View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value

Stocks in the Asia-Pacific region opened lower as investors remained cautious about tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Despite this, Japan and Australia recorded gains, while China and Hong Kong were expected to start on a weaker note. Investors are closely monitoring discussions among Chinese officials regarding economic policies, with hopes for additional stimulus measures. The Chinese yuan and stock market have shown strong performance this year. Meanwhile, Wall Street ended a volatile session on a negative note, with major indices declining. In India, markets closed slightly lower, primarily due to declines in media and oil & gas stocks. However, mid-sized companies saw gains, while smaller ones declined. Real estate and metal sectors performed well, but energy and media stocks dragged the indices down. Overall, investors remain cautious, awaiting further economic signals and policy decisions that could influence future market movements in a complex global financial environment.
