Bond yields rise again to 1.49% as markets see higher cost of money with Federal Reserve expanding balance sheet for further stimulus.
Asian markets opened in the red led by the Japanese Nikkei, which traded lower by over 400 points in early trade. The other markets will also see pressure on prominent winners as markets look to rotate out of technology stocks & into cyclicals with volatility index also seeing highest close in over a month. Chinese stocks will also see volatile moves as Hong Kong index sees change in composition with Chinese listed stocks seeing changes.
The Nifty saw another superb session with banks leading the short covering/value buying day as the index closed higher by over 325 points or 2%. Bank Nifty was the main leader as it closed higher by 950 points or nearly 4%. Mid caps saw profit booking even as IT & pharma stocks saw a strong comeback.
