17 Mar 2025
Global markets monitored slew of data releases. In the US, University of Michigan sentiment index softened in Mar’25 and both 1-year and 5-year inflation expectations firmed up. In UK, monthly GDP data showed contraction (-0.1%) in Jan’25 and industrial production saw loss of momentum (-0.9%, MoM). In Germany, CPI remained stable at 2.3% in Feb’25. However, markets are waiting details on debt funded defence and infrastructure expenditure. In other macro releases, has been China’s retail sales (YTD YoY, at 4%) and industrial production data (YTD YoY, 5.9%) which remained upbeat on account of frontloading of orders, monitoring the tariff turmoil. On domestic front, India’s forex reserves (US$ 654bn) registered strong weekly gain buoyed by RBI’s swap operations.
Global equity indices majorly ended higher despite threats of a global tariff war. US stocks advanced the most, led by a rally in tech stocks. Hopes of more policy support drove consumption linked stocks in China and Hong Kong higher. Sensex was closed. However, it is trading higher today, while Asian stocks are trading mixed.

US retail sales data rose at a less than expected pace in Feb’25 (0.2%, MoM against est.: 0.6%). Even last month’s figure was revised lower. In other releases, OECD has highlighted trade fragmentation as growing risk to overall growth outlook. Hence global growth is estimated to edge down to 3.1% in CY25 from 3.2% in CY24. Growth in US and China is projected to slow down to 2.2% (2.8% in CY24) and 4.8% (5% in CY24), respectively. For India, GDP growth is expected to moderate to 6.4%, amidst volatile global space. Amongst asset classes, safe-haven demand led to record high level in gold prices (US$ 3000/troy ounce). On domestic front, some momentum in WPI was noted led by inflation in manufactured products. Trade deficit on the other hand narrowed down led by softening of gold and oil imports.
Global stocks ended higher. Investors continue to monitor developments surrounding global tariff war, while adopting a “buy the dip” strategy. Focus also remains on US macro data and policy decisions of Fed, BoJ and BoE. In the US, tech stocks remained in demand, while in the UK, energy and mining share rose the most. Sensex ended higher driven by metal and auto stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

Central banks are adopting a cautious and measured approach amidst ongoing tariff turmoil, seen globally. To start with BoJ, stood pat on rates raising flags on increasing protectionism. US Fed and BoE policy is also scheduled this week, where a similar approach is expected. Among major macro releases are housing starts and industrial production data in the US, which remained upbeat. Even US Treasury Secretary also reconfirmed that the economy is in good shape. US Fed’s dot plot would further shed light on the same. In Germany, ZEW expectations inched up and the parliament passed the debt reform bill. In Japan, imports and core machinery orders softened while exports picked up at a modest pace. On domestic front, RBI announced OMOs of Rs 50,000 crore amidst increased pressure on liquidity which will continue to exhibit some tightness this week, on account of maturity of repos.
Except US, other global stocks ended stronger. Tariff jitters sent stocks in US lower. On the other hand, optimism on China’s growth prospects lifted Hang Seng higher. Nikkei also rose by 1.2%, tracking a fall in JPY. Sensex rose sharply by 1.5% led by gains in real estate and consumer durables stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with other Asian markets.

20 Mar 2025
US Fed held policy rate steady, as anticipated. The dot plot showed two rate cuts have been priced in by officials for CY25. Real GDP is projected to grow by 1.7%, lower than its earlier forecast of 2.1% for CY25 and core PCE is expected to be higher at 2.8% from 2.5% expected earlier. However, Fed Chair in his recent statement has downplayed growth concerns and has highlighted that inflationary impact of tariff is likely to be “transitory”, with no major bump expected in terms of de-anchoring of expectations. In China, benchmark lending rates have been kept at the prevailing rates, however officials hinted at timely monetary easing and liquidity injections. Amongst asset classes, the gold rally continued (US$ 3,048/Troy ounce). On domestic front, RBI’s net Fx intervention in outstanding forwards position swelled to US$ 77.5bn in Jan’25, partly attributable to the swap conducted for maintaining liquidity.
Global stocks ended mixed. Markets in US ended higher following Fed’s projection of two more rate cuts this year. Nikkei declined tracking a fall in Japan’s industrial production. Sensex rose, led by gains in real estate and power stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

Global markets again turned jittery as the US tariff deadline is approaching. President Trump again confirmed that reciprocal tariffs and sector specific tariffs will be imposed from 2 nd Apr. In another development, to reduce dependence on imports of critical minerals, US President is invoking emergency powers to provide a thrust to domestic production. On macro front, US jobless claims have inched up slightly (223K over last week’s 220k) albeit lower than expectations (224K). However, continued claims remained elevated which shows some loss of momentum in labour market conditions. In UK, average weekly earnings softened (3month/YoY at 5.8% from 6% earlier). BoE held rates steady being cautious of evolving geopolitical scenario. On domestic front, EPFO data showed 17.9 lakh net members were added during Jan’25 and the dominance has been of 18-25 age group.
Except India, stocks elsewhere ended lower. US stocks ended weaker as investors digested comments from Fed Chair amidst the ongoing tariff turmoil. Hang Seng ended sharply lower as the tech driven rally took a breather. Indian stocks noted 4th straight day of gains, with the Sensex rising by 1.2%. It is trading further higher today, while other Asian stocks are trading mixed.
