As par early SGX indication, Nifty Fut (Aug) may open around 9860, down by almost 54 points tracking subdued global cues after the tragic terrorist incident at a popular tourist place in Spain/Barcelona coupled with ongoing US political/policy paralysis and resignation squabbling (rumour) of Cohn, a key architect of Trump’s tax reform policy & his chief economic adviser and also the potential replacement of Yellen.

Although, Cohn has not resigned till now, he may be under immense pressure from intellect & corporate US to distance himself from Trump amid his controversial stance on the VA white nationalistic fiasco. Overall, US political & policy paralysis coupled with poor visibility of Trumponomics may be huge negative for the USD & risk assets including equity.

As corporate America is deserting Trump one by one, market may be unnerved as despite so much Trump tantrum, his corporate circle may be one of the elements of confidence boosting among the investors, as they still believed Trump’s ability to deliver his Trumponomics narratives. But, now the whole rhetoric of Trumponomics may be extremely doubtful not only for the ongoing daily US political entertainment, but may be also for limited fiscal maneuver room in the US budget itself.

Even, Trump’s own RNC GOP members now seems to be distancing themselves from the controversial hardcore nationalistic/racist image and all these may be also an indication that days of Trump as US Prez may be over; he may either resign or impeached shortly.

Although, yesterday’s overall US economic data may be mixed, the ongoing US political drama coupled with Cohn’s resignation buzz and above all, the tragic terrorist incident at Spain has made the USD & risk assets (US/global equity) lower. As a result, overnight US market (DJ-30) closed in deep red around 21751 (-1.24%) and SPX-500 now also trading almost flat around 2430 (+0.14%) on geo-political risk aversion.

Looking ahead, SPX-500 now need to sustain over 2420-2415 zone; otherwise 2395-2370 zone may be clearly visible.

Back to home, after opening in deep red, Indian market is now in further stress following surprised (?) resignation of Infy CEO Vishal Sikka amid an environment of trust deficit & repeated interference in the functioning of the Co by its founders. Although, Sikka has been reappointed as an executive VC, the role may be not clear for the market/investors.

Sikka was instrumental in reviving the performance of Infy, since he took over in 2014 and market has a great trust in his ability; thus his sudden resignation amid corporate governance & share buyback issues may have left the investors in jittery and subsequently Infy is down today by almost 7%, dragging the Nifty index by over 42 points alone. His resignation may also trigger more attrition among other key Infy people.

After Tata Sons fiasco with Mistry, this Infy incident may also raise concerns among the investors for the overall corporate governance of Indian promoters or legacy founders and their relationship with the professional CEOS in their cos, who are supposed to work for the betterment of the co independently without much interference from the founders and is answerable only to the board.

Thus, it may be best for the family oriented large Indian cos to appoint someone eligible within their family as CEO rather than taking service of an outsider, who may not be their “yes man” always; founders’ family have to come forward directly to manage their own co at driver’s seat, rather than trying to operate it through a remote control.
