- Astro tension: Rahu remains in Dhanishta Nakshatra until 5th December 2026, while Saturn stays retrograde until 11th December 2026. This combination may result in sharp volatility, with unexpected rallies as well as sudden falls. Reduce F&O and options trading, avoid overtrading and leverage, and strictly avoid margin trading or MTF until December. Investors should be financially and mentally prepared for sudden gap-ups and gap-downs.
- BSE on CAS: BSE remains in constant touch with regulators and is collecting feedback from dealers before presenting it to the authorities. Until a practical solution emerges, market veterans suggest focusing on a few selected growth-oriented stocks that have delivered strong Q1 EBITDA and PAT growth and provided an optimistic Q2 FY27 outlook. Investors should also remain highly selective as a large number of IPOs are expected over the next 3-4 months.
- Big global alert: Prolonged geopolitical tensions and rising inflation are pushing bond yields higher across major economies, increasing the possibility of further rate hikes and pressure on corporate profits. France’s 10Y yield reached 4.16%, Germany 3.31%, Italy 4.15%, the US 4.80%, India 7% and Japan crossed 3%. With government debt and fiscal deficits rising, central banks may face pressure to expand their balance sheets, potentially fuelling inflation further. Be prepared for a roller-coaster ride in global interest-rate markets.
- US Fed alert: Fed Governor Barr warned that interest rates may need to be raised if inflation fails to cool. The next Federal Reserve meeting is scheduled for 15th-16th September 2026, making the outcome important for global markets.
- Market veteran view: Analysis based purely on past years and historical trends may no longer be sufficient as the market environment, demand and supply dynamics have changed significantly. Current price movements are increasingly influenced by genuine supply shortages and limited production capacity, rather than speculation alone. Investors should therefore focus on present demand-supply conditions and future capacity rather than relying only on historical price behaviour.
- 8 rules for successful trading: 1) Let trades hit TP or SL to control greed and fear. 2) Trade only when multiple confirmations align. 3) Stick to one strategy instead of constantly switching. 4) Avoid joining multiple forex groups that create confusion. 5) Higher timeframes remain the key reference. 6) Keep strategies simple; complexity does not guarantee profits. 7) Patience is essential — trading is largely the skill of waiting. 8) Maintain a trade journal to analyse every win and loss and improve future decisions.
