12:55 (IST) 7 Oct 2022 Medium term outlook for equity markets remains healthy

On the domestic front, high frequency indicators point towards improvement in activity and the early trends of festive demand appears strong. As we enter the Q2FY23 earnings season, the focus would be on corporate commentary on demand and margins. Going ahead, there are multiple global macro factors at play and higher interest rates and inflation are likely to be sticky in the developed world. Indian growth outlook appears stable and a relative outlier. However, given the outperformance of the Indian markets and with relative valuations appearing stretched, it is possible that markets see some volatility in the near term. In the medium term, the outlook for equity markets remains healthy, given the strength of domestic macro growth and corporate earnings trajectory.

09:00 (IST) 7 Oct 2022 US jobs data to influence global markets today

An important data which can influence markets globally is the US jobs data expected tonight. Paradoxically, good jobs numbers will be negative for markets since the Fed will have to continue with its hawkish stance if the economy continues to be strong. On the other hand if the jobs data is weak the Fed might infer that the economy is slowing down and, therefore, may go slow on tightening. This would be good for equity markets. So, investors may wait and watch these developments. The fact that FIIs have stopped selling and have turned buyers, though in small quantities, is positive for markets. For FIIs now stocks are available only at high prices. So they will be careful while selling. Financials, autos and capital goods are likely to do well even in a weak market. IT Q2 results may surprise on the upside. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
