Global markets at a glance
US stocks fell on Tuesday as excitement over the likelihood
of a tax code revamp was offset by concern over its effect
on years of monetary policy stimulus and the future of
interest rates.
The US House of Representatives approved the tax
legislation in an afternoon vote. The Senate was expected
to vote on the tax bill this evening. Republicans were
confident of the bill being signed into law by the end of the
week.
Stocks added to losses after the vote, which followed
weeks of market gains on optimism that tax cuts would
boost US earnings and the economy. Some investors also
said that much of those benefits were already reflected in
stock prices.
The S&P 500 has climbed about 5 percent since mid-
November when the House passed its tax overhaul bill. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 37.45 points, or 0.15
percent, to 24,754.75, the S&P 500 lost 8.69 points, or 0.32
percent, to 2,681.47 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped
30.91 points, or 0.44 percent, to 6,963.85.
Earlier in the day, stocks were pushed lower as Treasury
yields rose on strong housing data. Domestic home
construction hit a 13-month high in November.
Asian shares fell on Wednesday, taking their cues from
Wall Street with investor enthusiasm toward US tax
changes ebbing as the long-awaited reform bill wound its
way through Congress, while higher US Treasury yields
underpinned the dollar.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan
was down 0.2 percent in early trading, while Japan's Nikkei
stock index also edged down 0.2 percent.The Dow Jones
Industrial Average shed 0.15 percent, the S&P 500 lost 0.32
percent, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.44 percent
on Tuesday.
Previous day Roundup
The index opened at 10,229 and rose to an intraday high of
10,276. It slipped to an intraday low of 10,141 before
closing the day at 10,252, up 59 points.
According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at
10,170.37, followed by 10,088.63. If the index starts to

above , after consolidating in a range the stock is prepared
to give a breakout , 260.70 in future is the only resistance
level which is acting as hurdle if today it crosses this level
then its surely a buy so we advice to BUY APOLLOTYRE

2.HINDALCO [FUTURE]
HINDALCO has closed just above its support level of 240-
242, in the hourly chart the particular counter made a bullish
pennant pattern , but the only reistance which may act as a
hurdle is 254.80 in futures, since the metal sector is also
looking strong and is prepared for a reversal so buy on high
would be good to follow so BUY HINDALCO FUTURE above
255 tgt 259-262 sl below 252.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
Gold prices edged higher on Monday, as the U.S. dollar
pulled back despite mounting hopes that a major U.S. tax
reform can be passed before the end of the year.
Comex gold futures were up $2.10 or about 0.16% at
$1,259.70 a troy ounce by 03:00 a.m. ET (07:00 GMT), just
off Friday's one-and-a-half week high of $1,264.50 hit.
The greenback was initially lifted after Republicans on
Friday put the finishing touches on a sweeping tax overhaul
bill.
They are confident Congress will now pass the tax bill this
week, with a Senate vote planned as early as Tuesday.
The precious metal had strengthened last week after the
Fed raised interest rates by 0.25 basis points to 1.50% but
did not change its projections for 2018.
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s
strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major
currencies, was down 0.15% at 93.32.
Gold is sensitive to moves in both U.S. rates and the dollar.
A stroner dollar makes gold more expensive for holders of
foreign currency, while a rise in U.S. rates lifts the
opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as
bullion.
Elsewhere on the Comex, silver futures added 0.32% to
$16.12 a troy ounce.
Gold and silver were trading higher in morning trade on
Monday on account of some demand of precious metals
from jewellers, industries and retailers.
MCX Gold futures were trading 0.27 per cent up at Rs
28,330 per 10 gram at 10.40 am (IST), while MCX Silver
futures were trading 0.35 per cent up at Rs 37,335 at
around the same time.
Oil prices rose on Monday amid an ongoingNorth
Sea pipeline outage and signs that booming US crude
output growth may be slowing, although the 2018 outlook
points to ample supply despite production cuts led by OPEC.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at
$57.66 a barrel at 0634 GMT, up 36 cents, or 0.6 per
cent,from their last settlement.
Brent crude futures , the international benchmark for oil
prices, were at $63.59 a barrel, up 36 cents, or 0.6 per cent,
from their last close.
Traders said the slightly higher prices came on the back of
the North Sea Forties pipeline system outage, which
provides crude that underpins the Brent benchmark, as well
as indicators that US oil production growth may be slowing.

A robust demand has capped the price fall in cardamom
which has been seeing unabated stream of arrivals in the
market triggered by a late revival of rains.
Internal and overseas enquiries have kept the average
prices at Rs 850-900 per kg, which is still remunerative for
the growers as it is above the cost of production. The prices
had hit a high of Rs 1,200 per kg in September.
The January contract for delivery at Multi Commodity
Exchange (MCX) traded around Rs 1,047 per kg on Tuesday
evening.
Increased availability of the spice has been a blessing for
the exporters who have been able to offer competitive
rates. “Our prices have dropped by $1to about $16 per kg.
Buyers say they will continue to buy at the current rate,’’
said SPGR Nityanandan, a major exporter.
Crude palm oil prices fell 0.74 per cent to Rs 587.70 per 10
kg in futures trade today as speculators booked profits at
prevailing higher levels amid fall in demand at the spot
market.
Besides, sufficient stocks position following increased
supplies from the producing regions, fuelled the
downtrend. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude palm
oil for delivery in December eased by Rs 4.40, or 0.74 per
cent, to Rs 587.70 per 10 kg, in a business turnover of 252
lots. On similar lines, the oil for delivery in current month
traded lower by Rs 1.70, or 0.29 per cent, to Rs 588.50 per
10 kg in 68 lots.
Mentha oil prices were trading higher by 1.83 per cent to Rs
1,748.90 per kg in futures market today as speculators
engaged in building up positions, amid pick-up in demand in
domestic industries and projection of lower output .
Besides, tight stock positions due to restricted arrivals from
the major producing belts of Chandausi, gave support to
mentha prices.

This year mentha oil output is projected at 25,000-30,000
ton as against 35,000 ton in the previous year due to fall in
acreage. India exported 5,365 ton mint products during
April-June 2017 up from 5,259 ton a year ago. At the Multi
Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in current
month rose Rs 31.40, or 1.83 per cent, to Rs 1,748.90 per
kg, clocking a business volume of 42 lots.
Maintaining its upbeat momentum, the rupee today
surged by 30 paise to hit a fresh 3-month high of 64.04
against the US dollar, with all exit polls on assembly
elections suggesting the BJP retaining Gujarat and
returning to power in Himachal Pradesh. This is the highest
closing for the home currency since September 13, when it
had closed at 64.00. It was also the biggest single-day gain
for the rupee in over three weeks. Overall currency market
sentiment turned extremely bullish after the exit poll
outcomes predicted BJP's win in Gujarat for the sixth time
and a clean sweep in Himachal Pradesh elections.
A smart rally in local equities also supported the rupee
momentum.
It was further supported by unwinding of long-dollar
positions by speculators and some foreign banks with the
US dollar down on shaky outlook for the tax reform
progress. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex)
market, the home currency resumed substantially higher at
64.20 compared to Thursday's close of 64.34.
It gained further ground to hit an intra-day high of 64.01 in
mid-afternoon deals before ending at 64.04, showing a
smart 30 paise jump, or 0.47 per cent.
