Market View 3rd October 2022

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

Stocks in Asia struggled to make headway and US equity futures fell as negative sentiment persisted in markets amid fears that central banks across the world will keep hiking rates until inflation is under control. Equities dropped in Japan and Australia. Trading in Asia may be muted by a holiday in Sydney and South Korea on Monday and the week-long closure of Chinese markets for Golden Week. In the U.S., risk assets tumbled after the Federal Reserve delivered a third jumbo hike last month and officials repeatedly warned of more pain to come. At 8:00 am, the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — fell 0.82% to 16,947.5. US President Joe Biden declared that a massive leak from the Nord Stream gas pipeline system in the Baltic Sea was an intentional act. Investors are now awaiting jobs data next week for further clues about the Fed’s rate-hike trajectory. Upcoming inflation and GDP readings will also provide details on whether price pressures are easing meaningfully.
