Stock Market Live: Sensex jumps 700 points, Nifty above 14,700 as bond market calms; all sectors in the green

 Markets turn positive..Gap-open.  FIIs sold on Friday

Stock Market Live: Indian indices opened over a percent higher on Monday recovering from the previous session’s massive selloff. The gains were on the back of a rally in global markets as bond markets calmed a bit after last week’s spike. Domestically, the markets witnessed broad-based buying across all sectors led by auto, banks, IT and energy.

“”The massive sell-off last Friday which saw the Nifty crash by 568 points indicates the market’s vulnerability to negative triggers at high valuations. The massive FII selling of Rs 8295 crores is indeed a  serious concern even though DIIs have turned buyers. Also, FIIs unwinding their longs and opening fresh shorts is a negative signal. The positive factor is the US 10-year yield settling at 1.41%, falling from a high of 1.61%. Stability in bond yields will calm markets. It is also important to appreciate the fact that the rise in yields also indicates a revival of economic growth. In this excessively volatile market, investors may wait for consolidation. Dips may be used to buy quality stocks in segments like financials & IT. Meanwhile, India is technically out of recession with the Q3 GDP data turning positive with 0.4% growth.”

US securities watchdog suspends trading in 15 stocks over hyped social media activity

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that it suspended trading in the securities of 15 companies on Friday because of “questionable trading and social media activity”. The latest step is the third and largest in a series of temporary trading halts in response to social media activity amid volatile trading in “meme stocks”. One of the firms, Blue Sphere Corp — a penny stock — was recently highlighted in a report after its spike in value following a barrage of online posts. Few days ago, SEC suspended trading in SpectraScience, whose shares had surged 633 per cent in 2021
