MARKET
ROUND UP
Indian equity benchmark indices the S&P BSE Sensex and the Nifty 50
index closed the week ended Friday, 20 January 2017 on sour note. The trading
for the week was lacklustre during four trading sessions from Monday, 16
January to Thursday, 19 January 2017, with a range-bound trading, amid mixed
global cues. Albeit, a noticeable slide on the bourses on Friday, 20 January
2017, pulled key indices lower.
The slide on the last trading session of the week is attributable to
the caution ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration later in
the global day on Friday, 20 January 2017. Markets across the globe await a
clear cut direction from Trump on US' economic policies.
The Sensex lost 203.56 points or 0.74% to settle at 27,034.50. The
Nifty declined 51 points or 0.6% to settle at 8,349.35.
In the broader market, the BSE Mid-Cap index shed 0.43%, with the
decline in this index lower than the Sensex's decline in percentage terms. The
BSE Small-Cap index bucked the market trend by advancing 0.56% during the week.

press for a firm exit from the European Union. May said she'll put the terms of
the country's exits from the EU to a parliamentary vote. Setting out a vision
that could determine Britain's future for generations and the shape of the EU
itself, May answered criticism that she has been coy about her strategy with a
12-point plan for what has been dubbed a hard Brexit.

its strongest pace in two years. The housing-market index from the National
Association of Homebuilders showed that builder sentiment slipped in January

said the governing body stood ready to intervene further if conditions
worsened.
Global Economic News:
Trump vows to restore America’s promise
In his inaugural address, President Donald Trump pledged to transfer
power from Washington, D.C., back to the American people. He called for defending
the US’s borders while rebuilding its infrastructure. Every decision, whether
on trade, taxes or immigration, will be made to benefit American workers and
families, he said. While he expects other nations to put their interests first
as well, he said the United States will reinforce old alliances and build new
ones.
China’s Xi warns on trade war risks
In the first appearance by a Chinese leader at the World Economic Forum
in Davos, Switzerland, President Xi Jinping defended globalization. He cautioned
other countries against pursuing protectionist policies, adding that no one
will emerge as a winner in a trade war. On the domestic front, Xi said that the
economy has entered a new normal, driven by household consumption. He affirmed
a 6.7% 2016 economic growth target, in the middle of the government’s 6.5%–7%
range, but the slowest since 1990.
IMF ups US growth forecast
The US economy will grow 2.3% this year and 2.5% in 2018, according to
freshly revised International Monetary Fund forecasts. The IMF raised its
forecast by 0.1% for 2017 and 0.4% for 2018. The global growth outlook remained
steady from October estimates of 3.4% this year and 3.6% in 2018. The fund

her plan to put Brexit to a vote in Parliament before triggering Article 50.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS
Draghi says rates to stay very low even after halting
asset sales
Interest rates will stay low or head even lower for an extended period,
European Central Bank president Mario Draghi said on Thursday, after the
Governing Council left its monetary policy unchanged. Draghi looked past a
recent uptick in European inflation measures and said the ECB is ready to
increase the size of its quantitative easing program, if needed. The Bank of
Canada too held policy steady this week, though Governor Stephen Poloz
maintained that a rate cut is an option if the Canadian economy takes a hit
from more protectionist US policies. Poloz’s dovish tone sent the Canadian
dollar lower. US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen said Thursday that the Fed
is close to its goals and that she expects to hike rates "a few times”
this year. Futures markets have just over two 25-basis-point hikes priced in at
present. Yellen added that allowing the economy to run persistently hot would
be risky and unwise.

Indian Market Outlook:
The Indian markets posted modest gains in the last session despite
choppy trade, as investors remained optimistic of upbeat corporate earnings
results. Today, the start is likely to be soft to cautious on mostly
unsupportive global cues. However, markets may see recovery in latter trade and
shore up with India emerging as the 'sweet spot' along with neighbour China to
rev up the global economic growth at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual meet
in Davos. Along with China, India was also applauded as a major driving force
for world growth with leaders and economists emphasising the need for increased
regional cooperation. IT and pharma stocks will be under pressure ahead of
Donald Trump's swearing-in as US President today. There will be caution on
talks of pricing pressure on pharma, and new H1B norms for IT companies. The
aviation stocks will be in action, as more than three dozen airports across
India, which today do not handle a single flight, may get connected under the
government’s UDAN (UdeDeshKaAamNaagrik) scheme. Bids by interested airlines
have been received to connect 43 such new airports for 190 routes. There will
be lots of individual result reactions too, to keep the markets buzzing for the
day.

Nifty not able to go anywhere through the week and is stuck
in a small range between Gann levels 8373-8465. Imp levels to watch today are
8397-8460 either side rally will happen after a long consolidation during the
week. Lower supports on breach of 8397 is 8373-8348-8301. Over all the bullish
trend we got from the lows of 7893 had fizzled out and to regain strength Nifty
has to close the week ab 8465. There is no major support form the Nifty
components except Banking and Financials which also now looks tired.
BankNifty support 19072 and hurdle 19220. Either side will see a rally.
Yesterday saw weakness and was choppy with in a range and trying to get
direction.
Conclusion:
Nifty index traded sideways for most past of the passing
week but steep sell-off on Friday i.e. 20th January made it settle at the
weekly lowest levels. The sell off was due to Donald Trump’s inauguration as
the 45th US President. Market participants were seen taking a cautious stance
ahead of the same. Overall markets bias remains in favor of the bulls; hence,
dips from the current levels can be utilized to accumulate good quality stocks
for medium to long-term. For the up coming week, we expect Nifty index to trade
in range 8250-8500. Auto and Bankex top our preferred list of sectoral pivots.
