Daily Market Strategy – Changing by the moment! F&O expiry to swing indices

Back home, the outlook is a positive start. Indices could swing wildly as F&O expiry comes into play today. The January jolt has kept many investors on the backfoot and FII selling has been one of the highest for the month of January since 2008.


Who you are moment to moment is just a story. - Chuck Palahniuk
 
The Fed story was on expected lines as  the US central bank chose to keep interest rates unchanged at the FOMC meeting. However, Fed was not as dovish as market participants were expecting, considering the fragile global economic landscape and tumbling equities. Although Fed stated that it is closely monitoring global economic developments, it reiterated its moderately optimistic outlook on US economy, elaborating that rate hike will be gradual and data-driven. This implies that the central bank will persist with the process of policy normalization.  It appears that contemporary central banks are too fickle and they can mince their words, considering the prevalent deterioration in global economic picture.
