13:15 (IST) 1 Aug 2022 Important to assess markets and investment opportunities
“Economic indicators from across the globe continue to give mixed signals. With US GDP falling for the second consecutive quarter, meeting the definition of recession, US treasury 2 Yr. and 10 Yr. spread is trading in negative territory, which is used as a predictor of recession. However, market participants continued to throw caution to the wind as indicated by the sharp rally in benchmark indices. Closer home, even though the INR has depreciated against the USD, it continues to be the best performing currency among the emerging countries. Further, record FPI flows after 6 months of consecutive selling and relatively stable inflation numbers compared to other global majors, bode well for Indian markets. Having said that, it is always important to assess markets and investment opportunities with through an asset allocation perspective. Inarguably, there are interesting investment opportunities in the market at the current juncture. At the same time, not all opportunities are available at compelling valuations. Thus, your decision-making should be led by your asset allocation strategy coupled with the long-term outlook for the market.”

“Technically, the index has formed a ‘Higher Top Higher Bottom’ formation on the daily chart and is retracing the previous downtrend. It has surpassed the 50 per cent retracement of the entire down move from the high of 18600 to 15180 and is now approaching the 61.8 per cent retracement which is seen around 17300.
