Market View 6th October 2022

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

Investors signaled further belief in a fledgling equity rally as US futures erased a Wednesday decline and Asian stock markets traded higher as markets downplay concern that a cut in oil production would stoke inflation. Stocks in Japan and South Korea opened higher, while Australian equities quickly pared morning losses, tracking a rise in US futures that reversed a small decline in the S&P 500 on Wednesday. At 7:00 am, the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — rose 0.5% to 17,426.50. The pound gained ground even after Fitch Ratings downgraded its UK outlook to negative. Elsewhere, OPEC+ decided to reduce daily oil production by two million barrels on Wednesday, sending the US oil benchmark to a three-week high.
