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

Asian markets and U.S. stock futures rose as China and the U.S. announced good progress in trade talks. Asian shares opened higher, and Japanese stocks continued their long winning streak. U.S. futures for major indexes also moved up, showing investor optimism about a potential trade deal. In India, markets fell after three weeks of gains, mainly due to rising tensions with Pakistan. The situation led to increased volatility, and foreign investors began selling Indian stocks after weeks of buying. Meanwhile, U.S. markets ended the week with a cautious mood. Investors avoided risky moves, waiting to see how trade talks between China and the U.S. would unfold. Although the talks showed early promise, many believe it will take several rounds to reach a full agreement. After a strong recent rally, U.S. market activity has slowed, with major indexes showing little change by the end of the week.
