The sell-off in the US market yesterday was the market’s response to 10-year yield touching 1.6%
In simple terms, the stock market gets nervous when bond yield increases because bonds are always safer than stock. When the bond yield increases, the stock market becomes less attractive to investors.
Investors are developing the sentiment that the US Fed has lost control of the bond market and yield will continue to increase. Further volatile ups and downs are expected until the people on wall street get comfortable with the bond yield levels.
On Friday, all major indexes around the world ended in red due to the above-intentioned sentiment.
The impact of the US bond yields also affected Asian markets.
- China’s Shanghai SE Composite Index ended the day 2.12% lower than the previous day’s close.
- Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was trading 3.43% lower.
- Japan’s Nikkei 225 ended the day’s trade 3.99% lower.
- Taiwan’s TSEC 50 Index closed after falling by 3.03%.
Why Indian Stock Market crashed
Inflation rates in India were much affected by the pandemic and the RBI is lobbying hard to maintain inflation targets of 4 percent with a 2 percent tolerance level on either side.
Indian investors felt that RBI might follow the American example and increase repo rates causing bond yields to rise. This sentiment created a selling pressure that was not controlled and that further led to a domino effect of panic selling.
The concept is simple if prices go lower, panicked traders will push them even lower.
FII / FPI s also pulled a massive amount of INR 8295.17 Cr and this also contributed to Friday’s Crash.
US Fed’s declaration to inject more liquidity and keep rates low through 2023 can influence the market to be buoyant this year.
What to expect :
The budget week also encountered similar instability. These are the two incidents that indicate a higher sale pressure if taken into account. Increasing bond yields continue to cause distress and the month of March has been unpleasant for the stock market.
Support and Resistance :
Support is a pricing range where a fall in demand or purchasing activity should be expected to stop. As the value of assets or securities falls, the demand for shares increases, thus establishing a line of support.
Resistance is a point or a pricing range that acts as a barrier because at that point there is pressure on the price of the asset. This pressure is because many sellers are trying to drive the price down from that level. Resistance breaks when new information, news, or sentiment comes to light and selling pressure is overwhelmed by emerging buyers.
When a supportive or resistant region or “zone” has been created, those prices can serve as possible entry and escapes because the price hits a supporting point or resistance point and does one of the two things — either get back up like a bounce or break the price level and go in its direction — until it hits the next level of support or resistance.
