The 17 per cent rally in S&P 500 from mid June to mid August was primarily pushed by expectation that with declining inflation Fed would pivot in the direction of decrease rates of interest by early 2023. This expectation has been belied by Powell’s message that charges will go up and stay there for ‘sometime’,” stated V Ok Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

“The sharp rise in the Dollar index above 109 and the 10-year bond yield spiking to 3.1 per cent are negative for capital flows to EMs like India. FPIs are unlikely to continue buying in India in this scenario. The ‘buy on dips’ texture of the market is unlikely to hold. Investors should not rush in to buy the dips now. Better wait for the dust to settle,” he famous.
