Investors' attention is fixed on whether the Sino-U.S. trade tensions will ease after China last week said it was evaluating an offer from Washington to hold talks over tariffs. However, the lack of concrete details on any deals between the U.S. and its partners has kept investors on edge, especially as Trump announced a new slate of tariffs. Trump, on Sunday, announced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the U.S. and a day later said he intends to announce pharmaceutical tariffs over the next two weeks. Live Events In that light, the U.S. Fed's policy announcement on Wednesday garners increas...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] As the United States imposes steep tariffs on China while pausing similar actions against other countries, including India, analysts say the immediate pressure may shift toward Chinese exports — but the ripple effects could reach India too. In an interaction with ETNow, Jigar Mistry of Buoyant Capital, outlined a more complex picture of the ongoing trade reshuffle. While India appears relatively insulated for now, he warned of potential spillovers from China’s trade displacement. "If China is not allowed to export into the US, then it will try and flood every other market that it is allowed to export to," Mistry said, pointing to historical precedent. He added, "We have seen this story play out with steel in the year 2015 to 2018 onwards, where they started supplying to the Philippines, Thailand, and the Asia-Pac region... even within India, China could start dumping a lot of material." While some market participants v...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] After a brief return of optimism in March, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) reversed course and turned net sellers in early April, rattled by a sudden escalation in global trade tensions. The trigger came on April 2, when U.S. President Donald Trump announced steep reciprocal tariffs, prompting a sharp correction in global equity markets and reigniting fears of inflation and stagflation in the United States. This shift in sentiment led to massive selling across key indices, with spillover effects reaching emerging markets like India. The impact was swiftly reflected in FPI flows, which saw net outflows of over Rs 10,000 crore from Indian markets by April 5. While this marks a sharp contrast from the buying trend seen just weeks earlier, analysts remain divided on the outlook. While global uncertainty has put FPIs in a wait-and-watch mode, India’s robust macroeconomic fundamentals and supportive policy environment continue to offer l...

A retaliation might put the global economy in a trade war. The efforts to reach a bilateral agreement between India-USA provides hope and scope to limit the impact of these reciprocal tariffs levied on India. ET...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Japan's Nikkei share average declined for a third straight session on Monday as uncertainty ahead of a looming deadline for implementing additional U.S. tariffs sapped investor appetite for riskier assets. The Nikkei closed down 0.2% at 37,608.49, while the broader Topix shed 0.5% to sit at 2,790.88 after hitting an eight-month peak on Friday.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] World stocks fell to their lowest levels in six weeks on Friday, and the dollar hovered near multi-week highs, as the prospect of higher U.S. tariffs sent jitters through markets and revived concerns about a global trade war. Technology shares took an additional hit following a sharp sell-off in AI darling Nvidia and other so-called "Magnificent Seven" Wall Street mega-cap stocks, as investors judged the chipmaker's earnings report harshly a day after its release. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that 25% duties on imports from Canada and Mexico will come into effect on March 4 - not April 2 as he had suggested a day earlier - and said goods from China will be subject to an additional 10% duty. This week he also floated 25% tariffs on shipments from the European Union. "A market that had reduced its sensitivity to recent tariff headlines has had to reconsider that reaction function," said Chris Weston,...
