Live Updates 15:38 (IST) 10 Mar 2023 Investors remain cautious
“Investors remain cautious in investing in equity while stock markets remain volatile in February 2023. Further, we have seen that investors are basically holding on investing a lump sum in equities and looking for markets to stabilise and then take a call on the Indian equity market.”

15:36 (IST) 10 Mar 2023 Selling intensifies
“The global market’s cautious attitude towards the probability of a sharper rate hike was exacerbated by further negative signs from the US market. Selling intensified as the market awaited the release of US unemployment and non-farm payroll data, which will have a significant impact on the upcoming Fed meeting. However, higher-than-expected jobless claims in the US that came in yesterday helped alleviate some concerns about the Fed becoming stricter.”

14:58 (IST) 10 Mar 2023 Indian equities underperformed relative to EMs
“Indian equities have underperformed relative to Emerging Markets this year after the sharp outperformance seen in the last year. This has brought down India Premium valuations to Emerging markets closer to Long term averages. Absolute valuations too have corrected. However, global inflation remains above the target zones of most central banks. We therefore, expect central banks to keep interest rates high for a period of time until they are comfortable with inflation dynamics.”

“The Nifty Index fell by 1.08% last week, while the Sensex fell by about 1.13%. While the BSE SmallCap Index increased by 0.44%, the BSE Midcap Index only lost 0.09%. Indian equity markets continued to be concerned due to the slowdown, increased interest rates, and valuation, as well as an upward trend in US inflation and a negative trend in India. The remarks of Fed Chairman Powell, who suggested that the Fed may need to raise interest rates more than initially anticipated, had an effect on the mood of the world markets.”

10:02 (IST) 10 Mar 2023 Hunt for reversal chances
“Our stance yesterday was to expect 17,480/50 and the turn lower evolved even before 17,842 was tested, highlighting the underlying weakness. With a good deal of this move unfolding yesterday, the play today is to hunt for reversal chances. Ability to float above 17,530 would be an early sign towards the same, but consistent trades below 17,450 could call for 17,280-17,000.”
– Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

08:48 (IST) 10 Mar 2023 Pre market opening outlook
“Markets are likely to drift lower in early trades Friday and could take further plunge on the back of weak global cues. Markets are currently pricing in a 78% probability of a 50 basis points (bps) rate hike by the US Fed in its next meeting, reigniting the recession fears. The focus would also be on the US jobs report which is likely to trickle in late in the evening today. Economists are expecting the U.S. economy to have added 225,000 jobs, which would be down from January’s 517,000. However, a retreating US Dollar and the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield too slipping to 4.809% and the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury was seen dipping to the 3.88% level can provide some solace to markets.”
