INDIAN EQUITY MARKET OUTLOOK - 19 MAY 2016

INDIAN BENCHMARKS Global chaos signal weak start for Indian markets

The Indian shares are likely to see a weak start as the global cues look unsupportive with SGX Nifty trading 27 points lower..

Indian Indices:

Indian equity benchmarks are likely to witness a gap down opening on Thursday amidst uncertainty surrounding US interest rate outlook with the FOMC minutes showing that policymakers discussed the prospect of raising interest rates in June, souring risk taking appetite.

Fed minutes signaled that policymakers said a rise in interest rates next month is warranted if the world’s biggest economy continues to make progress.

Higher interest rates in the US may lead to capital outflows from emerging markets.

Losses in the CNX Nifty Index Futures for May delivery which fell by 0.51 per cent or 40 points at 7,837 at 10:23 AM Singapore time also signal that Dalal Street may open on a bearish note today.

Global Markets:

Asian stocks were trading mixed as commodity producers declined as a surging dollar weighed on metal and oil prices. The dollar jumped as Fed minutes signaled the possibility of a June rate hike.

China’s Shanghai Composite rose, Hang Seng fell and Japan’s Nikkei 225 rallied as a weaker yen bolstered the appeal of exporter stocks.

Wall Street ended on a mixed note on Wednesday as traders weighed the relatively hawkish FOMC minutes.

European stock markets recovered from a weak start on Wednesday, with a rally in banks and a rebound on Wall Street helping to counteract some weak corporate earnings from companies including Switzerland's Sonova.
