Market Outlook 23/10/08

Wall street crash will effect indian market now

It was a very bad day for indian market yesterday as it started falling right from the opening bell and never really recovered till the end closing below 3100 and in all probability set to open deep down today due to weak global cues.On global side, wall street crashed due to deep recession and weak corporate earnings following a raft of disappointing profits and outlooks from major U.S. companies.For many U.S. companies, the damage has already begun.The outlook for the global economy is bad.Stocks dropped across Asia and Europe, falling even harder in South America, where Brazil's Bovespa index and Argentina's Merval had losses near 10 percent. Argentina's president announced plans to nationalize private pension funds to protect retirees from the financial crisis.The dollar hit multiyear highs against several other major currencies, weighing on commodity prices.The Dow Jones industrial average fell 514.45 to 8,519.21, after being down as much as 698 points in the final half hour of trading.Light, sweet crude fell $5.43 to $66.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after falling as low as $66.20.So, for today nifty below 3045 will directly test 2945 strong support area and break below that, one more big support is only at 2850.On upper side, 3000 will act as big hurdle for today.Volatility may continue today also.

Stock watch for the day:

Reliance Infra (472): Short this stock with stop loss 486 for target 445-415.
