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 10,300 - 10,400 levels. The Dow
Jones has almost seen 10300 levels and has room for a fresh 200 point
upmove. Expect the 10,000 levels to be a good short term base for this
index in the near term.

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. This index has made a new 22 month high recently and has been
advocated by us as making a saucer formation. The relative strength of
this index is turning lower than that of the Dow. Last week, we
forecast that the 1900 levels will be a short term support for the
markets. The Nasdaq saw weekly lows of 1902 !!. On the upsides, expect
resistance at the 1995 levels. Only above the 2000 mark, will the index
show any signs of revival. The outlook has turned positive after Saddam's
capture and improved employment data.

FTSE
- This index measures the outlook on the London stock exchange. As we have
been forecasting a 4460 level resistance, this index is unable to surpass
that point on a closing basis and show any short term strength. The
support is at the 4300 levels. Our outlook is positive for this index as
the oscillators are pointing towards an upmove. Expect the rally to see
4600 levels.
