Our call of the day: News from the border, the U.S-China trade front and the Federal Reserve minutes, due on Wednesday, will help decide whether Dalal Street can rebound from current oversold conditions. Confidence will be knocked only if Nifty slips below 10583 mark.
Our chart of the day: suggests establishing short positions in stocks BEML, BHARAT FORGE and SRF with interweek perspective.
• Oil continues to trade firm on Saudi and OPEC cuts, now at $56 a barrel.
• The technical, fundamental and sentimental landscape at Dalal Street is deteriorating each passing day at Dalal Street. The fall is an almost straight line lower.
The benchmark Nifty in a span of just eight trading sessions has tanked from 11125 peak to 10605 valley. To put it dramatically, the benchmark Nifty from a newlywed has become a widow in less than eight trading sessions — the highest high of 2019 to the lowest closing low of 2019.
Honestly speaking, the gyan mantra to stay afloat in a volatile market like this is to keep books light on buy side.
Technically, fortunes on the buy side only if Nifty holds and rebounds from its key at Jan 2019 lows at 10,583. Confirmation of strength only if Nifty moves above 10801 mark.
