Market View 21st November 2023

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

Tuesday’s opening advances in Asian equities were spurred by Wall Street gains as U.S. stocks continued their explosive run and bond investors were drawn to a $16 billion sale of 20-year Treasuries. As the Japanese market fluctuated, shares of Australia and South Korea advanced. Monday saw the Nasdaq 100 reach a 22-month high and the S&P 500 close at its highest level since August. Nvidia Corp. and Microsoft Corp. both reached new highs in the midst of the AI resurgence. The outcomes of the U.S. bond auction on Monday caused the 10-year yield to abruptly reverse course and drop to about 4.4%. In the meanwhile, Bitcoin was trading above $37,000 while the yield on the 10-year US Treasury was trading at 4.41%. While WTI Crude was above the $82-mark, Brent Crude was above $77 per barrel.
