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

Asian stock markets saw modest gains in early trading on Wednesday as investors searched for direction amid weaker consumer confidence in the US. Japan’s market edged higher, while South Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong also recorded slight increases. US stock futures were also up, with key indices showing positive momentum. Wall Street saw a late rally despite concerns over economic signals. In India, markets extended their winning streak for the seventh session, reaching their longest run since late 2024. However, after hitting a multi-month high, gains were trimmed. The Nifty 50 briefly crossed an important milestone before settling slightly higher, while the Sensex also ended with minimal gains. Overall, global markets remained cautious but stable, with investors assessing economic conditions and market trends.
