Market View 6th March 2023

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

Asian markets opened higher on Monday after the U.S. stocks ended last week on a positive note, driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve won’t raise interest rates beyond peak levels, as it is already priced in. Australian shares rose at the open while the U.S. futures declined. A rally in the S&P 500 on Friday helped snap a three-week losing streak while the Nasdaq 100 scored its best day since early February. Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year Treasuries advanced to 3.96%. Crude prices were trading around $85-mark, while Bitcoin was trading below 23,000-level. At 5:45 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India’s benchmark Nifty 50, was up 0.56% at 17,730. Indian benchmark indices—Sensex and Nifty—closed with 1.5% gains, which was the biggest single-day advance in four weeks. Rupee strengthened against the U.S. dollar amid high foreign fund inflow and rise in domestic equities.
