Market View 21st October 2022

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

Stocks in Asia dropped following after another down day for US equities, with Treasury yields at the highest level since the global financial crisis. Hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials and swaps pricing in a 5% peak policy rate in 2023 should continue to support the greenback against its major peers and emerging-market currencies. India benchmarks indices managed to close in green during the final hours of a volatile day, aided by energy, information technology, and power stocks. Meanwhile, the rupee recovered from its record low of 83 against the U.S. dollar. At 6:43 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — gained 0.09% to 17,535.
