View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value
Asian stocks saw a rise as traders navigated the ongoing US-China trade tensions and anticipated earnings from major US tech companies. Chinese markets were preparing to reopen the following day. On Wall Street, major indices finished higher, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq all posting gains, but futures showed signs of weakness for the next session. S&P 500 futures dropped, and both Dow Jones and NASDAQ futures saw slight declines. In India, the Nifty 50 and Sensex had their best performance since early January, driven by a positive market reaction to US President Donald Trump delaying tariff impositions on Canada and Mexico. This decision provided temporary relief to investors. The rise in both indices was mainly supported by strong gains from companies like HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries. Overall, market participants found some relief, though there were concerns for the future, reflected in the futures data.
