Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. Siddharth Khemka, Head of Retail Research, Head of Retail Research, Siddhartha Khemka, said, “The volatility in the local stock market came amid a weak global trend coupled with aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and concerns over the economic slowdown in China. In addition, inflation in the euro area rose to a record year-on-year basis of 9.1 percent in August and a 24-month high in Japan.

volatility in the domestic stock market

The domestic stock markets have remained volatile for the past few days. However, capital inflows from foreign institutional investors coupled with strong macroeconomic data supported the downside. According to official data released on Wednesday, the country’s economic growth rate was 13.5 percent in the April-June quarter of the current financial year due to the better performance of agriculture and services sector.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services said, “The domestic equity market was influenced by the global market. A sharp increase in the policy rate, high rate of inflation and a slowdown in the economy have put pressure on the stock markets of the world. Although India’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth rate has been lower than the Reserve Bank’s estimate of 16.2 per cent in the first quarter, the manufacturing sector has seen strong activity so far in the second quarter. This indicates a strong revival in the domestic market. Besides, foreign capital inflows from FIIs will support the strength of the domestic market,” he added.

Other markets in Asia also softened

In other Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and China’s Shanghai Composite ended in losses. Major markets in Europe were in a downtrend in early trade. US markets remained in losses on Wednesday. Meanwhile, international oil benchmark Brent crude fell by two per cent to $93.73 a barrel.
