Share Market Update | Master Capital Services' Arvinder Singh Nanda's  view on market  

"The Indian equity market was expecting (Fed's) quarter of a percentage point interest rate hike. The Indian market had already discounted the rate hike itself in a recent sell-off. Rising interest rates make it expensive for people to borrow and spend. The US dollar is expected to find selling pressure as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have started pulling out of Indian equity markets. IT, Banking and export-oriented Auto stocks are expected to become highly volatile. One should opt to buy on a dips strategy. Nifty is edging close to 17,200, and we believe there will be some volatility in the near term. Near-term trends will likely be soft owing to higher interest rates, tight liquidity, weakening rupee, pent-up demand in FY23-24, and slowing global growth," says Arvinder Singh Nanda, Senior Vice President, Master Capital Services Ltd.
