US dollar hits 5-year high vs yen

The U.S. dollar rose to a five-year high versus the yen on Tuesday, boosted by expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate hikes, as investors bet that the fast-spreading Omicron coronavirus variant would have limited economic impact.

In the second trading day of 2022, global markets extended the upbeat moves seen on Monday.

The dollar’s gains were helped by a rise in U.S. treasury yields, as investors bet on the Fed raising rates, with the U.S. 2-year and 5-year notes soaring to their highest since March 2020.

CV upcycle continues; PVs to see improvement ahead: Emkay Global Financial Services

December 2021 saw a continued uptrend in domestic CV volumes, but other segments were weak, mainly due to supply issues, muted sentiment, and a high base from last year, said Emkay Global Financial Services. 

Improving chip supplies is expected to lead to a sequential improvement in volumes for PVs ahead. 

In comparison, 2-wheelers demand may be impacted in the near term due to the increase in Covid cases, which may adversely affect the sentiment of low-income category customers and delay a complete re-opening of educational institutions/offices, it added.

Way2Wealth Research on Emami: Emami is a market leader in several categories and with low penetration of key categories, there is room for double-digit growth across the power brands. Emami is focused on strengthening its direct reach (project Khoj) and reducing its dependence on the wholesale channel.
