[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Global stock markets surged on Monday after the U.S. and China agreed to slash steep tariffs for at least 90 days, tapping the brakes on a trade war between the world's two biggest economies that had fed fears of a global recession. But the temporary pause did little to address the underlying schisms that led to the dispute, including the U.S. trade deficit with China and U.S. President Donald Trump's demand for more action from Beijing to combat the U.S. fentanyl crisis. While investors cheered the move, businesses were seeking more clarity. Under the temporary truce, the U.S. will cut extra tariffs it imposed on Chinese imports last month from 145% to 30% for the next three months, the two sides said, while Chinese duties on U.S. imports will fall to 10% from 125%. In addition to the tariff reductions, China agreed to lift export countermeasures issued after April 2, including restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets u...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Wall Street rallied sharply and Treasury yields fell on Wednesday as investors bet that the Federal Reserve will look through rising price pressures and continue cutting interest rates this year, after new projections showed that officials now expect lower growth and higher inflation. While the median projection of two more rate cuts this year is still policymakers' base case, the underlying 'dot plot' forecasts shifted up closer towards only one. But not quite. Investors ignored that, however. They also ignored the growing "stagflation" risks and officials' admission that uncertainty is elevated. Instead, they seized on Chair Jerome Powell's belief that tariff-driven inflation will be "transitory" and largely confined to this year. I will dig deeper into the confusing signals sent by various measures of inflation expectations below. But first, here are the scores on the doors from Wednesday's...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] After the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s, Lars Staack decided to play it safe and invest his retirement savings in S&P 500 index funds, which are diversified and carry lower risk than owning individual stocks. It was a strategy that brought him peace of mind for more than two decades -- until President Donald Trump was elected in November. As he reviewed Trump's comments in support of sweeping tariffs, Staack, 62, who retired two years ago, became increasingly uneasy about the savings he planned to use for the rest of his retirement. Those nerves about how Trump's economic policies might affect the stock market led him to start selling his index funds in January, moving them into bond and Treasury funds, which are seen as safe havens in times of volatility. About one-third of his savings are still in stocks. The daily swings last week, which included the market's worst single day in months, have made him conside...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Wall Street's failure to bounce back from its recent beating on news of a potential ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia shows just how worried investors are about the growth and market impact from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff wars. Ukraine said on Tuesday it is willing to accept a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, a deal that Washington will now put to Moscow. Investors initially cheered the news, and at one point the Nasdaq was up more than 1%. But Trump's announcement that he will double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products from Canada to 50% weighed heavily, and traders ended the day with a sea of red across their screens.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis In October, the bears made no distinction between large-, mid- or small-cap stocks – mauling them equally. The market behavior during the month underlined the importance of adhering to the basic principles of equity investing. First, remember that when you buy a stock, you own part of a business – and how the business is doing is more important than any movement of the Nifty. Second, if you are a long-term investor, a month of selling should not bother you. It has happened in the past, and will happen in the future as well. So, keep your focus on the business underlying the stock. Check for changes in the environment, and whether they are positive or negative for the business. Last, but not the least, do your homework before investing – not after investing. The mayhem in the market all through the month of October may appear to be unexpected. But hindsight tells us that there were – and still are – many signs indicating a phase o...
