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

Asian markets showed mixed movements as investors awaited U.S. inflation data, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates. Wall Street saw a cautious start, with two of its major indices making slight gains. In India, the stock markets ended the day on a quiet note after two consecutive sessions of declines. The Nifty and Sensex moved within a narrow range during the day, with both indices recovering some of their losses before closing nearly flat. Earlier in the session, both benchmarks had dropped notably but managed to pare back much of their intraday declines by the close. Global markets remained subdued as traders focused on upcoming economic data and policy signals. Investors showed restraint in their trading decisions, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s next move and its impact on the broader economic environment.
