Market View 22nd November 2023

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

Asia markets fell as the Federal Reserve’s cautious stance was reaffirmed in the minutes, and the rebound in US benchmarks stopped. Australian equities saw minimal movement, while shares in South Korea and Japan fell. Hong Kong equity index futures and U.S. equity index futures both indicated downward. Tuesday saw a decline in U.S. benchmarks following the S&P 500’s $6 trillion surge driven by the growth of artificial intelligence, the tenacity of Corporate America, and expectations that the Fed will switch to rate cuts in 2019. The index was only 5% short of reaching its peak after the advances. In the meantime, Bitcoin fell below the 36,000 mark and the yield on the 10-year US Treasury was trading at 4.39%. While WTI Crude was above $77 per barrel, Brent Crude was above $82.
