View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value
Asian equities gained following a strong performance in technology stocks, which helped Wall Street reach a new record high. Oil prices dropped after President Donald Trump urged OPEC to reduce crude prices and pushed for interest-rate cuts. Technology stocks played a significant role in driving the stock market higher, with many shares in the S&P 500 rising. The gains were also supported by optimism over Trump’s policies, particularly his focus on artificial intelligence. In India, stock markets continued their upward trend, with notable performances from UltraTech Cement and information technology companies, driven by strong earnings and positive sentiment around Trump’s AI policies. Shares of companies like Coforge and Persistent Systems saw significant increases after reporting better-than-expected earnings. Overall, technology stocks led the charge, and the market was buoyed by hopes surrounding AI development and economic policies.
