“Markets are likely to turn volatile from now on. Possible tapering timeline from the Fed this week, rising bond yields in US, strengthening dollar (dollar index above 93) and news of crisis in the large Chinese real estate developer Evergrande are likely to weigh on markets. With valuations in stretched territory, corrections are possible, particularly in the broader market. On the positive side FIIs continue to buy imparting resilience to markets. But this can quickly change. Investors may adopt a wait and watch strategy till clarity emerges,”Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said.

US Stocks ended sharply lower in a broad sell-off on Friday, ending a week buffeted by strong economic data, corporate tax hike worries, the delta COVID variant, and possible shifts in the US Federal Reserve’s timeline for tapering asset purchases. Ten-year Treasury yields have risen ahead of the Fed meeting this week where policy makers are expected to start laying the groundwork for pairing stimulus.” Mohit Nigam, Head – PMS, Hem Securities said.
“Oil down on stronger greenback, rising US rig count. Iron ore will be closely watched after falling below $100 a metric ton for the first time in more than a year.

He will continue in his position till a new CFO is appointed) Bajaj Holdings (Board has approved an interim dividend of Rs 90 per equity share. The record date for the interim dividend will be Sept. 29, 2021). Crucial support for Nifty 50 is 17,300 while Nifty may face some resistance at 17,600.” Nigam added.
