Global stocks fall : All eyes on Budget and Economic Survey - India

"Nifty had a free fall " - almost getting it to 7800 mark and then dropping suddenly below 7700 levels . As posted earlier I don't see much of buying at current levels , there may be euphoria on budget day but I expect some correction on equities globally . I am closing my long Nifty futures at 7650 and expect the Nifty to close below 7700 for July series . Coming up today Economic Survey which gives us current economic scenario and measures taken during the last year , and budget coming up tomorrow . Budget failed to impress the markets but some good measures that government will allow FDI participation to improve quality and growth for railways.

Will be looking to square of my positions after the budget . Earning season start next week with Infosys announcing its Q1 results on July 11 . We also have the budget on July 10 and hence expecting lot of volatility next week . US employment figures jumped in June and the jobless rate is below 6.5 threshold of the Fed for the third time in a row . This indicates that economy is picking up as an whole , fiscal deficit also narrowed down due to jump in exports last month . Global equities jumped on the results and most of the stocks trade near all time high last week . Looks like equities are bit stretched and will be looking to sell towards end of this month . Dollar was strong across the board among major currencies except for Canadian Dollar and I am already long doll
