Market Rollercoaster: Tariffs, Rates, and Trading Tales - Parkavi Explains to Tamilini
This week was a wild ride for the markets! Let's break down what happened with Parkavi and Tamilini.
1. Global Turbulence: A Game of Chicken
Tamilini: Parkavi, this market is like a wild ride! What's happening?
Parkavi: You're right, Tamilini. This week was a rollercoaster, especially with the US and China. Remember those tariff wars we talked about? Well, they got real. The US slapped a 10% tariff on almost everything, and then a massive 145% on China.
Tamilini: 145%! That's crazy!
Parkavi: It is. The Yuan took a hit, and US markets plunged. But then, the US announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for everyone except China, and markets rebounded.
Parkavi: Look, Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all jumped! Even Europe held off on their retaliatory tariffs.
Tamilini: So, it's like a big game of chicken?
Parkavi: Exactly. And oil prices dropped, then climbed back up. US Treasury yields rose, and the dollar weakened. Plus, US inflation slowed down a bit.
2. Domestic Drama: India's Market Moves
Parkavi: In India, things were a bit calmer, but still volatile. Sensex and Nifty were down slightly. The RBI cut the repo rate, like we expected, and shifted their stance to “accommodative.”
Tamilini: What does that mean?
Parkavi: It means they're ready to support growth. They also lowered their GDP forecast a bit, and inflation is expected to be around 4%. And they are also discussing new rules for Gold loan financing.
Parkavi: Industrial growth slowed a bit. And TCS's earnings were a bit disappointing, but the IT sector didn't react too strongly, since IT stocks were already down.
Tamilini: But some sectors did well, right?
Parkavi: Yes! Steel tubes, jewelry, and value retail saw strong sales growth. And some NBFCs, like Bajaj Finance, also reported good numbers.
3. Looking Ahead: What's Next?
Parkavi: Next week is short, with a couple of holidays. Earnings reports will be the main focus, along with those global tariff developments. We'll also be watching US retail sales, industrial production, and jobless claims. And, of course, the geopolitical situation with Iran, Israel, and Ukraine.
Parkavi: Nifty's immediate support is around 22,550-22,600, and resistance is around 23,000-23,050. If it breaks above 23,050, we could see a rally up to 23,300 or even 23,500.
Tamilini: Okay, I think I'm starting to get it!
Parkavi: Great! Remember, staying informed is key.
