28 Dec-2017
Global markets at a glance
US stocks were little changed on Wednesday, as gains in
the technology sector offset losses in energy and helped
keep major indexes nearly flat.
The S&P technology index was up 0.1 percent and poised
to snap a five-session losing streak, its longest since April,
led by gains in Facebook , up 1.0 percent, and Visa , up 0.8
percent.
Trading volumes remained muted in the holiday-shortened
week between Christmas and New Year. Trading on
Tuesday marked the thinnest volume of the year for a full
session.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on
the NYSE by a 1.16-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.09-to-1 ratio
favored advancers.
Asian shares rose to a one-month high on Thursday and
were on track for their best annual performance since
2009, while commodity-driven currencies were buoyed by
a rally in copper, which hit a four-year peak.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan
was up 0.1 percent at 563.86 points, a level last visited in
late November. It has rocketed 32 percent in the year so
far.MSCI world equity index , which tracks shares in 47
countries, also held near record highs. It has surged 21.5
percent this year.
Trade was light across the board with many market
participants on holiday.
Previous day Roundup
The market could see a mildly higher opening based on
trends on SGX Nifty as well as similar trends coming in from
the global markets too. The bulls failed to maintain their
control over D-Street in the last hour of the trading session
on Wednesday and closed below its crucial support zone of
10500 levels. The index made a small bearish candle on the
daily candlestick charts ahead of December expiry.
The Nifty corrected after making a fresh all-time high but
bounced back from its 5-days exponential moving average
(5-DEMA) placed at 10,474 to close at 10,490, down 40
points. It rose to a fresh record high of 10,522.40.
A Hanging Man type pattern formed in the previous trading
session gave a heads up to investors that the momentum is
waning. Investors are advised to remain cautious and avoid
buying on dips until some signs of strength are visible.

years on Tuesday, though Congressional Republicans will
likely need to hold another vote later on Wednesday due to
procedural issues.

amid firm underlying support and expectations of year-end
purchases, with the dollar and stocks little changed in Asian
trade.

earlier.

move in range of Rs 37,400-38,200 in near term.

on a flat note at around the same time. However,
benchmark BSE Sensex topped 34,000 for the first time in

$58.02 a barrel at 0540 GMT, down 7 cents from their last
settlement.

Guargum prices declined by Rs 89 to Rs 8,190 per quintal in
future trading today as speculators liquidated positions,
tracking weak sentiments at the domestic spot markets.
Marketmen said cutting down of bets by the speculators in
line with subdued trend in spot markets mainly attributed
the fall in guar gum future prices. Besides, lower export
demand also turned kept pressure on guar gum prices, they
added. At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange
counter, guar gum delivery for most-traded, delivery in
October contracts dropped by Rs 89 or 1.09 per cent to Rs
8,190 per quintal, with an open interest of 43,600 lots. The
delivery for the November month contract also slipped by
Rs 89 or 1.06 per cent to Rs 8,300 per quintal, in an open
interest of 10,450 lots. National Commodity and Derivatives
Exchange (NCDEX) has received encouraging response in
terms of soyabean contract with 1.45 lakh tonne of deposits
within just two months’ time of new arrival season.
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. Cardamom export for the quarter ended June
2017 was up by 10% in volume and 48% in value — 1,220
tonnes at Rs 134.55 crore from a year ago. The only worry
of the exporters now seems to be the delay in the refund of
goods and services tax (GST). Indian cardamom output
plummeted by half last year after peaking to 30,000 tonnes
in 2015-16. The current year saw a poor harvest in the first
round, but a revival in monsoon led to an increase in
arrivals.

The dollar held steady in Tuesday's holiday-thinned trade,
shrugging off upbeat Japanese economic data as market
participants pondered about next year's potential
catalysts.Markets in Australia and Hong Kong remained
closed after Monday's Christmas holiday, and many
financial centres in Europe will also be shut on Tuesday.
The euro inched down 0.1 percent to $1.1869 EUR= . The
single currency gave up some ground last week after
Catalan separatists won a regional election, deepening
Spain's political crisis in a sharp rebuke to Prime Minister
Mariano Rajoy and European Union leaders who backed
him. the yen, the dollar was almost flat on the day at
113.30 JPY= .
The market had a muted reaction to data released early on
Tuesday which showed that Japan's core consumer prices
rose for the 11th straight month, up 0.9 percent year-on-
year, and household spending jumped in November. the
inflation rate remains distant from the Bank of Japan's 2
percent target, the rise offered some hope that a steady
economic recovery will gradually drive up prices. Most
Asian currencies barely budged in thin holiday trade on
Tuesday, with the Chinese yuan briefly rallying to a 3-1/2-
month high before retreating on corporate dollar
demand.China's central bank lifted its official yuan
midpoint to the highest level in over three months at
6.5416 per dollar, reflecting a strong spot yuan
performance a day earlier. CNY/That pushed the onshore
yuan to a high of 6.5330 per dollar at one point in early
trade, the strongest level since Sept.13, but it came off in
the afternoon to be down on the day.
