Market stress indicators begin to flash in wake of SVB collapse

Financial market stress indicators began to flash on Monday to the collapse of lender SVB, which prompted a rethink among investors on the outlook for U.S. rates and triggered the biggest rush into bonds since at least 2008.

The startup-focused bank became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis last week, sending shockwaves across global markets.

U.S. regulators stepped in over the weekend to guarantee the deposits of SVB, but this did little to reassure investors that there will be no more fallout.

Investors reeled in their expectations for global central bank rate hikes, and bank stocks tumbled once again.

Besides forming lower highs and lower lows on the hourly charts, Nifty today formed a tall bearish candle on the daily charts as it revisited mid-October levels.

Gold bounces 1% as investors seek cover from US banking rout

Gold prices jumped more than 1% and made a run towards the key $1,900 level on Monday as fears of a fallout from the largest U.S. bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis drove investors to the safe-haven asset.

As Nifty struggles to stop the slide that now aims atleast 17255-17050, a pull back above 17420 could signal that Nifty is in the mood to shrug off bearish vibes. And, once 17520 is cleared, 17800-18200 will be back in the radar. Alternatively, inability to float above 17420-520 band will attract rejection trades, which would have the potential for an expansive plunge towards 16500-200. While this is a possibility, we will go in this week not expecting an outright collapse.

Rupee rises 26 paise to 81.80 against US dollar in early trade.

The SVB issue is unlikely to rattle markets for long. The quick joint statement by the US Treasury, the Fed and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that all the depositors money will be safe is enough to calm the markets. The ‘Lehman’ comparison is totally inappropriate. However, investors have to be careful since there can be a sentimental impact on banking stocks. Since this crisis has near zero impact on Indian banking, investors with a higher risk appetite can use the weakness in the market to buy high quality bank stocks. A possible positive impact of the SVB crisis is that it may nudge the Fed to go less hawkish since the aggressive rate hike by the Fed lies at the root of the SVB crisis. If the US CPI inflation data tomorrow indicates a declining trend in inflation, the Fed is unlikely to raise rates by 50 bp in the March 22 meeting. That will be a positive from the market perspective.
