Market View 16th June 2023

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

The stock rally driven by the exuberance surrounding artificial intelligence is widening beyond the tech industry, defying naysayers and raising concern about an overbought market. Mounting bets that the Federal Reserve will end its tightening cycle sooner rather than later to prevent a recession added fuel to the equity advance, with the S&P 500 topping 4,400 and rising for a sixth straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average extended its advance from a September low to almost 20%, while the Nasdaq 100 closed at its highest since March 2022. Meanwhile, Brent crude was trading around $75 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate rose to $70. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 3.72%, whereas Bitcoin was around 25,000-level. At 05:23 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 0.42% at 18,838.5.
