Market LIVE Updates | Metal stocks melt in trade today. Check out the top losers
COMEX Gold prices rose more than 2% on Thursday, holding near the highest since the Russia Ukraine war, amid weakness in the greenback and treasury yields after a slightly dovish FOMC coupled with safe haven bids stemming from financial market uncertainties. Prices were also supported by Janet Yellen’s comments, after she told the Senate that regulators aren’t looking to provide “blanket” deposit insurance to stabilize the US banking system, putting the focus back on the weak regional banks. Despite Powell reiterating for holding rates throughout the year, markets are expecting a cut of more than 75 bps in 2023, taking into account the lags of monetary policy and the fact that Fed will have no choice but to cut rates, in the event of a hard landing. Gold prices might continue to trade with an upside bias, amid the ongoing banking sector uncertainty and rising odds of similar events in futures.

Shreeji Translogistics adds BHEL as new client in its full truck load (ftl) segment
The steady decline in bond yields, across tenors, in the US reflect the market perception that interest rates are near peaks. The Fed is likely to pause, after perhaps one more 25 bp rate hike, and if the disinflation trend continues on expected lines, the FOMC may cut rates by end 2023 or early 2024. A lot will depend on the extent of slowdown in the US economy. If a hard landing of the US economy is avoided, equity markets will bounce back. The ongoing stress in the US banking system is a short-term challenge, but a long-term opportunity for equity investors. Market corrections triggered by negative news from the US can be used by long-term investors to buy high quality stocks, which will bounce back once interest rates start trending down.
