Dow Jones Industrial Average - This old economy benchmark index measures the outlook on the  New York stock exchange. Last week we had advocated resistance at the 10,740 levels ( click here to view our previous editions ). The Dow Jones has under performed as compared to the Nasdaq and is likely to see resistance at the 10650 - 10675 levels. Expect the 10,200 levels to be a good short term base for this index in the near term.

Your call  of  action - Since Indian investors are not allowed to trade in overseas markets, this  is  a  pure academic study.

Nasdaq - This new economy benchmark index measures the outlook on the Nasdaq exchange. This index has made a new 29 month high ( highest since July ' 01) recently and has been advocated by us as making a saucer formation. The relative strength of this index is surpassing the Dow. Last week, we forecast that the 2090 levels will be a  short term target and the Nasdaq has closed at 2087 - 3 points away from our target !!!. ( click here to view our previous editions ) The outlook has turned positive after improved employment data and the short term target of 2180 then 2230 should be expected.

FTSE - This index measures the outlook on the London stock exchange. As we have been forecasting a 4300 level support, this index is making a base in the near term and showing short term strength ( click here to view our previous editions ). Our outlook though positive for this index is also that of an under-performer as compared to the US markets. The oscillators are pointing towards a consolidation at present levels.
