INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields have risen sharply after the US employment rate increased to 3.8% in August from 3.5% in July. The broader outlook is bullish, and the yields can rise more. The German yields have risen back well. Bullish outlook is intact. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI are stuck in a narrow range. They look vulnerable to test their supports first before the broader uptrend resumes.

The US 10Yr (4.18%) and the 30Yr (4.29%) yields have risen sharply. The broader picture is bullish to see 4.5%-4.6% (10Yr) and 4.6%-4.7% (30Yr) on the upside while above 4.1%-4% (10Yr) and 4.2%-4.1% (30Yr).

The German 10Yr (2.54%) and the 30Yr (2.68%) yields have risen back again and are keeping up the bullish view intact for a rise to 3%-3.1%. Support is at 2.4% (10Yr) and 2.5% (30Yr)

The 10Yr GoI (7.1671%) and 5Yr GOI (7.1673%) were stuck in a narrow range last week. They look vulnerable to test 7.15%-7.13% (10Yr) and 7.13%-7.1% (5Yr) first on the downside and then see a fresh rise towards 7.35% (10Yr) and 7.45% (5Yr) eventually.

STOCKS

Dow Jones and Nikkei are bullish. DAX is struggling to breach 16000. Nifty has risen sharply but it has to rise past 19500 to bring back the bullishness. Shanghai may rise towards 3175.

Dow (34837.71, +0.33%) is bullish. But a dip to 34500-34400 can be seen first before a break above 35000 and a rise to 35500-35800 happens.

DAX (15840.34, -0.67%) is struggling to breach 16000. The danger of the fall to 15500-15400-15200 will come back into the picture on a fall below 15800. A strong rise past 16000 is needed to negate the fall and turn bullish for 16400-16500.

Nifty (19435.30, +0.94%) has risen back sharply on Friday. It is getting support around 19200 which is reducing the chances of seeing 19100-19000. A strong rise past 19500 could bring back the bullishness and will pave the way for 19800-20000.

Nikkei (32790, +0.19%) is on its way to test 33000-33200 on the upside. It has to break above 33200 to move up towards 33500 or higher. Else a fall towards 32000 cannot be negated.

Shanghai (3150.21, +0.54%) has risen further. It may rise towards 3175. Overall a broad range of 3225-3075 may hold for some time.

COMMODITIES

Brent has entered into key resistance zone of $ 89 whereas WTI has risen, breaking above the resistance at $ 85. Gold and Copper ran into their key resistance at 1980 and 3.90 and has dipped from there. Silver remains lower and looks vulnerable to fall further in the near term. Natural gas outlook will remain bullish while above the support at 2.68-2.60.

Brent ($ 88.55) has risen sharply towards the resistance at $ 89 as expected. If $ 89 holds, a corrective dip towards $ 85 can be seen. Else view can turn further bullish for a rise towards $ 90-90.50.

WTI ($ 85.67) has risen sharply, breaking above the resistance at $ 85. While this break sustains, a further rise towards $ 88 or $ 90 can be seen in the near term.

Gold (1968.10) is holding well below the resistance at 1980. Failure to break above 1980 can drag it to down 1940. A strong rise past 1980 is needed to open doors towards 2020.

Silver (24.49) is attempting to break below the support at 24.50. It may come down to 24 or even lower to 23.50.

Copper (3.85) tested the resistance at 3.90 in line with expectation and has come off from there. While it remains below 3.90, a fall towards 3.80-3.70 is possible.

Natural Gas (2.6730) has declined towards 2.65. Support is at 2.6-2.5. While it remains above 2.6/2.5, bias is positive for a rise towards 3.0 in the near term.
