Market View 8th February 2023

View on market: Stay Cautious, be with quality business:

Asian markets primed for a mixed open on Wednesday following a late rally in the U.S. shares in a volatile session after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell rebuffed an opportunity to tamp down investor optimism. The S&P 500 rose more than 1%, reversing a 0.6% drop. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed major benchmarks, climbing more than 2%. Powell highlighted that disinflation has begun, and that further hikes will likely be needed if the jobs market remains strong. At 6:05 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India’s benchmark Nifty 50, was up 0.27% at 17,777.5. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year Treasuries advanced to 3.66%. Crude prices were above $83-mark, Bitcoin hovered around $23,000-level. The Indian benchmark indices declined in trade on Tuesday after opening with slim gains amid volatility. Rupee closed higher against the U.S. dollar even as traders awaited the monetary policy decision, scheduled today.
