Market View 19th July, 2024

View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value

Most share indices in the Asia-Pacific region extended losses, taking cues from their Wall Street peers as sell off in technology stocks continued. A week of market fluctuations saw major US stock indices decline while smaller firms and those beyond the mega-cap technology sector thrived, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. India’s benchmark stock indices ended at a fresh record high for the fourth consecutive session amid volatility, led by gains in Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Infosys Ltd. Overseas Investors remained net buyers of Indian equities for the fourth consecutive session foreign portfolio investors mopped up stocks worth Rs 5,485 crore.
