Market View 29th August 2023

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

As traders awaited a slew of economic data over the next few days for hints on the prospects for global central bank policy, Asian stocks were ready to follow U.S. equities higher. Following the S&P 500’s first back-to-back advances in August, equity futures for Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia all pointed to gains on Tuesday. The S&P 500 stayed close to 4,400 during a trading session that was rather quiet. The risk-off sentiment in August showed some signs of easing, but the US equity benchmark is still on track for its worst month since 2023 as the narrative of higher rates for longer took hold. West Texas Intermediate was trading above the $79 barrier while Brent crude was trading below the $85 mark. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 4.20% and Bitcoin was above 26,000-level. At 5:29 a.m., the GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 44 points or 0.23% at 19,350.5.
