Market View 19th December 2022

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

Asian stocks followed Wall Street lower Monday as the Federal Reserve’s resolve to keep raising rates and a wave of Covid in Beijing damped sentiment for riskier assets.  Shares dropped in Japan, South Korea and Australia. Equity futures pointed to a slight decline in Hong Kong and US contracts were marginally higher. The U.S. markets are witnessing a selloff after the hawkish commentary by the Fed even as it slowed the pace of rate hikes amid signs of easing U.S. inflation. The European Central Bank and Bank of England also maintained a similar stance while increasing rates last week. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% on Friday, while the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.9%. The Indian benchmarks, however, fell for the second straight week and closed lower on Friday. The Sensex ended 461 points, or 0.75%, lower, at 61,337.81, while the Nifty 50 was down 146 points, or 0.79%, at 18,266. Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors have continued to buy domestic equities in December. Having invested more than Rs 36,200 crore in November, they have net injected Rs 10,555 crore into Indian stocks so far this month. At 7:27 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — was up at 0.30% to 18,372.5.
