Market View 14th October 2022

View on market: Stay Cautious, be with quality business:

Asian equities advanced in the wake of a shock rebound in US stocks that roared back from losses sparked by a hot inflation reading. Benchmark indexes jumped around 2% in Japan, Australia and South Korea while futures pointed higher in Hong Kong. The S&P 500 index defied expectations to rally 2.6% after consumer price data cemented bets for the Federal Reserve to deliver another jumbo rate hike in November. At 7:15 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — rose 1.67% to 17,241. Elsewhere, oil headed for a weekly loss as signs of a global economic slowdown and tighter monetary policy threaten to sap energy consumption. The International Energy Agency earlier warned production cuts agreed by OPEC+ risked causing oil prices to spike and tipping the global economy into recession.
