We have outperformed the global markets: Amit Gupta

"I think this fatigue is likely to be there. Obviously, when we have spent one and a half years now, within a band, but we have outperformed the global markets, slowly the markets are coming out of the range now," says Amit Gupta, Vice President & Fund Manager at ICICI Securities. "Some kind of consolidation slow move, maybe there but eventually the trajectory looks upward, because one of the weakest links in the markets was Europe. And we saw that Europe was continuously falling from 1.25 against dollar, it declined to 0.97 against the dollar. Now, we have seen that some sort of interest rate hike of 75 basis points (bps) has been seen by ECB and before the winter season, we saw that the capacities were filled up to almost 98 percent in Germany and EU also. The energy prices which was at 75 euros, declined to 30 euros and I think this is where Euro has stopped falling and dollar has stopped rising."

Smaller rate hikes by Fed are positive for risk asses: Ravindra Rao
"The US dollar fell after the release of FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday. As expected, it showed majority of the policymakers were with the view of slower rate hikes as recent Fed’s aggressive stance is impacting the economic growth," says Ravindra Rao, VP-Head Commodity Research, Kotak Securities. "Although the minutes indicated the end of jumbo rate hikes, the policy makers were uncertain on when will be the end point of the rate hikes. Smaller rate hikes by Fed are positive for risk asses as well as for safe haven assets like gold as dollar weakness supports."
