U S Fed Remains Dovish, Easy Money Policy to Continue !
- The statement issued after the FOMC meet of the U S Federal Reserve signaled the continuation of the easy money policy for the time being and opined that the rising prices of fuel, food and commodities may not lead to higher inflation in the U S.
- Stock and commodity prices may remain buoyant due to continuation of the near zero policy rates by the Federal Reserve.
- Even though a change in the policy stance may occur later on and hamper the asset price inflation, there is no question of it happening in the immediate future and therefore, no undue volatility in the market due to such changes is seen at present.
- However on the home front, RBI may be forced to act tougher against the galloping inflation which is running much ahead of all expectations for such a long time.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
- Wednesday's trading has lead to the formation of an inside day candle as the latest candle's range was confined to the previous day's range.
- Trading mostly remained in the middle of the present day trading range on Wednesday though the Nifty contracts lost 40 points.
- As Nifty future was confined to a very narrow trading range for the entire past month and the contract has not yet moved from the previous expiry values, it is not possible to guess the direction to which the next break out may occur.
- Traders may remain cautious on the expiry day and expect stock specific and expiry related wild swings in the market.
Nifty Options Scene
The April series Nifty Options Put Call ratio ( PCR April series ) declined further to 1.08 times on Wednesday. Any decline in the PCR is normally related to the weakness in the market. Massive writing of April series call options was seen at the three strikes at 5900, 5800 and 6000 on Wednesday. Some covering of open Put options was also seen a day before the expiry. The highest open interest barriers are presently placed at the 5700 and 5900 strikes and as such, the expiry could be anywhere between these strikes. The following Option Pain chart also indicate an expiry near the 5800 strike. ( The above is just some informed guess and the market picture may change at any time before the expiry. )
