Market View 14th June 2023

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

Asian markets were poised to climb as traders bet that a slowdown in U.S. inflation had minimised any risk of the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates later on Wednesday. Big tech led equity gains, with the Nasdaq 100 up almost 2% and the S&P 500 topping its closely watched 4,325 mark. Both gauges closed at the highest levels since April 2022, on Tuesday. Futures for Japan pointed to a gain of more than 1% while contracts for Australia and Hong Hong Kong were also higher. Investors in Asia are also taking positive cues from the outlook from the Bank of Japan, which is expected to keep its ultra-easy policy unchanged Friday, and the People’s Bank of China, which is seen as a chance of cutting its medium-term lending facility rate on Thursday. Meanwhile, Brent crude traded above $74 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was below $70. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 3.82%, whereas Bitcoin was below 26,000-level. At 05:37 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 0.26% at 18,833.5.
