V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services:
The surge in the benchmark US 10-year yield to 1.546 percent spooked equity markets in the US with cuts of above 2 percent in S&P 500 and Nasdaq. The rise in US bond yields triggering correction in equity markets has been a known threat for some time now. But what triggered this sudden spike in bond yield was the Fed chief Powell’s statement that inflation may persist for a much longer time. The rise in the dollar index to 93.7 levels indicate profit booking in stocks and safe-haven buying into the dollar.
It is too early to conclude that this is a trend reversal for markets. Perhaps the ‘ buy on dips’ strategy may again work out. But at the present elevated valuations, the risk is high. Investors may watch for consolidation in markets
