The market has now taken out some major resistance by 10,100 to open the door for fresh upside and a bullish continuation over the coming weeks. Next key resistance comes in by the 10,300 area, although, with daily studies now overbought, look for opportunities to buy on dips back towards 10,000 where a fresh higher low is now sought out.

Greece must buy into austerity or exit euro: Britain
Speaking at the Nato summit in Chicago, and three days before a crucial EU meeting, the PM said the leaders of the eurozone must now prepare for either outcome and be ready for the repercussions of the Greek vote, set for 17 June. The poll was called after Greek parties failed to form a new government earlier this month.
"It has to be absolutely clear there is a choice: they can vote to stay in the eu rozone and meet their commitments , or they can vote to give up on their commitments and effectively give up on the eurozone," he said.
No one could tell Greece's parties what to do, but Cameron can have left them in no doubt of how he feels. "The choice Greece faces is maintaining its commitments and maintaining its place in the eurozone or deciding that's not the path it wants to take.
Cameron also defended the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, whose insistence on austerity has been blamed for preventing the G8 summit from making progress. "Obviously she wants to make sure that countries in the eurozone that signed up to all sorts of commitments meet those commitments . She did show some flexibility in terms of what more can be done on the growth agenda."
While Cameron appealed to Greek voters to face reality , the Deputy P M, Nick Clegg, pleaded with German taxpayers to be patient with the Greeks.
"Whilst I have a huge amount of sympathy with German taxpayers, it is not sustainable to believe that the eurozone can thrive through fiscal discipline alone," he said.

Illicit outflow of money from India pegged at USD 104 billion
The illicit outflow of money from India has been estimated at USD 104 billion as of December last year, according to a report of the Global Financial Integrity (GFI). This has been disclosed by the White Paper on black money tabled in Parliament on Monday.
But the report does not give any estimate of the government about either black money in India or the amount stashed away in banks abroad.
GFI is an international agency that promotes national and multi-lateral policies, safeguards and agreements aimed at curtailing the cross-border flow of illegal money.
During the same period, the illicit outflow from China has been estimated by the GFI at USD 2,467 billion. The report quoted a 1984 estimate to Rs 37 crore in black money in India as assessed by the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy.
The White Paper said that one estimate made by Swiss national banks put the amount of Indian deposits in Swiss banks at about Rs 9,295 crore by the end of 2010.
The Swiss Ministry of External Affairs confirmed these figures when a reference was made by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs to them.
The paper said that from the table available on the website of Swiss national banks, it can be seen that the deposits of Indians in Swiss banks have decreased from Rs 23,373 crore in 2006 to Rs 9,295 crore in 2010.

Dollar could fall if Greece bails
Currency strategists say if Greece pulls out of the eurozone the dollar could fall much further.

THE Australian dollar could fall below US90¢ if Greece pulls out of the eurozone, the chief currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank warned as leaders from the G8 group of nations worked over the weekend to combat the region's financial turmoil.
The dollar fell to US98.24¢ on Friday, its lowest level in nearly six months, after Moody's downgraded 16 Spanish banks, and the Fitch Ratings agency reduced Greece's credit rating to CCC on fears that anti-austerity parties would win the country's new elections.
