Bears took control of the equity markets across the globe on the last day of trade for the week. After sparking hope and starting trade positively Wall Street saw volatile moves pushing the 30 stock Dow Jones end at the day low shedding 460 points.&nbsp;
All three major averages posted weekly losses on Wall Street, the second weekly downtick for the same. The jitters were sparked again as personal expenditure reading was higher&nbsp;than anticipated ,raising inflationary concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 But equities were not the only this suffering. Crypto currency also had a tough week as Bitcoin slid&nbsp;further 5% in Friday&rsquo;s trade extending its losses to 20% for the week. Bitcoin has recorded&nbsp;it&rsquo;s&nbsp;worst weekly decline in&nbsp;atleast&nbsp;a year.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Even&nbsp;commodities&nbsp;that have been the shining spot for traders saw profit booking.&nbsp;A gauge tracking&nbsp;23 commodities&nbsp;dropped by the most since April 2020 as&nbsp;the dollar strengthened making the commodity play less attractive&nbsp; &nbsp;

It was a sea of red for the markets led by global cues and surging bond yields.&nbsp;Sensex and Nifty ended 4%&nbsp;Friday as the weakness&nbsp;wiped out the weekly gains.&nbsp;Sensex lost the 50,000 mark at close while Nifty managed to hold onto the 14500 mark.&nbsp;All 50 stocks in the Nifty ended in the red and financials were the main drag.&nbsp;
Rising bond yields were the culprit that sent jitters across the globe.&nbsp;Bond yields in the US have now surged back to the pre-pandemic levels and even though it indicates higher growth it signals possible inflation and cost of money rising. The Indian bond markets are also signaling the same adding to the nervousness.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It was not just the equity markets rupee hit Rs 73.5/$ in intraday trade, the lowest level in over two months. For the week the currency is lower by 1%, which would mark its biggest weekly fall in 10 months.&nbsp;

Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant déjà vu of the 2013 ‘taper tantrum’ where markets sold off aggressively as the money market

Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant&nbsp;d&eacute;j&agrave; vu of the 2013 &lsquo;taper tantrum&rsquo; where markets sold off aggressively as the money markets signaled the end of cheap money.&nbsp;Even though the surge is not as dramatic as 8 years ago it is enough to send equities into a tizzy.&nbsp;&nbsp; So why&nbsp;do stock markets get rattled by rising bond yields.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Firstly,&nbsp;Rise in yields indicate the money markets betting on the possibility of higher rates by the central bank&nbsp;as inflation bets rise. In the US its mostly due to improving economic data and traders worried the fed will shift low rates stance earlier than anticipated.&nbsp;Prices in India have been subdued so far but with sharp rises in fuel prices the RBI has also sounded off the concern on inflationary pressure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Secondly,&nbsp;Investors also reassess portfolio allocations are yields&nbsp;rise,&nbsp;betting more on cheaper safer bond markets as returns become more attractive.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Finally, the cost&nbsp;of capital&nbsp;also rises significantly with rising yields and the debt pressure on the corporate sector enlarges in turn adding pressure on to the stock.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dalal Street is feeling the global jitters of rising yields, indicating cheap money bets are lowering&nbsp;and inflationary bets rise. Wall Street saw the biggest fall since October and the&nbsp;nervousness has spread to Dalal Street as well with the Sensex and Nifty both trading much lower on the final day of trade of the week.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Bond yields in the US have now surged back to the pre-pandemic levels and even though it indicates higher growth it signals possible inflation and cost of money rising. The Indian bond markets are also&nbsp;signaling&nbsp;the&nbsp;same.&nbsp;The rupee continues to trade significantly lower to the greenback&nbsp;while brokerages&nbsp;are raising their&nbsp;year-end&nbsp;target for the&nbsp;10-year&nbsp;yield as well.&nbsp;
Financial and technology continuing to be the sore point on Dalal Street, mirroring global&nbsp;weakness in&nbsp;sectors.

Global markets under pressure as Wall Street saw the worst sell-off since October. The 500 stock gauge S&amp;P saw the biggest drop in a month sliding&nbsp;2.5%.&nbsp; The tech tumble exaggerated it's losses with the Nasdaq&nbsp;Composite&nbsp;slid 3.5%, this marks it's biggest sell-off since Oct. 28. Marquee names like&nbsp;Alphabet, Facebook, and Apple all fell more than 3%, while Tesla sunk another 8%.
Traders were spooked as the 10 year yield sky rocketed to the highest level since Feb 2020 in what many traders called a flash spike.&nbsp; Higher rates on the yield signal bad news for corporates&nbsp;especially tech companies that bank of them for lower borrowing rates.&nbsp;

SEBI responding to the trading halt has questioned by India&rsquo;s largest bourse NSE on why&nbsp;trading did not migrate to the disaster recovery site.&nbsp;&nbsp;The DR site is a&nbsp;backup&nbsp;site which is located in another city and is a replica of the main production site in Mumbai&nbsp;
In&nbsp;fact, the National Stock Exchange had informed brokers in October that for two complete trading&nbsp;days,&nbsp;September 28 &amp; 29 the bourse had operated entirely out of the disaster recovery site, notably without any issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ironically the next round of testing is due end of March.
SEBI has sought a complete report including the details of internal assessments which led to the 4-hour trading halt&nbsp;on Wednesday.&nbsp;SEBI however reassured investors that&nbsp;the market regulator&nbsp;would take&nbsp;all necessary measures to ensure rectification of the underlying causes&nbsp;including addressing institutional deficiencies.&nbsp;

After a long wait, the insurance regulator IRDAI has given its final nod to Axis Bank and subsidiaries, picking up a 12% stake in Max Life Insurance. This will now finally let Axis be a joint venture partner in the company, something that the entities had announced in April 2020.
Now that all the pins have fallen in place for the deal, it also allows Axis entities to raise their stake further by 7% which they intend to do in a couple of years.
Max Life is the fourth-largest private life insurer in India, while Axis is India&rsquo;s third-largest private bank.

India&rsquo;s largest exchange has some explaining to do to the market regulator and the finance ministry. Reports indicate SEBI and Fin Min have sought a detailed report from NSE on the technical glitch that halted trade for over 4 hours.&nbsp;
National Stock Exchange is expected to submit it&rsquo;s report before Friday but this may just be the preliminary submission. This is not a first for the&nbsp;NSE, the exchange halted trade for 3 hours in 2017 again due to a technical glitch.&nbsp;
 SEBI had slapped a Rs 50 lakh fine on NSE in 2019 when NSE NOW, a trading terminal for traders, was not working properly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and in some parts of Maharashtra.Infact&nbsp;SEBI in it&rsquo;s annual report last year had indicated the need of a plan to compensate investors for losses due to technical glitches.&nbsp;

“Government has no business to be in business” that was the clear and concise message from PM Modi as the govt batted aggressively for privatisation.

&ldquo;Government has no business to be in business&rdquo; that was the clear&nbsp; and concise message from PM Modi as the govt batted aggressively for privatisation. Putting the focus back onto development PM Modi reiterated that being in businesses distracts the govt from its main goals.
With over 100 assets identified in its asset monetisation pipeline the Prime Minister reminded India Inc that the Rs 2.5 lakh crore that they are hoping to raise via divestment will be dedicated to development goals. PM Modi added that the government will be&nbsp;having&nbsp;public sector companies only in key strategic sectors and that too only minimum companies. &nbsp;
 There were about 249 PSUs in 2018-19. Of these, 70 were loss-making, with combined losses to the tune of Rs 31,000 cr.&nbsp;

Not even an hour into trade at 10:06 am there was confusion across dealing rooms as the headline Index Nifty seemed to have been stuck at a single value and was not updating. It was not long before traders realised there was a systemic problem as the none of the Indices listed across the NSE were updating.
 At 11:40 for the second time in the last 5 years the National Stock Exchange halted trade across segment cash and F&amp;O segment citing a technical glitch.&nbsp;
 What followed was just whispers of communication confusion with no official word from the bourse traders speculated what would happen to open positions just a day ahead of expiry.&nbsp;
 3 hours into the trading halt, India&rsquo;s largest brokerage Zerodha finally decided to layout a gameplan for its users as NSE had still not provided any clarity. The discount broker firm tweeted Plan of action: If NSE isn't back up by 2.45 pm, we will block all new MIS &amp; CO orders for the day and attempt to square off all equity MIS &amp; CO positions on BSE. Unfortunately, we will not be able to do anything with intraday F&amp;O positions if NSE isn't back up
 It was just minutes before close that NSE announced that trading hours would be extended by both exchanges from 3:45 upto 5 pm. The message was short and for many almost too late . Zerodha sent out a message to their clients - if NSE had informed brokers of a potential reopening or extension of trading hours, at least by 3 PM, we, along with many other brokers would not have had to take risk mitigation measures and square off positions on BSE. Unfortunately, because there were no updates given to brokers, we had no other choice. The last minute notification of the trading extension at 3:17 PM came a little too late.&nbsp;

As markets continue to hover near a record high, stellar flows have kept the rupee firmly in the lead amongst emerging market currencies. Foreign investors have pumped in over $4 billion in the past month making the rupee rose to a near one-year high against the dollar. This poses a problem for the central bank as it continues its intervention to keep the rupee on a competitive footing. All eyes will remain on Friday this week as the govt releases growth data for the previous quarter which is likely to show that India has come out of the recession with a mild expansion of 0.5%.
