Lower levels of 17400-17350 might provide support to the market: Ashika Stock Broking

Tirthankar Das, technical & derivative analyst, retail, Ashika Stock Broking: On the technical front, Nifty formed a long bull candle on the daily chart breaching past the crucial resistance zone of 17500 indicating that positive biasness to continue and more upside is awaited. However, momentum oscillators are witnessing overbought levels, but no signs of exhaustion can be seen yet, the indicator though has flattened during the period. On the downside, the psychological level of 17,000 which further coincides with the 200dma would be the immediate short-term trend deciding level for the market. On the upside, one can eventually expect Nifty to head towards 17900 levels as it is 80% retracement of entire decline off October 2021 to June low (18600-15200). Thus, any temporary breather should not be construed as negative instead buy on dips strategy should remain in focus. During the day, Nifty is likely to open on a slight negative note, however, lower levels of 17400-17350 might provide support to the market.

US inflation will likely stay high even as gas prices fall

Americans may finally be catching a break from relentlessly surging prices — if just a slight one — even as inflation is expected to remain painfully high for months.

Thanks largely to falling gas prices, the government's inflation report for July, to be released Wednesday morning, is expected to show that prices jumped 8.7% from a year earlier — still a sizzling pace but a slowdown from the 9.1% year-over-year figure in June, which was the highest in four decades.

The forecast by economists, if it proves correct, would raise hopes that inflation might have peaked and that the run of punishingly higher prices is beginning to ease slightly.

Elon Musk sells $6.9 billion of Tesla shares, says he was done

Elon Musk sold $6.9 billion of shares in Tesla Inc. according to regulatory filings Tuesday, just months after saying he didn’t plan to sell any more stock in the pioneering electric-car maker.

Tesla’s chief executive officer offloaded about 7.92 million shares on Aug. 5, according to the new filings. The sale comes just four months after the world’s richest person said he had no further plans to sell Tesla shares after disposing of $8.5 billion of stock in the wake of his now-pulled deal to buy Twitter Inc.

Musk, 51, has now sold around $32 billion worth of stock in Tesla over the past 10 months.

Food inflation eases, but uncertain crops slow wider relief

While the outlook for global crops is improving from the tumultuous weeks after Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the threats of drought, flooding and blistering heat are keeping supplies tight and prices elevated.

Crop futures have retreated to pre-war levels, and the UN’s monthly measure of food prices sank the most since 2008. That’s offering some relief to consumers who have faced rampant food inflation since the start of the pandemic. Still, the war is putting more pressure on farmers from the US to India to replace crop losses and shipments from Ukraine -- a key supplier to poorer nations in the Middle East and Africa.
