Nifty (-60, 10828): Dalal Street was again swooned in Tuesday’ trade.
The benchmark Nifty witnessed further setback and most importantly, for the third day in a row amidst deteriorating technical conditions.
The negative takeaway from today’s trade was that bears continued to dominate despite optimism a theme at worldwide stock markets over potential for China-U.S. trade deal. At the time of writing Dow Jones futures were seen trading with solid gains as lawmakers reach tentative shutdown deal.
Now technically speaking, and judging by today’s price action at Dalal Street, the benchmark Nifty slip further towards its crucial make-or-break support at 10778 mark. Buying on dips could be the preferred strategy for aggressive bullish traders only if 10778 support holds 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.
Now before we sign off for the day, let’s look at major instruments.

IMPORTANT THEMES FOR THE DAY:
In today’s session, traders’ full focus would be on the macro numbers to be released.
IIP data: The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) print for the month of December will be released on Tuesday. IIP growth stood at 0.47% in November, with the high base of last year contributing to the slowdown. A disappointing IIP data may not augur well for our stock markets.
Inflation print: All anxious eyes will be on the retail & wholesale inflation prints for the month of January 2019 to be released on Tuesday & Thursday respectively. Lower fuel prices had eased India’s retail inflation in December to 2.19% from the annual rate of 2.33% in November. The annual rate of inflation, based on monthly WPI, stood at 3.80% for the month of December 2018 as compared to 4.64% for November. Recently, the RBI cut its repo rate by 25 basis points considering the benign inflation level.
Amongst global economic data, China’s inflation data for January will be keenly watched this week.
