We suspect, dark clouds will continue to hover at Dalal Street as investors will be unable to quell their fears over U.S-China trade and sluggish global growth backdrop.
To put it straight, ‘Cash will be king — until we can knock off U.S-China trade issues from the front pages’. Immediate downside risk on Nifty seen at 10901-10911 zone. Buying advised only above 11125 mark on Nifty.

A rough session seen at Dalal Street as investors are unable to quell their fears over U.S-China trade relations and global growth. Amidst this backdrop, investors are preferring to taking money off the table.
At the time of writing, Europe too was seen picking up the selling baton from Asia after U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks that he has no plans to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping before a March 1 trade-deal deadline.
Trump’s stance is likely to rattle sentiments and investors nerves; amidst this backdrop leveraged long positions not advisable. Buying advised only above 11125 mark on Nifty.
Well, if benchmark Nifty has to climb from current higher levels then a quick resolution needed in the 11-month old longstanding trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

1. The Bank of England and the European Commission offering downbeat outlooks, reaffirming growing fears about the health of Europe’s economy.
2. White House Adviser Larry Kudlow (President Donald Trump’s national economic council director) who said a “sizable distance” remains between the U.S. and China in protracted trade negotiations.
3. Media reports reigniting U.S.-China trade war fears, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping were unlikely to meet before a March 1 deadline for tariffs to increase on Chinese goods.
4. Among the culprits for warning about sluggish global growth is also weak German industrial data which released on Thursday.
Well, unless U.S and China negotiators come to a new agreement, the U.S. is expected to raise import taxes from 10% to 25% for $200 billion in Chinese goods. This is the biggest headwind for worldwide stock markets at the moment.
Against this backdrop, it will be difficult for the benchmark Nifty to move past its biggest resistance at 11,125 mark.
