Market View 26th April 2023

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

Asian markets are poised to decline after U.S. benchmarks slid on Tuesday as fears of a banking crisis resurfaced. Contracts for equity indexes in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong all declined after the S&P 500 slid 1.6% on Tuesday and the Nasdaq 100 slipped 1.9%. U.S. futures advanced after markets closed in New York, following better-than-expected earnings from Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc. that sparked an after-hours rally in their shares. First Republic Bank shares tumbled 49% after the lender’s disappointing earnings on Monday, rekindling fears over the health of the US banking sector. UBS Group AG shares slid after results fell short of expectations, while Spotify Technology SA rose 5% after subscriber number surged. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year treasuries in U.S. was trading at 3.40%. Crude prices traded below $81-mark, while Bitcoin was trading above 28,000-level. At 5:35 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, was down 0.30% at 17,733.5. Domestic benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, pared losses to close near the day’s high, both rising 0.1% with the advances in public sector banks and energy stocks. Indian rupee closed flat against the U.S. dollar as the rise in domestic equities was countered by forex outflows and hardening crude prices.
