Events to Watch today - 21/11/2013

WORLD MARKET
Asian stocks stumbled and the dollar stood tall on
Thursday after minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's
October meeting hinted at stimulus tapering, while the
euro was pressured by speculation of more easing by the
European Central Bank.
U.S. stock index futures were little changed Wednesday
ahead of the release of stimulus-influencing inflation data
and the minutes from the most recent Federal Reserve
policy-making meeting.
European shares inched higher on Wednesday,
recovering some of their poise after weakness in the
previous session, with traders citing a report that the
European Central Bank was mulling setting negative
deposit rates.
MARKET OUTLOOK FOR TODAY
Today, Indian equities are likely to lower due to global
weakness. Nikkei 225 is trading with broad based gains
ahead of a Bank of Japan policy decision due later in the
day. Weakness in the Japan's local currency further
supported the sentiments, boosting outlook for the
exporter stocks. With no major event back-home,
investors will look after the overseas trading for taking
directions for trading.
The US stocks closed lower on Wednesday, with the
S&P500 extending losses into a third day, after minutes
from the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed the
central bank could cut back on its bond-buying program
even if the job market doesn't improve dramatically.
Economists in US feel that reports could support markets
as they don't provide extra pressure for the Fed to tighten
policy. The medium-term outlook will remain positive as
the Nifty has retraced 61.8% of the previous rally from
4770 to 6229. The momentum indicator on the weekly
chart has given a positive crossover. However, News
based stocks to watch out for today may be RIL, NTPC,
HDFC, Bhushan Steel, Essar Oil, Jet Airways, Bombay
Dyeing and Ipca lab among others.
SGX nifty trading negative by about 24 points at this
morning may also push our market down at the opening
bell but later we may see stock specific move based on the news flow during the day.
