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 ( click here to view our previous editions ). The Dow Jones has almost stabilised at these 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.

Your 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 1995 levels will be a  short term resistance for the markets. The Nasdaq saw weekly highs of 1980 !!. ( click here to view our previous editions )Only above the 2000 mark, will the index show any signs of revival. The outlook has turned positive after 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 ( click here to view our previous editions ). 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.
