Pre Market - Snapshot - 17-06-2021



US stocks fell on Wednesday post Fed statements of rate hikes somewhere in next two years. Markets viewed the change in dot chart as somewhat hawkish and started discounting the possibility of rate hikes sooner than later. 

Dow dropped 0.77% on close, recovering from intraday loss of more than 1%, S&P closed down by 0.54%, Nasdsaq had a relatively smaller cut of 0.24%. The small cap Russell 2000 also saw a smaller cut of 0.23%.


US dollar index and 10 year bond yields surged sharply on Fed's mild hawkish outlook, dollar index moved close to 91.50, 10 year above 1.59%. Cboe Vix moved higher at 18.


Crude futures also saw some profit taking, WTI traded below 72, Brent below 74.


Indian stocks snapped a three day record closing run pre-empting the Wall Street fall. Nifty fell by 0 64%, Sensex by 0.51%. Mid and small cap stocks were also on the receiving end on some profit taking in broader markets. 


For the day, stocks may react on overnight cues from global markets at open but may chart their individual course during the day on weekly options expiry. For rest of June series watch for continuation of consolidation in rotational trade based on few variables like US dollar index and 10 year bond yields, global equity cues and developments on Covid-19. A measured correction and a subsequent consolidation is preferred against gravity defying moves of last few weeks.

Vehicle Scrappage Policy

Talks of vehicle scrappage policy being introduced come to the surface every few months, but unfortunately, each time policy itself doesn't come to the surface. Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Highway and Transport, has stated that it can be expected to roll out within a month. He termed the policy "very important", let's find out why? With time, things get older and outdated. The same is for cars and technology used in cars, to reduce pollution and fuel consumption. If you live in Bangalore, you must have seen the old cars and buses emitting dirty black smoke. It is because the vehicle is too old. It causes more pollution and consumes more fuel. Now imagine having such trucks, buses, cars, and 2-wheelers on road, all over India.
