View on market: Volatility persists, eagerly searching for growth:
US index futures moved lower in Asian trading after the minutes of the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed officials remained more worried about inflation than about the labor market. This cautious stance weighed on investor sentiment. In Asia, technology shares showed resilience as bargain hunting supported prices, though Japan’s market slipped. South Korea and Australia posted gains, while futures for Hong Kong stocks also advanced. On Wall Street, stocks ended lower for the fourth session in a row as investors pulled money from technology and consumer-focused companies and shifted into safer areas. The broader US market slipped slightly, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq fell more sharply. In India, equity benchmarks continued their winning run, closing higher for the fifth straight session. This marked the longest streak of gains in several months, signaling steady investor confidence. Looking ahead, traders will watch economic surveys from HSBC, the close of the parliamentary session, and the launch of new coal mine auctions.
