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

Asian markets started in the green as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes rose the most since Sept 19 as a better-than-expected US jobs report bolstered expectation of a soft landing for the economy. Nevertheless, the key Indian equity indices defined the worst weekly decline in more than two years to escalating tensions in the Middle East. These geopolitical concerns have caused a negative effect on investor sentiment as overseas investors remain net sellers in the fifth straight session. Concentrating on the Asian markets, the trend illustrates the positive movement in the market that is offset by issues faced in Indian equities, pointing to a multifaceted market that both global and regional factors premised on the mechanical structure of the markets.
