open the doors to see 36000.

DAX (15950.76, -0.01%) holds above 15800 but is stable. As mentioned yesterday a strong follow-through rise above 16000 from here will negate the danger of falling to 15500 and take it up to 16200-16400 again

Nifty (19597.30, +0.41%) has moved up. However, a strong break above 19700 is needed to open the doors for 20000 and negate the danger of falling to 19200-19000.

Nikkei (32377.50, +0.35%) has bounced back from a low of 31830 contrary to our view for a test of 31500. If the bounce sustains, it may rise towards 33500.

Shanghai (3253.06, -0.48%) is attempting to break below the lower end of the 3250-3325 range. A decisive break below 3250 could lead to a fall towards 3225.
