Key factors that will guide us on how to invest in the share market on F&O expiry week.

 

Global market cues

The global market will play a vital role to decide the market mood next week. Last week the US S&P 500 index hit the record high. The US housing market sees a strong rebound while jobless claims rise back above 1 million in the last week. The lack of progress on a new fiscal stimulus and tension between the US-China are the concerns in the US market now.  

The Flash PMI survey in Eurozone shows that there is a slowdown in economic recovery. The European markets fell last week due to fresh surges in coronavirus cases and new restrictions imposed in the region. While the UK’s composite PMI surged and its economy is recovering fast.

Japan’s Nikkei was down last week due to its economy contracted sharply, its GDP fell 7.8% in the June end quarter. Whereas China’s Shanghai gained slightly last week but its relation with the US is deteriorating and its a concern for the global market.

Traders should closely follow China’s industrial profits data (YTD) for July on  27th August, the US durable goods orders for July on 26th August, and Europe consumer confidence data for August on 28th August. 

The above news can decide the global market trend for the next week. To know the global market direction and how to invest in the share market in the next week traders can also follow our Daily Morning Market updates.

 

Coronavirus pandemic

The spread of coronavirus and its impact on the domestic and global economy will be closely watched in the next week. Globally there are more than 2.2 cr confirmed coronavirus cases registered as of now. In India confirmed coronavirus cases are crossed more than 30L. The second wave coronavirus cases in the US are in the declining stage whereas there is a new surge in the European countries.

Traders should be closely watched out for the fresh restriction imposed in the regions and their economic impacts. Any further news of lockdown and restriction can create a negative sentiment in the market.

 

Progress of monsoon

Good progress of monsoon particularly in August after some deficit in July raises hope of bumper Kharif harvest. Earlier there were reports about pink bollworm and locust attack but there was no adverse impact on the corp.

According to the compiled data, the area that sown under rice, oilseeds, pulses, cereals, and cotton have increased this year. The quantum and spread of monsoons have been good for the production of these corps. 

We expect positive news on the progress of monsoon from the government agencies by this week or at the end of August. A good monsoon is important because it will control food prices and high inflation. Any positive news on the monsoon will make the market cheers next week.
