As was widely expected, the @federalreserve today halted the most aggressive policy rate #HikingCycle since 1980, leaving the Fed Funds range unchanged at 5.0% to 5.25%, a level that appears clear to us to be finally having an impact on the #economy.
We think today’s actions represent a “Hawkish skip,” which implies that #policy makers are seeking more #data before potentially hiking rates again in July, or September.
For our part, we think #ChairPowell’s comments at the press conference made it clear that the #FOMC is seeking to balance increasingly restrictive monetary policy with the high degree of uncertainty around the tightening of #CreditConditions

Rising volume in $XLK, $VTV, and good enough $SMH transparently prepared the ground for improving #ES market breadth – but the one factor that made me reconsider the requisites of the medium-term (bearish) outlook, was this.

Last week the latest #SalmanKhan starrer arrived in theatres, and the reviews seem mixed, depending whether one is a #Bhai fan or a critic. Meanwhile, what is the review on the market’s performance last week? Let’s break out the popcorn and watch. (1/8)
#Sensex and #Nifty dropped by over 1.1%. #RBI representatives remained optimistic about India’s #domesticgrowth during the monetary policy committee meeting, despite concerns about uneven growth in the economy & weak demand from outside India. (2/8)
Another big reason for the drop was the weak performance of #Infosys during Q4FY23. The #BSE tech & #IT indices dropped over 5%, as overall IT results were on the weaker side. (3/8)

🎓Bonds 101🎓

We all have been hearing a lot about bonds and yield inversions and them being a marker for recession etc etc… but what is it all really?

Complicated stuff - NOT AT ALL!

Let’s go over some quick basics to understand it all and make you a Pro, shall we?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
What are Bonds and how do yields move:

Bond is nothing but a Loan Certificate, you loaned $100 of your money to someone and got a certificate back stating they will pay you in so and so time (Tenure) with so and so interest (Coupon).

Now when you try and sell this Certificate/… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
What is Bond Yield Inversion?

Bond yield inversion is when yield of short term bond becomes higher than yield of long term bonds.

Why it happens you ask? - It’s simple…

Here is this Week’s Market Wrap

'Prepare With Patience' written by @shyamsek

A thread! (1/n)

#globalmarkets #investors #marketwrap
The last week has caused a significant reset in our investing. We are once again worried about how global factors will come to hurt. Banking, which is the bed rock of every economy looks like the most rattled space in the west. (2/n)

#banking #economy #investments
When smaller banks look weak, they create a systematic scare which needs to be urgently addressed. What we are seeing in the US is a rush to douse the fire that can damage far more than we can imagine. (3/n)

1/8 Witness the intriguing parallel between USDC insolvency concerns & Marriner Eccles's strategy during the Great Depression. Both emphasize trust in financial systems. #stablecoin #financialhistory
USDC issuers, led by Circle, hit pause on withdrawals to gather capital in response to insolvency concerns. They took a page from history to handle the crisis. #cryptocurrency #crisismanagement
Historical context: Marriner Eccles, a prominent banker during the Great Depression, used a clever strategy to control teller cash payouts, restoring confidence in the banking system. #GreatDepression #banking

Tech had always been HDFC Bank’s big weakness. And, @bhavintu led Zeta is set to change that forever! ✅

HDFC Bank’s apps & website have earned a serious reputation for bugs & recurring outages.

Here is all there is to know its Digital 2.0 project meant to solve this 👇
The project was meant to rebuild its consumer-facing tech 🤳🤳

For this, it brought in Zeta with the precondition, that it won't take any new project from another Indian bank for a set timeline.

But, what’s Zeta?
It’s an 8-year-old banking tech startup that has previously worked with likes of RBL Bank, Axis Bank & IDFC FIRST Bank.

However, HDFC Bank’s mandate is Zeta’s most consequential project ever.

'Banking on a Collapse' written by @shyamsek

One week is a long time in global banking. Or, so it seems if one goes by the latest inflation and interest rate commentary of the federal reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. (2/n)

Today’s #JobsReport was very solid, but like is often the case in the movies, it’s very hard for the sequel (today’s report) to match such an unexpected hit (January’s revised 504,000 jobs gained).
Still, a nonfarm #payroll gain of 311,000 jobs is quite good and having 815,000 jobs created so far this year after the #economy has already created 12 million #jobs over the past two years is pretty amazing in its own right.
Further, the 3-month moving average of 351,000 jobs, after a 12-month moving average of 362,000 jobs gained per month is also pretty remarkable, particularly after the market-implied pricing of the terminal #FedFunds rate has move up 500 basis points (bps) in a year.

What happened at Silicon Valley Bank is much more a “banking” story than a “tech” story. @SVB_Financial has been, for 30 years or more, a vital cog in the #startup and #vcfunding scene nationally and internationally. That’s not going to change. 1/6
Investment is still happening in areas like climate tech and AI and the bank will be supporting those new companies.
Its diversification and ability to raise capital to deal with its ALM problems differentiate it from a bank like @silvergatebank. 2/6
But...Silicon Valley Bank's fortunes, and its stock price, have always waxed and waned with tech cycles. This tech cycle was “supersized” in that it lasted for more than a decade and valuations were sky high even by the standards of past booms. 3/6

🏦"Everything You Need to Know About AT1 Bonds"

Bonds are like loans that people can give to companies or governments.

[THREAD🧵]👇

1) What are AT1 Bonds?

AT1 bonds are a type of investment that banks can use to raise money when they need it.

#bonds #Banking #banknifty
2) How AT1 Bonds are different from traditional Bonds?

a) Higher Risk

AT1 bonds are considered to be high-risk investments as they are designed to absorb losses in the event of a bank's financial distress.
Interest Payments in AT1 Bonds

AT1 bonds often have non-cumulative coupons, which means that if the bank misses an interest payment, it is not obligated to make it up in the future.

The latest Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) issue is open till Mar 10.

You can buy 1 gram (or 1 unit) of SGB at Rs 5,561.

But there’s a cheaper alternative.

You can buy previous issues of SGBs on #stock exchanges at a 5-6% discount. (Check image)

Should you buy them?

A 🧵
First, some quick facts.

Each SGB unit equals 1 gram of gold (999 purity).

New issues are sold through #banks.

There’s a Rs 50 discount on online purchases.

After the issue is over, #SGB is listed on stock exchanges.

This gives you the option to exit before maturity.
SGBs mature in 8 years.

But they have a 5-year lock-in, which means you have the option to exit after 5 years.

On redemption, you get the prevailing market price of gold.

Plus, you earn an #interest of 2.5% every year on the issue price.
