Now it is interesting to watch whether Nifty crosses 6340-6360 levels to move ahead. Just 2 days before Dec.2013 derivative expiry, Nifty Dec fut was closing with nearly 25 points premium and can be considered this is because of short covering in the specific expiry. Some volatility will be there because of this expiry on next week.

   Mr.Rajan said economic growth was weak and inflation was high, which was a cause for concern. Both monetary and fiscal policies were essential to tackle inflationary pressures, he said. Regarding the fiscal policy, Rajan said the Finance Minister had laid down a road map that is expected to keep the fiscal situation under control. The government's fiscal deficit target is 4.8 per cent of GDP in this financial year. Aligning diesel prices with international rates would definitely control the fiscal deficit, the Governor said. "In the short term, hiking diesel prices will have an inflationary impact. But in the long run, this will lead to deficit reduction," he observed. 

Nifty Outlook :
Spot Nifty has given a negative closing on weekly basis even after making new high of 6415.25 on the 1st day of the week. Now Nifty should sustain above 6140 or give close above the level for the next week to continue this uptrend. Market will be volatile and the movement will be depend on RBI mid quarter policy outcome and Tapering in bond purchase in the U.S. and definitely this will direct the market in coming weeks.
Immediate Support : 6140
Immediate Resistance : 6190
