Market View 11th December 2023

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

A week that will feature significant US inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s final rate decision of the year is approaching, and Asian markets opened largely higher today. Japan’s indexes increased by more than 1%, the S&P/ASX 200 in Australia increased by 0.3%, and the Kospi in South Korea remained unchanged. Those in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland declined in the interim. Following a better-than-expected jobs report, traders reduced their expectations that the Federal Reserve would rapidly loosen monetary policy next year, which caused Treasury yields to spike, according to Bloomberg. On December 8, the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 Index increased by 0.45% and 0.41%, respectively. 0.36% more was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. A barrel of Brent crude ended 0.45% higher at $76.18. An ounce of gold dropped 1.26% to $2,003.41.
