Market View 19th July 2023

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

Equity markets in Asia are poised for a mixed open as China’s growth concerns continued to weigh on markets even as stocks extended their rally in the U.S. Futures for benchmarks in Australia and Japan rose, while contracts for stocks in Hong Kong declined. The worst day in almost a month for U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies also reflected souring sentiment. Markets in the U.S. closed near session highs on Tuesday, as results from Bank of America Corp. and Morgan Stanley bolstered bank shares and a rally in equities linked to artificial intelligence resumed. Brent crude was below $80 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was around the $76-mark. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 3.79%, whereas Bitcoin was below 30,000-level. At 5:40 a.m., the GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was unchanged at 19,893.5.
