Speaking on US stocks' rally, Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy and Trading Officer at Vantage said, "Wall Street’s favorite volatility gauge tumbled as a rebound in stocks deepened, with a surge in banks and assurances from authorities easing concern the recent financial tumult would lead to a full-blown crisis. Whatever the case, the coordinated actions to resolve the banking turmoil have restored a semblance of order for now. The market’s so-called fear barometer, or VIX, saw its biggest two-day plunge since May."
FOMC meeting in focus
As two days FOMC meeting is ending today and the final verdict on US Fed's rate hike is expected today. However, market will keep a focus on the US Fed's commentary on bank crisis in US as well.
On FOMC meeting outcome, Ritika Chhabra, Quant Macro Strategist at Prabhudas Lilladher PMS said, "Despite concerns regarding the ongoing banking crisis, the Fed will raise the FFR by 25bps in the upcoming FOMC meeting. The central bank will reiterate its commitment to restore price stability. It will try to allay financial stability concerns by tapping liquidity facilities, without changing its monetary stance."
If the US Fed raises interest rates, the cost of capital increases, leading to lower stock valuations. Following the US Fed’s announcement of a likely increase in interest rates, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have started pulling out of Indian and other emerging equity markets. We are a major importer of crude oil, and continuous selling by FIIs results in rupee depreciation and a higher import bill. This, in turn, has a negative impact on our current account balance," said Arvinder Singh Nanda, Senior Vice President at Master Capital Services.
