View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value
Asian stock markets moved slightly higher, supported by a positive trend in the U.S. equity markets. Investors remained hopeful that companies will manage to stay strong despite weaker economic growth and concerns about tariffs. Markets in Japan and Australia opened on a positive note, while Hong Kong futures also pointed to small gains. However, Chinese mainland stocks saw a minor decline, while South Korea’s market rose slightly. In the U.S., the stock market extended its rally for the sixth session. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both moved higher, as investors grew more confident in the strength of American companies. Hopes increased after signs that the U.S. government might ease its stance on car import tariffs, offering relief amid ongoing trade tensions. Indian stock markets also ended in positive territory for the second day in a row. Overall, the global market sentiment was upbeat, with cautious optimism that businesses can handle the challenges from slower growth and trade-related issues.
