The initial fall of the US markets, though not huge, could be a reaction to the strong factory data which is an indicator that we may NOT fall into recession as the demand is still high. This can push the policymakers to continue with rate hikes.
The Auto Sales data showed recovery. However, tractors and two-wheelers showed no improvement and Bajaj Auto was hit by unsatisfactory sales. The AUTO sector closed flat.
GST collection came out at 1.4 lac crore which is a fall of 16% from last month figure. But this is a good figure as May collection always has to come lower than April since the financial closing month returns are collected in April.
Manufacturing PMI for May came out at 54.6%, which shows an improvement despite inflation. Though we have different data and cues, many of them are contradictory and also, our market may be more action-based rather than news-driven in the coming days.
Hope you remember how volatile the last week expiry was! The chart stands apart from the other days. Make sure that you have stricter SLs. Note that NIFTY futures are trading at discount.
I will be watching 16,400 on the downside if the down-move continues.
