Summary

Today likely to be a gap up, SGX nifty is up 230 points. Point is will it sustain and build on the gap up or will it fizzle out we have seen happening in recent days. Geo political tension, Fed commentary, raising case of Covid in china all are be watched out for. As for indices, I will be looking for buy opportunity on long side. Also hoping for my metal portfolio pays off.

Good day and good trading, Sindbad off!
