POST-MARKET SUMMARY 13 October 2023

On October 13, the market experienced downward pressure as technology giants continued to decline due to concerns about future demand, while a decline in banking stocks further dampened market sentiment. The day began with a gap-down opening influenced by weak global indicators, partly due to slightly higher-than-expected US inflation. However, there was a brief recovery, which didn't last long as bearish sentiment returned.
