Sharp Rebound! Sensex wipes off 900-pt loss

The heightened volatility in the market is reflected in the Nasdaq closing 86 points up after a massive 4.9% intra-day dip and the Dow recovering 1215 points from the lows of yesterday . This excessive volatility is likely to continue for a few more days until clarity emerges out of the crucial Fed meet. The market is discounting a hawkish Fed and if the Fed sounds very hawkish and indicates four rate hikes in 2022 the market will again turn weak. On the contrary, if the Fed sounds less hawkish than the market fears and indicates decline in inflation in the second half of 2022, the oversold markets are likely to stage a comeback and even a sharp rebound on short covering. However, investors have to be cautious and be slightly defensive in their strategy since valuations have not become cheap. But since there is value in high quality financials and IT, long-term investors can start nibbling in these segments.
