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

As China’s biggest banks apparently prepare to drop interest rates and investors believe the Federal Reserve is about to finish its tightening campaign, Asian equity futures pointed to gains around the region on Wednesday. As a result of the news that Chinese state-owned lenders will lower interest rates on the majority of the country’s outstanding mortgages, contracts for stock benchmarks in Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong increased by approximately 0.7% and more than 1%, respectively. A measure of Chinese companies with U.S. listings increased 3.7%, bucking ongoing financial strain in the country’s real estate market. As the index closed just short of 4,500 on Tuesday, about 90% of the S&P 500 businesses had gains. A rally in megacaps like Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. sent the Nasdaq 100 up more than 2%. Meanwhile, Brent crude was trading above $85 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was above $81-mark. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 4.12% and Bitcoin was above 27,000-level. At 5:26 a.m., the GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 79 points or 0.41% at 19,425.5.
