Market View 18th November 2022

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

Asian stocks edged higher Friday amid investor caution after Federal Reserve officials warned of more pain ahead as they raise interest rates to fight inflation. The dollar steadied after gains on Thursday. Oil was poised for a weekly loss of almost 8% as concerns over a worsening demand outlook filtered through the crude market. Gold fell 0.7%, while Bitcoin saw marginal rise of 1.1% to $16,859. Indian benchmarks indices snapped their two-day rally as utilities, consumer durables and auto stocks weighed down the market. Rupee closed lower against the U.S. dollar for second day in a row on account of a stronger greenback and muted domestic equities. At 6:15 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — gained 0.05% to 16,383.05.
