Nik’s Diary

The Nifty was expected to open in green due to positive start to most Asian Indices. However, there is a huge pessimism in the markets due to the ongoing worries about the Fiscal Cliff. The pessimism took an exponential hike when the talks were broken down between the Democrats (Obama) and the House Speaker John Boehner. The White House and Congressional leaders have until January 1 of the New Year to work out a budget deal. Hence prepare yourself for an exciting first week of the New Year. The matter of fact is that Washington’s news has overshadowed the batch of upbeat economic data, including a report showing a bigger than expected increase in durable goods orders which increased by 0.7% in November following a 1.1% increase in October. The Commerce Department also released a separate report showing a much bigger than expected increase in personal income in November. Traders are likely to keep a close eye on developments in Washington as the fiscal cliff deadline approaches. The budget negotiations are likely to once again overshadow a batch of economic data, including reports on new home sales, consumer confidence, and Chicago-area business activity.
