Although the Ultimate Momentum Signal had indicated a sell on 13th April, 2010, this blogger had expressed some apprehensions about the sell signal for the reason that none of the major world indices were showing any weakness at that time. Now it seems that other markets may join the downtrend...!
- During the weekend the Chinese central bank raised the down payment ratios for all property loans to cool down the property market.
- US jobless claims rose unexpectedly.
- The US SEC pressed civil fraud charges on the Wall Street's 'gold plated' bank Goldman Sachs, in connection with an underwriting of semi synthetic CDOs consisting of dubious mortgages.
- Following the above news, equities and commodities sold off on last Friday.
- Some analysts are opining that China is having an asset price bubble and it may burst affecting India too.
- The Nifty index is reversing from an area where it reached the top end of historical valuations as on 6th and 7th April, 2010. (Click here to check out the post dated 6th April.)
- The RBI monetary policy on 20th April may contain some interest rate hikes as inflation is almost at the double digits figure.
- However, the futures have closed lower for the past four trading days and it may still show some tendency for intraday spikes as happened on the last trading day.
