CHNIND is trading at 6458.8, 0.02% up since previous day close. The CHNIND seems to be trading flat to higher side post release of key economic data. The Retail Sales grew by 5.4% from 2.7% in the previous month & the Industrial Production rose by 4.2% above expectation 3.8%. These upbeat estimates remained bullish for Asian shares. The cash injection by PBoC in the financial & economic system remains strong factor for bullishness in CHNIND. Earlier, the U.S CPI data showed a rise in inflation by 0.1% against the expected fall of 0.1% which raises the strong chance of interest rate hike by 75bps in the Fed’s next meeting. This weighs down the indices in beginning of the week. Slight buying bias may be established for the day in CHNIND.

Soybean is trading at $1445.07, 0.08% down since previous close. The selling pressure can be seen in agri-commodities since last few trading sessions against the strong USD.

Besides this, the change in climatic conditions in Argentina increases the production & supplies level of Soybean; as Argentina is a major beans producing country. The outcome of forthcoming FOMC meeting will remain vital for commodities. As seen in the chart, the Soybean is trading near MA (10) & MA (20) which indicates the chances of bullishness if breached.
