Global markets at a glance
Wall Street cut losses to end little changed on Tuesday
while energy stocks rallied after US President Donald
Trump said the United States would quit the Iran nuclear
deal, confirming what many investors had expected.
In a televised speech, Trump said the United States would
withdraw from a 2015 international agreement designed to
deny Tehran the ability to build nuclear weapons, and also
reinstate sanctions on Iran.
The S&P energy sector erased earlier losses to end the day
up 0.78 percent as oil prices reduced earlier declines on
bets that the sanctions would disrupt global crude supplies.
Asian shares crept higher on Monday after a tame reading
on US wages lessened the risk of faster rate hikes by the
Federal Reserve, although Sino-US trade tensions and a
looming deadline for the Iranian nuclear deal argued for
caution.
The week ahead also has important readings on the health
of the Chinese economy, and hence global demand, as well
as the latest data on US consumer price inflation.The early
action was limited with MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-
Pacific shares outside Japan up 0.2 percent.
Japan's Nikkei was flat, while Australian stocks added 0.3
percent. E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 also inched up 0.2
percent.
Previous day Roundup
The index closed in green with gains of 2 points but it
formed a bearish candlestick pattern which suggests
momentum seems to be fading. For bulls to take complete
control of D-Street, a close above 10,785 is required else
we could consolidate in a narrow range.
The Nifty opened at 10,757.90 rose marginally to an
intraday high of 10,758.55. It slipped towards its crucial 5-
days exponential moving average (DEMA) where it took
support at 10,691 before bouncing back above 10,700 to
close at 10,717.80.
India VIX moved up by 2.14 percent at 14.05. On the
options front, maximum Put OI is placed at 10,500 followed
by 10,600 strikes while maximum Call OI is placed at 11,000
followed by 10,800 strikes.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
MCX Aluminium futures extended their losses yesterday as
the global price action remained tepid. The local futures
crashed under Rs 150 per kg and closed down 3% at Rs
146.35 per kg. The US has indicated it could ease sanctions
against Russian aluminium producer Rusal that have sent
global Aluminium price soaring to seven year top, leading a
crash of nearly 10% near $2200 per tonne in the metal
prices on LME on Monday. The US Treasury said if billionaire
Oleg Deripaska sold his stake in the company, the world's
second-largest aluminium producer by output, it could cut
or lift the sanctions. It also extended the time limit for US
and non-US citizens to wind up business with the company
by almost five months, to October 23. Since the sanctions
against Rusal were introduced on April 6, global Aluminium
prices have risen by as much as a third as the metal makes
6% of the world's supply of the metal. LME Aluminium
stayed under pressure yesterday too and stayed near the
recent lows. At 429.7 million barrels, US crude oil
inventories are in the lower half of the average range for
this time of the year. Total products supplied over the past
four-week period averaged over 20.4 million barrels per
day, up by 4.3% from the same period last year. Over the
past four weeks, motor gasoline product supplied averaged
9.4 million barrels per day, up 1.3% from the same period
last year.
Crude oil futures stayed mixed after testing near one week
low as steady buying emerged on strength in stock markets
thereafter. MCX Crude oil futures closed around Rs 4550
per kg levels. US crude oil inventories increased last week
ending April 20, and the refining sector fell 328,000 barrels
per day from the previous week's average, the US Energy
Information Administration (EIA) said in a report. According
to the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, US commercial
crude oil inventories, excluding those in the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve, of the week ending April 20 increased
by 2.2 million barrels from the previous week. At 429.7
million barrels, US crude oil inventories are in the lower half
of the average range for this time of the year.
COMEX Gold futures slipped to a five week low on strength
in US stocks and sound economic data. DOW jumped above
24000 mark on strong quarterly results from some of the
biggest US companies and Gold stayed slippery, falling
under $1320 levels. MCX Gold futures extended losses too
and closed just above at Rs 31200 per 10 grams mark. The
Indian Rupee edged up a bit back after testing its 14 month
low last week and a further rally in the INR could cap local
Gold in coming days.

The dollar held steady just below its strongest level since
mid-January on Monday, leaving the euro pinned near
three-month lows, as a pullback in US treasury yields kept a
lid on the US currency's recent rally.
Traders are readying for German inflation data and
consumer spending numbers due out of the US later to see
whether the dollar can continue a run of gains that has
encouraged some analysts to predict the currency, which
has weakened for most of the past year, can strengthen
further.
The 10-year US Treasury yield surpassed 3 per cent last
week, encouraging investors to buy the dollar and cut their
euro exposure. Positioning data shows that net long euro
positions by speculators fell last week, albeit it from a multi-
year high, suggesting investors remain bullish on the single
currency.
"With US yields meandering around the 3 per cent market,
in the near term the dollar can definitely rise further," said
Alvin Tan, FX strategist at Societe Generale. "That said, we
think longer term the euro can move higher."
The dollar's index against a basket of six major currencies
rose 0.1 per cent to 91.652, down from Friday's high of
91.986, its strongest level since Jan. 11.
The single currency dropped 0.1 per cent to $1.2114, not
far from its lows last week of $1.2110.
The euro enjoyed a strong rally at the start of this year but
doubts over the speed at which the European Central Bank
will normalise monetary policy and some signs the region's
economic rebound has peaked left the currency stuck in a
trading range before the dollar's recent bounce.
The dollar index had risen more than 1.3 per cent last week
for its biggest weekly gain in over two months.

The US dollar rallied to a four-month high on Monday as
the 10-year Treasury yield’s climb toward the
psychologically important 3 percent level spurred buying of
the greenback, leaving the euro and yen lower. The 10-
year yield hit its highest in over four years at 2.998
percent, driven by worries about the growing supply of
government debt and accelerating inflation as oil and
commodity prices climb. The rupee made a muted start on
Friday morning with a loss of 8 paise at 66.83 against the
dollar.
Overall, sentiment remained subdued due to a gradual
increase in crude oil prices, stirring up more concerns over
a widening trade deficit.
The domestic currency on Thursday recovered mildly and
closed at 66.75. The rupee on wednesday nosedived 52
paise to hit a 14-month low of 66.90 against the US dollar,
the third biggest single-day fall for the domestic currency
this year, amid surging crude prices coupled with
headwinds on the macro-economic front in form of
widening trade deficit. This was the lowest closing for the
rupee since February 22, 2017.
The dollar held steady against a basket of currencies on
Monday, having pulled back from a 3-1/2-month high set
late last week, pressured by a decline in the benchmark US
10-year Treasury yield. The dollar’s index against a basket
of six major currencies stood at 91.519, steady on the day
but down from Friday’s high of 91.986.The US 10-year yield
has since come off that peak and fell 3 basis points on
Friday to 2.957 percent, down from a four-year high of
3.035 percent struck on Wednesday.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Please refer todisclaimer Epic Research Ltd w w w . e p i c r e s e a r c h . c o Special Report 09-May-2018 COMMODITY ROUNDUP MCX Aluminium futures extended their losses yesterday as the global price action remained tepid. The local futures crashed under Rs 150 per kg and closed down 3% at Rs 146.35 per kg. The US has indicated it could ease sanctions against Russian aluminium producer Rusal that have sent global Aluminium price soaring to seven year top, leading a crash of nearly 10% near $2200 per tonne in the metal prices on LME on Monday. The US Treasury said if billionaire Oleg Deripaska sold his stake in the company, the world's second-largest aluminium producer by output, it could cut or lift the sanctions. It also extended the time limit for US and non-US citizens to wind up business with the company by almost five months, to October 23. Since the sanctions against Rusal were introduced on April 6, global Aluminium prices have risen by as much as a third as the metal makes 6% of the world's supply of the metal. LME Aluminium stayed under pressure yesterday too and stayed near the recent lows. At 429.7 million barrels, US crude oil inventories are in the lower half of the average range for this time of the year. Total products supplied over the past four-week period averaged over 20.4 million barrels per day, up by 4.3% from the same period last year. Over the past four weeks, motor gasoline product supplied averaged 9.4 million barrels per day, up 1.3% from the same period last year. Crude oil futures stayed mixed after testing near one week low as steady buying emerged on strength in stock markets thereafter. MCX Crude oil futures closed around Rs 4550 per kg levels. US crude oil inventories increased last week ending April 20, and the refining sector fell 328,000 barrels per day from the previous week's average, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a report. According to the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, US commercial crude oil inventories, excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, of the week ending April 20 increased by 2.2 million barrels from the previous week. At 429.7 million barrels, US crude oil inventories are in the lower half of the average range for this time of the year. COMEX Gold futures slipped to a five week low on strength in US stocks and sound economic data. DOW jumped above 24000 mark on strong quarterly results from some of the biggest US companies and Gold stayed slippery, falling under $1320 levels. MCX Gold futures extended losses too and closed just above at Rs 31200 per 10 grams mark. The Indian Rupee edged up a bit back after testing its 14 month low last week and a further rally in the INR could cap local Gold in coming days. RECOMMENDATIONS GOLD TRADING STRATEGY: BUY GOLD JUN FUT AROUND 31295-31300 TGT 31350-31400 SL BELOW 31255 SELL GOLD JUN FUT AROUND 31200-31190 TGT 31150-31100 SL ABOVE 31250 SILVER TRADING STRATEGY: BUY SILVER JUL FUT ABOVE 40005 TGT 40050-40100 SL BELOW 39960 SELL SILVER JUL FUT AROUND 39850-39840 TGT 39800-39750 SL ABOVE 39900

Traders are readying for German inflation data and consumer spending numbers due out of the US later to see whether the dollar can continue a run of gains that has encouraged some analysts to predict the currency, which has weakened for most of the past year, can strengthen further. The 10-year US Treasury yield surpassed 3 per cent last week, encouraging investors to buy the dollar and cut their euro exposure. Positioning data shows that net long euro positions by speculators fell last week, albeit it from a multi- year high, suggesting investors remain bullish on the single currency. "With US yields meandering around the 3 per cent market, in the near term the dollar can definitely rise further," said Alvin Tan, FX strategist at Societe Generale. "That said, we think longer term the euro can move higher." The dollar's index against a basket of six major currencies rose 0.1 per cent to 91.652, down from Friday's high of 91.986, its strongest level since Jan. 11. The single currency dropped 0.1 per cent to $1.2114, not far from its lows last week of $1.2110. The euro enjoyed a strong rally at the start of this year but doubts over the speed at which the European Central Bank will normalise monetary policy and some signs the region's economic rebound has peaked left the currency stuck in a trading range before the dollar's recent bounce. The dollar index had risen more than 1.3 per cent last week for its biggest weekly gain in over two months.

The 10- year yield hit its highest in over four years at 2.998 percent, driven by worries about the growing supply of government debt and accelerating inflation as oil and commodity prices climb. The rupee made a muted start on Friday morning with a loss of 8 paise at 66.83 against the dollar. Overall, sentiment remained subdued due to a gradual increase in crude oil prices, stirring up more concerns over a widening trade deficit. The domestic currency on Thursday recovered mildly and closed at 66.75. The rupee on wednesday nosedived 52 paise to hit a 14-month low of 66.90 against the US dollar, the third biggest single-day fall for the domestic currency this year, amid surging crude prices coupled with headwinds on the macro-economic front in form of widening trade deficit. This was the lowest closing for the rupee since February 22, 2017. The dollar held steady against a basket of currencies on Monday, having pulled back from a 3-1/2-month high set late last week, pressured by a decline in the benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield. The dollar’s index against a basket of six major currencies stood at 91.519, steady on the day but down from Friday’s high of 91.986.The US 10-year yield has since come off that peak and fell 3 basis points on Friday to 2.957 percent, down from a four-year high of 3.035 percent struck on Wednesday.
