In early action, the benchmark Nifty witnessed a gap down start — sank below 10,750 mark, recovered and bounced back at midday — slightly above the dotted lines, and then finally ended the day down in red at 10,832.
Net-net, we would say, we started the day on the wrong foot, but came back to life. Honestly speaking, this kind of whiplash are typical especially after reports that IAF jets struck terror camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Interestingly, Asia too was seen bucking a positive overnight trend at Wall Street on no new reports of major progress in ongoing U.S.-China trade talks. This also snapped enthusiasm in mainland China that had soared on Monday.
Europe was also in red on the news that U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May has delayed a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal. We suspect, the roller coaster ride on Dalal Street to resume on Wednesday.
Amidst these myriad of headwinds, establishing long positions only above Nifty 10921 mark should be the preferred strategy.
