Market View 20th January 2023

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

Asian markets were set for a mixed open on Friday after US benchmarks declined for a third day as risks like rising interest rates, economic growth and earnings kept sentiment in check. Australian and Japanese shares were little changed while Hong Kong was set for gains. The selloff in US stocks showed some signs of easing, with the S&P 500 ending down 0.8% on Thursday and less than the 1.6% slide a day earlier. At 5:58 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India’s benchmark Nifty 50, was up 0.02% to 18,118. Crude prices rose more than 1%, and Bitcoin was up to trade above $21,000-level. Indian benchmark indices snapped their two-day rally to close lower, dragged by auto and bank stocks. Rupee closed lower against the U.S. dollar on the back of muted performance of domestic equity market.
