India’s Consumer Price Inflation data came out at 4.25% as expected. This is a 25-month low. Inflation has dropped by 2.3% since January. At the same time, note that it is 44 months since inflation came out below 4% and we will have to wait longer.
Wholesale Price Inflation came out at negative 3.5%. It is a contraction in the figure much more than expected.
Fed decision was the highlight of the week. It was a pause as most experts were expecting on grounds of falling inflation. The Fed officials said that there could be two more hikes coming up by the end of the year.
US inflation eased to 4% as expected.
SGX Nifty is at 18,900.

The weekly candle changed all the way from red to green in a matter of 6 hours on Friday. It was a huge rally and thus, we were able to cast some positivity for the coming week though not as much as the global markets.
Our markets were able to move up despite no support from the global markets earlier. So, it is fine if Nifty underperforms as long as the swing points are protected in the Day-chart.
