The month has not been great so far, with the ongoing war remaining at its peak. While there were murmurs from the US administration following the market close on Friday regarding a desire to end the conflict, a resolution may not happen solely on US terms.
Although significant damage is already done and there may not be an easy path back, markets remain unpredictable. Once investors sense a positive path ahead, even if it is six months away, they will begin pricing that in. Unless something catastrophic occurs, it is difficult to remain entirely pessimistic, especially considering that current indices are down by only double digits, which is not as severe as many periods in the past.
Nifty on the Daily Chart
The past week was mixed, featuring three positive updates before a collapse triggered by damage to energy infrastructure. Until Wednesday, while the war was escalating, supply chains seemed to be easing as India received oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
However, Wednesday night saw attacks on an LNG plant in Qatar and an Iranian plant by the US. This has made the market jittery, as the loss of significant energy infrastructure can take years to repair, leading to extreme supply shortages and inflation. Most of the gains from earlier in the week were lost due to this fear.
Nifty – Weekly Chart Perspective
On a weekly basis, the saving grace is that the market did not lose ground overall. After three weeks of declines, the S&P 500 was down 0.16% this week, though it dropped 1.9% more than in previous weeks.
S&P 500 Overview
The US market is looking weak with a rounding pattern, having surprised many this year by staying less than 10% off its top. Gold was a major surprise, being smashed down 9.3% this week. While physical shortages exist, the paper market saw a 6 billion dollar outflow from the GLD ETF.
GOLD Overview
Historically, gold often gets thrashed during crises as people sell profitable assets to cover trouble elsewhere in their portfolios. A deviation between the paper and physical markets is possible, similar to last October. Gold is currently down almost 18% from its top and may seek support in the 150 to 160 consolidation area.
Dollar Index Overview
The dollar index, despite being down 1% this week, maintains a bullish stance as money flees to safety.
Global Indices Overview
South Korea was the only country to clock gains at 4.3% in dollar terms, while Canada and Germany lost 4% each. This global contagion means no single country is truly benefiting, though South Korea, Japan, and Brazil currently lead in relative momentum. India, Germany, and France remain at the bottom.
Global Momentum
Benchmark Indices Overview
In the Indian market, Nifty Next 50 moved down 1.2%, while other indices remained flat.
Sectoral Overview
Sectors like auto, metals, PSU banks, and commodities stayed flat or positive, while real estate, oil and gas, FMCG, and defense took a beating.
Metals and PSUs remain at the top of relative rankings, while tourism and IT are at the bottom.
