Market View & Strategy
Global interest rate has been increased since March 2022 and this rate hike cycle is one of the steepest paces of hike, but now there are enough indicator to believe that we are near to end and global central banks has refused to comment on future rate hike, keeps door open for pause or pivot. Any official confirmation of pause or pivot will be bullish for risk-on sentiment.
Going into trade for 3-Apr-23 to 6-Apr-23, 3-trading day week with RBI MPC meeting outcome on 6-Apr-23, we expect high volatility with positive bias. We maintain positive view on market with expectation of Indices to test upper end of the range mentioned in technical view ahead of quarterly earning season which could begin from 2nd week of April 2023.
