In the early hours of trading, domestic markets fought back the lows caused by a hawkish US Fed and rising oil prices. However, the rise in global markets buoyed sentiments of investors here.
Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Financial Services, said, “The domestic market started with a negative bias taking cues from rising crude prices and hawkish signals from Fed on aggressive policy tightening. However, the trend reversed as European markets opened on a positive note buoyed by hope that Ukraine may consider working towards a truce.”
Analysts said a hawkish US Fed and the 10-year yield in the US rising to 2.29 per cent are headwinds for global markets.
