Tough to trust!

India Infoline Research Team / 08:33 , Sep 06, 2010

With the Asian markets extending last week’s global rally, we expect a higher opening for India as well. The sentiment booster is a better-than-expected US monthly jobs report that managed to ease some of the concerns over ongoing economic recovery. But, given that US markets are shut today for Labour Day holiday, world equities might just consolidate for a while.

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough. - Frank Crane

 
With the Asian markets extending last week’s global rally, we expect a higher opening for India as well. The sentiment booster is a better-than-expected US monthly jobs report that managed to ease some of the concerns over ongoing economic recovery. But, given that US markets are shut today for Labour Day holiday, world equities might just consolidate for a while. 
 
The Indian markets too will have one less trading day this week. Markets will be shut on Friday on account of Ramzan Id. July IIP is expected this week and might show some loss of momentum due to high base effect. The coming week will be important as well with the RBI holding its policy meeting. The latest monthly inflation data will also due next week. 
 
Economic reports from the US and China will be few this week but key data points are expected from Japan and Europe. On the whole, stocks are likely to move sideways in the holiday-shortened week as investors remain wary about the long-term economic outlook.
