Anil Singhvi’s Strategy January 22: Market Trend is Neutral today; Buy Vedanta Futures with Stop Loss 152.50

Amid neutral global markets, domestic institutional investors (DIIs), futures & options (F&O) and negative foreign institutional investors (FIIs) cues, the short-term trend of the Indian stock markets will be neutral on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, while sentiment is cautious.

At the stock markets, key indices fell for the second straight day on Tuesday, January 21, 2020. The sentiment was dented after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered India's growth forecast. Subdued quarterly results by key index constituents and negative global cues also put pressure on domestic shares.
