Stock Market Closing Highlights: Fundamental outlook

Markets lost momentum in the second half and fell sharply thereafter as weak Asian and European cues coupled with nervousness over falling rupee and renewed foreign fund outflows prompted investors to reduce equity expoosure.

We suspect rising US bond yields are likely to be the biggest negative catalyst going forward, with the US 10-year US bonds yields spiking to 4.61 per cent, the highest in seven months.
