Market View 19th June 2023

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

Australian dollar and U.S. equity futures rose in early Asian trading on Monday amid signs of improving ties between the U.S. and China, while contracts for benchmarks in Asia showed muted moves. Futures contracts for Australian and Hong Kong equities were slightly lower, mirroring the decline in U.S. stocks on Friday, while Japanese contracts made a small advance. The small advance on Monday follows positive signs that Sino-U.S. relations will thaw, and also ongoing optimism that China will unleash fresh stimulus to boost its flagging recovery. U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed for the Juneteenth holiday Monday. The S&P 500 declined 0.4% on Friday to end a six-session streak of advances as investors look for more insight on Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. Meanwhile, Brent crude was trading around $76 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was around $71. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 3.76%, whereas Bitcoin was below 27,000-level. At 5:40 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 0.01% at 18900.5.
