Daily Market Strategy - Fed does it! Sensex, Nifty set to join global cheer at start

The outlook is a positive start. The Nifty is finally approaching the critical resistance level, which is neckline of the bearish head and shoulder on the daily chart. If Nifty manages to close above the neckline level of 7810, we expect the current momentum to further extend. Global cues are upbeat. S&P 500 has gained 1.45%

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
The US economy seems to have got a vote of confidence with the Fed raising its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 0.25%-to-0.50% at the conclusion of its two-day meeting. What lies ahead is hard to guess as Janet Yellen says the pace of rate hikes in future wouldn't be ‘equally spaced.’ For India, a Fed rate hike means that RBI will have lesser leeway to cut rates. Even though US rates are not the only criteria for setting the Indian rates, it still does play some part in RBI’s decision.
 
The outlook is a positive start. The Nifty is finally approaching the critical resistance level, which is neckline of the bearish head and shoulder on the daily chart. If Nifty manages to close above the neckline level of 7810, we expect the current momentum to further extend. Global cues are upbeat. S&P 500 has gained 1.45%. The Dow jumped 1.28%  and Nasdaq added 1.52% .

US companies with good credit quality will be able to afford the 0.25% increase in short-term interest rates announced by the US Federal Reserve, but credit risk will increase for some weaker companies because refinance risk will rise for them as interest rates edge higher and the debt market becomes increasingly risk averse, says Moody's Investors Service.
