TECHOUTLOOK : Support for the Nifty is at 4820 and resistance at 4980.

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in a negative terrain and trade volatile on the back mixed trend seen on Asian counters.

On the global space: Wall St Week Ahead: Europe, China woes fuel earnings fears. Investors are worried US earnings growth may finally fall back to earth as turmoil in Europe and signs of a less robust Chinese economy hurt foreign support. The euro zone's debt crisis and weakness in China have fueled investor concern that the global economy could tip back into recession, possibly dampening US earnings growth at a time when the US economy is still struggling to gain ground

Asian markets trading lower; Hang Seng shed 3.8%.

Europe: European markets too were weak, the FTSE closing 1.32% lower and the CAC too pulled down by the negative sentiment with regard to the French banks. All of them closed badly. In fact, news from the Eurozone is even more worrying now. The inflation rate in the region has jumped up 3% in September on a month-on-month basis. Also, Greece has now come out with a statement that they will be defaulting on their debt this year and budget deficit is likely to come in 8.5% of GDP, missing the 7.6% target set by the EU and IMF. The finance ministers of the Eurozone are scheduled to meet at Luxemburg shortly.

Back to Indian Markets are following global cues, so we continue to hold a cautious outlook with support 4820 and resistance at 4980.
