Market View 28th September 2023

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

As investors anticipated higher interest rates and soaring oil costs following the extension of crude’s one-year high, shares in Asia slumped. Japanese and New Zealand equity indices fell, while Australian stocks were unchanged after suffering losses earlier. Prior to their reopening on October 9, 2023, mainland Chinese markets will stop trading on Thursday. U.S. futures edged up after Wall Street closed Wednesday flat, failing to save a widely followed index of global shares from falling for the ninth time in a row, which would have been its longest losing streak in a decade. WTI Crude prices were above $94 while Brent Crude prices were trading above $97 per barrel. The yield on a 10-year US bond was 4.61%, and the price of Bitcoin fell below the 27,000 mark.
