OUTLOOK

Today morning, except a marginally higher Shanghai, other Asian markets are trading with cuts of upto a percent with Nikkei leading the losses and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 40 points lower opening for our market.

We had asked going long on Nifty after immediate hurdle of 7780 was taken out on last Friday for the target of 7990, which is the top made in April. The benchmark has since then moved up and touched a high of 7916 yesterday.

7980-7890 continue to be upside target to eye. Immediate support on the hourly chart has moved up to 7810, with the stop loss of which trading longs should be held on to.

Bank of Baroda and Cadila will report their quarterly earnings today.


Other data to watch out today would be US retail sales for April which is either going to confirm things really are weak or the employment number and the GDP number was temporary weakness.
