* Morning Update 14th November 2022*
*Equity Market Update*
*Expect a flat to positive start for our market today*
Benchmark indices on Friday registered 1.8% gains buoyed by strong global cues after weaker than expected US inflation reading. The rally was supported by strong rebound in IT and follow-up rally in Metal and Banking stocks. The broader markets though continued to underperform as Mid/Smallcap indices ended in red during the week. Both FIIs and DIIs were net buyers in the cash market on Friday with figures of Rs 3958.2 cr and Rs 615.5 cr respectively. The US market on Friday ended higher as Technology and Bluechip indices were up between 1% to 1.9% respectively. The Asian cues are currently trading mixed and hence we expect a flat to positive start for our market today.
