🌍 India / Asia Angle

A US equity market correction triggered by stretched S&P 500 valuations would likely spark risk-off sentiment across Asian markets, pressuring indices like India's Nifty 50, Japan's Nikkei, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng while strengthening safe-haven flows into bonds and gold.

🌊 Ripple Effects

▸US equities (S&P 500) — downside risk as Goldman 'froth' warning may prompt institutional de-risking
▸Gold — likely upside as investors seek safe havens if a correction materialises
▸Emerging market equities (India, SE Asia) — vulnerable to outflows if US risk appetite deteriorates
