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

Asian markets saw a significant drop on Monday as investors reacted to rising global trade tensions. Japanese stocks fell sharply, and the yen strengthened as traders moved their money to safer assets. The decline in Japanese shares was so steep that futures trading was briefly halted. The fall followed a sharp drop in US equity futures, which came after the US stock market suffered its biggest two-day loss in years. Investors became increasingly worried about the economic impact of former President Donald Trump’s proposed reciprocal tariffs, which aim to match foreign tariffs with equal US duties. In India, stock markets also fell, with both major indices closing lower. This continued a trend from Friday, when investor confidence was shaken by fears over the future of global trade. Trump’s aggressive trade policies have raised concerns about possible disruptions in the international trading system, prompting investors worldwide to reduce risk and pull back from equity markets.
