“Strong US job data is reinforcing Fed’s hawkish stance and multi-year high US bond yields is signalling an impending interest rate hike. Globally, investors are adopting risk-averse strategies due to inflation concerns and the strengthening US dollar. And in India, despite a robust economy, premium valuations of midcaps and recent rally is augmenting consolidation. Interest-rate-sensitive sectors like real estate, banking, and metals are the most impacted category, while the FMCG sector is more optimistic in expectation of near-normal monsoon & festival demand. Auto is consolidating amid mixed growth numbers and in this weak period, large-cap are a trading safe to hold on,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Markets remained volatile for yet another week but managed to end in the green. The beginning was downbeat, tracking feeble global cues but the situation improved in the following sessions with stability in the world indices. However, pressure in the IT majors combined with the prevailing underperformance of the banking pack continues to weigh on the sentiment. Eventually, both the benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, settled with modest gains to close at 19,751.05 and 66,282.74 levels. Meanwhile, buoyancy in select key sectors like auto, FMCG, energy and realty kept the traders occupied. Besides, the positive tone on broader indices further eased the pressure.

So far since April, FIIs have net sold nearly Rs 37,400 crore worth of shares in India. Mohanty also said that the ongoing volatility due to the general elections should be seen as an opportunity given India’s structural growth prospects. Excerpts:

The ongoing sell-off from FIIs is largely due to the elections and low China valuations. And to be fair, they have made money. Anybody who leaves making money is always good for the markets. But t…

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are not happy about it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While the Duffer Brothers are reportedly quite involved with marketing efforts for their massively successful Netflix series, the show is too big at this point for them to see everything, and the game seems to have slipped by, causing the brothers to have a “total meltdown” according to sources.
