INTEREST RATES

The US Treasury yields have come down again and are poised near their crucial support. Failure to get a strong and sustained bounce from here can drag them lower this week. The German yields are coming down towards their key supports in line with our expectation. There is little room left on the downside and a reversal is possible going forward. The 10Yr and 5Yr GoI remains mixed and can continue to oscillate within their narrow range.

The US 10Yr (4.40%) and the 30Yr (4.54%) yields have come down to their crucial support. A fall below 4.4% can take the 10Yr down to 4.3%-4.2%. The 30Yr can fall to 4.4%-4.35% on a break below 4.5%.

The German 10Yr (2.55%) and the 30Yr (2.75%) are coming down towards 2.5% and 2.7% respectively. A fresh leg of upmove is possible after testing the mentioned levels.

The 10Yr GoI (7.2704%) and 5Yr GOI (7.2629%) remains stuck within their 7.2%-7.3% range. Outlook is mixed. We will have to wait for the range breakout to get clarity.

STOCKS

Dow Jones needs to overcome its immediate resistance to avoid a fall back. DAX outlook is bullish as long as it holds above 15900-15800. Nifty has to breach 19850 decisively to strengthen its bullish momentum. Nikkei is stuck in a range. Shanghai looks bearish for the near term.

Dow (35333.47, -0.16%) has dipped slightly. Failure to rise past 35500 from here can drag it below 35000 towards 34500 and lower in the coming days. Price action in the next few days is going to be important.

DAX (15966.37, -0.39%) has support at 15900-15800. While they hold, the bullish outlook will remain intact to breach 16000 and rise to 16500-16600.

Nifty (19794.70, -0.04%) has to breach 19850 decisively to move up towards 20000. Supports are there in the broad 19700-19500 region while above which the bias continues to remain bullish.

Nikkei (33338, -0.33%) has come down below 33500 and looks range bound within 34000-33000. The mentioned range may continue to hold for a few sessions until a decisive break is seen on either side of the range.

Shanghai (3034.48, +0.09%) is attempting to break below the lower end of the 3025-3100 range. It may fall towards 3000 or even lower to 2950. Upside looks capped at 3050.

COMMODITIES

Crude prices look bearish to fall towards their respective supports. Gold has entered into its crucial resistance zone. Need to see if that can halt the current rally or not. Silver has broken above it key resistance and if the break sustains, a further rise can be seen in the near term. Copper remains bearish while below 3.85. Natural Gas needs to rise past 2.95-3.00 to strengthen its momentum.

Brent ($ 80.27) is inching lower. Outlook is bearish for a fall towards $ 77 .

WTI ($ 75.28) looks bearish for a fall towards $ 72-71. Thereafter we might expect a reversal towards $ 78-80.

Gold (2017) has entered into the key resistance zone of 2020-2025 as expected. A break above 2025 can take it higher towards 2050. Else it can fall back towards 1980-1975.

Silver (24.73) has risen breaking above the resistance at 24.60 (revised from 24.70). While the break sustains above 24.60/50, a further rise towards 25.40-25.50 can be seen.

Copper (3.7645) appears range bound within 3.80-3.74. But while it remains below 3.85, a dip to 3.72-3.70 cannot be negated.

Natural Gas (2.9770) tested 3.0950 well above our expected level of 3.0-3.05 before retreating to a low of 2.8670. It is now rising back from there. A break above 2.95-3.00 can open doors towards 3.10 or higher.
