Market View 28th April 2023

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

Asian equity markets were poised to rise after solid earnings from technology companies led to gains on Wall Street, offsetting the impact of a report showing slowing U.S. economic growth and higher-than-forecast inflation that caused treasuries to dip. Futures for benchmarks in Hong Kong, Japan and Australia all pointed to advances, with the latter two poised to notch monthly gains. The S&P 500 on Thursday jumped 2%, the most since January, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose 2.8% as a surge in advertising revenue helped Meta Platforms Inc. beat analyst estimates for profit, pushing the company’s shares 10% higher. Nasdaq 100 futures were little changed in early trading on Friday. Intel Corp. was higher in post-market trading after releasing results. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year treasuries in U.S. was trading at 3.52%. Crude prices dropped to $78-mark, while Bitcoin was trading above 29,000-level. At 5:48 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, was up 0.32% at 18,050.5. The domestic benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, again moved upwards in the last hour of trade to close around 0.6% higher. Indian rupee lost early gains against the U.S. dollar as the greenback got stronger in the overseas markets.
