Market Alert : Global Sell-Off Extends: Liquidity Fears and Growth Concerns Dominate

Market Close Commentary: 25 January 2022

 

 

By the end of the day’s trade on 25 January 2022, ASX 200 settled in the red zone, driven by increase in the inflation. Australia’s core consumer prices have increased the mid-point of RBA’s target of 2% to 3% since 2014. The benchmark index dropped 2.492% and settled at 6961.6, majorly influenced by the weak performance of most indices on ASX. Indices like technology, mining, resources, emerging companies, and energy sectors were amongst the worst performers for the day, with a significant drop of more than 3% in their respective index values.

What are the Possible reasons of weak market performance globally?

Most stocks markets around the world ended the session in the red zone because of the sharp fall in the global markets after the indication from the US Federal Reserve that it will tighten the liquidity and hike interest rate.

Another reason influencing the markets on 25 January 2022 was the tension between the West and Russia over Ukraine.
