Tariff pause for India offers relief, yet China’s export spillover remains a risk: Jigar Mistry

Image
[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...

Sebi clarifies on 3-in-1 accounts usage for public issue applications

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Markets regulator Sebi on Friday clarified that investors can continue using 3-in-1 accounts to apply online for public issues of debt securities, non-convertible redeemable preference shares, municipal debt securities, and securitised debt instruments. This is in addition to the existing modes of application, Sebi said in a circular. A three-in-one trading account combines a savings account, a demat account, and a trading account into a single integrated solution. In this case, the clients would have their funds in their bank account, earning interest on the cash balances. The clarification came after Sebi received feedback that there is a need to explicitly specify the usage of 3-in-1 type accounts for making an application in the public issue of debt securities, non-convertible redeemable preference shares, municipal debt securities and securitised debt instruments. Last month, Sebi's board approved a proposal whereby, in addition ...

Big tech trade shudders just as stock pickers make a comeback

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Wall Street’s sure-fire, money-minting trade of 2024 – going all-in on Big Tech – was upended this week, sparking stock volatility across the board and thrashing momentum-chasing investors along the way. An earnings flop from Tesla Inc. and fears about Alphabet Inc. spending landed just as popular bets in bonds and commodities misfired, adding to the cross-asset disruptions. Yet for all noise, one trend is unmissable: Unloved fringes of the equity landscape – from small caps to banks – are suddenly on a tear and stock picking is back in vogue. With the so-called Magnificent Seven accounting for a historic share of this year’s equity rally, the blind love affair with capitalization-weighted indexes appears to be on shaky ground. Retail and institutional investors are looking to diversify into new market winners by sinking cash into everything from consumer stocks to health care – regardless of the sorry track record for anyone trying to be...
