Akhil Mittal, Senior Fund Manager- Fixed Income, Tata Asset Management, says longer term, these elevated interest rates are worth buying today because globally we will not see these interest rates two, three or five years down the line. So it makes sense to buy interest rates right now, especially if you talk about the US. From 2008 till 2020, we saw those zero interest rates and tons of tons of money printed post the Global Financial Crisis. Investing in the US bonds for the purpose of diversification can sound like a very interesting idea. Can you explain the entire trajectory of the US bonds looking at the interest rate scenario. Do you think it is a good time to lock your money in these kinds of investment avenues? Broadly on the interest rate trajectory side, worldwide, from 2022 onwards, central banks have been pushing rates higher.

Rohit Srivastava, Founder & Market Strategist, Indiacharts.com, says he would take a slightly contrary stance and move to the metal side. It is not a sector that everybody likes too much but the metal index has kept coming under pressure because of what has been happening in the dollar and rates but the Indian metal stocks have done much better during this phase despite low commodity prices and that is a positive sign. If we are at the fag end of the rally in the dollar, then it is time for commodity prices to pick up again and the metals pack to start outperforming significantly. I would move into the metal sector.” What is your own assessment? Do you think the dips will be bought into or do you see the slide continuing? It is a slightly tricky situation. We are going to be watching these key levels that I should probably put out. On Bank Nifty, we are going to watch around 43,780 and on the Nifty, around 19,640. If these levels break, then there is a chance that we continue to slip into the red and see the slide continue. But if these levels hold, then the continuation should be on the upside and well, Bank Nifty has actually not moved up much, so in that sense Bank Nifty is coming back to this particular zone almost the third or fourth time since August.

job vacancies also declined, official figures showed on Tuesday, in a sign that the labour market is losing momentum. British average earnings, excluding bonuses, were 7.8% higher than a year earlier during the three months to August, down from an upwardly revised 7.9% in the three months to July, the first such fall since January. Average earnings are being monitored by the Bank of England as it considers whether to resume raising interest rates to counter the risks from still-high inflation. The latest reading from Britain's Office for National Statistics was in line with expectations from economists polled by Reuters, but sterling fell slightly against the U.S. dollar after the data. «While wage growth is still much too strong for the Bank of England's liking, there's nothing in the latest data that's likely to push the committee into a rate hike at the November meeting,» ING economist James Smith said. Private-sector regular pay — the component looked at most closely by the BoE — saw annual growth slow to 8.0% in the three months to August, from 8.1%.

However, with consumer price inflation of 6.7% in August, the real-terms increase in pay was far smaller. Regular pay, adjusted for CPI inflation, grew by an annual 0.7% in the three months to August.
