Observation
The Sand P 500 rallied and the Nifty was unchanged last week. Indicators are bullish.
Markets are challenging resistance again. Time to tighten those stops.
On the Horizon
China – CPI, GDP, Australia – Employment data, England – BOE rate decision,
U.S – Import price index, CPI, Retail sales, U. Mich. Consumer confidence, Canada – Rate decision

**Neutral
Changes less than 0.5% are considered neutral





The Sand P 500 rallied and the Nifty was unchanged last week. Signals are bullish for the upcoming week. The Vix is suggesting complacency.  The Yen, gold and treasuries are indicating a flight to safety. The markets are back at resistance and are likely to continue major breakdowns in 2016 after this rally concludes. The critical levels to watch are 2140 (up) and 2120 (down) on the S & P and 8400 (up) and 8250 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. You can also check out support and resistance levels of the S and
P 500 and Nifty Indices. Love your thoughts and feedback.

India Market Insight

My Asset Allocation Strategy (Indian Market)

Cash - 40%
Bonds - 20%
Fixed deposit - 20%
Gold - 5%
Stocks - 10% ( Majority of this in dividend funds)
Other Asset Classes - 5%

My belief is that stocks are relatively overvalued compared to bonds and attractive buying opportunities can come along after 1-2 years. In a deflationary scenario no asset class does well other than U.S bonds, the U.S dollar and the Japanese yen, so better to be safe than sorry with high quality government bonds and fixed deposits. Cash is the king always. Of course this varies with the person's age.
