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 10,750 levels ( click here to view our previous editions ) which proved a major hurdle for the markets. The Dow Jones has retraced from the 10,634 mark. The index is likely to remain under pressure till it surpasses the 10,500 levels with heavy volumes. Expect the 10,000 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. Last week, we forecast that the 2000 levels support if violated, would see a meltdown upto the 1925 mark. ( click here to view our previous editions ). Only above a 2175 close, expect the next resistance at the 2240 - 2250 levels. Till then, expect weakness in the index.

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 weakness ( click here to view our previous editions ). Our outlook though mildly positive for this index is also that of an under-performer as compared to the US markets. The oscillators are pointing towards a sideways market at present levels - only above a conclusive close above 4560 levels, will a new rally start.
