German election risk to record high European stocks

Asian shares were muted in early trade on Tuesday, and the dollar wobbled near two-month lows. On the other hand, European stocks surged to lifetime peaks driven by the prospect of increased defence spending to back up any Ukraine peace deal.

US President Donald Trump's pledge to implement universal tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports caused commodity currencies, Asian stocks, and cryptos to decline. Markets are set for a risk-off session on Monday as investors remain apprehensive about the escalating trade tensions.<o:p></o:p>
Trump's remarks came just after German chancellor Olaf Scholz's assertion that the European Union was prepared to retaliate "within an hour" should the US impose tariffs on European imports.<o:p></o:p>
And, with no indication of progress between Beijing and Washington, China&rsquo;s retaliatory tariffs on some US exports are set to take effect on Monday. Markets are jittery as tariffs are likely to drive up inflation and further restrict the Federal Reserve's ability to ease monetary policy.<o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Stocks, currencies slide on tariff jitters<o:p></o:p></h2>
According to experts, the nations whose currencies Trump is targeting will likely see a decline in value versus the dollar. Investors reacted by pushing the dollar higher. The Australian and Canadian dollars and the Norwegian krone declined after Trump's comments.<o:p></o:p>
Tariff risks are expected to weigh on the Indian rupee further after the Reserve Bank of India cut rates for the first time since May 2020. The rupee closed at 87.43 on Friday, near its all-time low of 87.58. The Indian currency fell nearly 1 per cent for the week, its worst weekly decline since December 2022.<o:p></o:p>

In commodities, gold is edging towards a new record. The bullion was last trading around 2,860 dollars per ounce after hitting a new high of 2,886 dollars last week. Even while the dollar is strong, gold prices have risen to record highs, propelled in part by speculation that Trump may slap import taxes on the precious metal.<o:p></o:p>
On the other hand, oil prices have taken a beating due to concerns that a trade war may slow down the world economy and reduce energy demand. Still, the market was due a bounce and ticked higher on Monday after three weeks of losses. The benchmark Brent crude was trading just above 75 dollars a barrel.<o:p></o:p>

Global markets roundup: Stocks slide on tariff jitters

Global markets are exuding a sense of resilience despite the fog of uncertainties.&nbsp;US 'Big tech' stock prices have fallen, the value of the safe-haven yen has soared to new heights, and fears of a worldwide trade war have taken hold.
However, risk assets show the ability to bounce back. Shares in South Korea, Japan, and Australia rose. Stocks in Hong Kong and mainland China fluctuated in opening trade.
<h2>Traders look beyond tariff wars, for now</h2>
Following two consecutive days of gains for the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, which extended a rebound from Monday's decline, US Equity futures remained steady.&nbsp;Reasons for this resiliency, or the ability of the market to bounce back, include lower US Treasuries and dollars and abundant market liquidity.
The combination eases financial conditions globally, encouraging risk-taking in broader markets. However, the latest earnings readings weighed on tech stocks.&nbsp;Shares of Alphabet, Google&rsquo;s parent company, plummeted 7 per cent on Wednesday, their worst day in a year, and AMD shares lost 6 per cent.
Still, the Nasdaq recouped its early losses to finish the day marginally higher. Major technology stock index 'Faang' ended the day in the green, ending near its recent all-time high.
After China officially launched a complaint with the World Trade Organisation, all eyes in Asia are on what else Beijing would do in reaction to Trump's 10 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods.&nbsp;Following Wednesday's Lunar New Year holiday, Chinese markets were mostly quiet, but yuan pressure is mounting.
In other currency news, investors priced in tighter monetary policy from Japan following solid wage numbers, sending the yen soaring over 1 per cent to an eight-week high versus the dollar.
In commodities, gold held near its record high after Trump accentuated geopolitical risks and worries about the global economy.&nbsp;Gold resumed its rally as trade war jitters continued to attract investors to the safe-haven metal, sending it to fresh record highs on Wednesday.
Oil prices fell as US crude inventories swelled and traders worried about China-US trade. Benchmark Brent crude was down over 2 per cent to trade below 75 dollars a barrel.&nbsp;
Supply concerns also weighed on oil. Trump drove Iran's oil exports to near zero during part of his first term after reimposing sanctions to curtail the country's nuclear program.

Global markets stay resilient amid uncertainties

US President Donald Trump backed away from his latest threats to start a trade war with America's neighbours.&nbsp;Deals on no US tariffs for Mexico and Canada helped mark a positive step away from the brink, at least for another month.
Markets have been all over the place but going nowhere fast. Like the tariffs, they are back to square one. So far this week, the tariff story is trumping US payroll data as a driver.
<h2>Trump's tariff chaos driving global markets</h2>
Market moves continue to get pushed and pulled by the trump tariff on/off switch. That confirms that delayed tariff deals done to help avoid tariffs are good for risk exposure and growth.
The deep sell-off and the reversal in markets within 24 hours reflect Trump's dealmaking underscores that everything was negotiable.&nbsp;The latest news on Mexico and Canada is certainly a glass half full. However, the worry is that the can is being kicked down the road.
For now, the deal has extended the tariff drama for another month. But the real question now is: does Trump have clay feet?&nbsp;Is he blinking after the chaos and deep sell-off in markets? Trump is also under fire over his exercise of power.
On Monday, Trump sought to allay one of the most major recent scandals: Musk's access to treasury systems that oversee trillions of dollars of payments authorised by Congress.
This was in the midst of Trump's first weeks in office, during which some of his actions were deemed unconstitutional by legal experts.&nbsp;Trump stated that he has authorised the Tesla co-founder to oversee American government expenditures before payments.
However, he stressed that Musk does not have the authority to halt payments unilaterally without authorisation.&nbsp;The criticism, though, is of the access Musk has and the platform to use this to benefit many of his own businesses.

The tariff on/off switch reflects bluster diplomacy

With just a few days to go before the budget, there is a growing debate on India's growth story. Indian stocks were a hot bet among international fund managers until a few months ago when benchmark indices repeatedly hit record highs.<o:p></o:p>
However, that mood has dwindled since late September. At one point, Indian stocks were considered a serious contender to China in the emerging market indexes. Such ambitions are now dwindling as the market is shaken by a slowing economy and foreign outflow. The rupee's value has dropped to new lows versus the dollar, and economic growth has slowed to a four-year low. Since the end of September, foreign funds have sold shares worth over 19 billion dollars in the nifty benchmark, which is poised for its worst monthly losing streak since 2001.<o:p></o:p>
Bloomberg Economics predicts that India's GDP growth in the March quarter might be cut by as much as 50 basis points due to the market selloff. As a result, household spending could be further dampened by the wealth depreciation that follows.&nbsp;This means the government is under even more pressure to turn things around before presenting the budget on February 1.<o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Indian stocks rage fading?<o:p></o:p></h2>
Chetan Seth, an Asian Pacific equity strategist at Nomura Holdings, said, "The unbridled enthusiasm in India has faded a bit."&nbsp;He added, "There are clearly more investors now who are asking difficult questions, and there is a healthy debate as opposed to no debate earlier on the India story."<o:p></o:p>
The stock market and corporate profits in India were both bolstered by the government's strong emphasis on infrastructure development and the consumer boom post-pandemic. As a result, the country was a favourite among global equities investors.&nbsp;The total value of firms included in the MSCI India index reached a record high, increasing by about 2 trillion dollars in just over two years.<o:p></o:p>
Just then, the growth story began to show signs of cracks. High inflation dampened demand in metropolitan areas in addition to discouraging the central bank from lowering rates. Investors started to doubt if Indian stocks were worth the premium they were trading at as corporate earnings started to decline.<o:p></o:p>

Global Market Roundup: DOW, S&P 500 post best weekly gains

Let's look at WION's global markets and economic health check for this year. First, let's look at how top global markets performed this year. Broadly, crude oil is set to end 2024 with over 5 percent losses, following more than 10 percent crash last year. Bitcoin has surged nearly 130 percent, with the so-called 'Trump trade' boosting the token since his re-election.

WION's Global Economic Health Check

Asian stocks fell on Friday as traders were disappointed by the absence of specifics from a Chinese economic conference. 
 
Additionally, risk appetite was lower ahead of next week's federal reserve policy meeting.

Stocks and government bonds were hammered overnight, driven by a deep sell-off on Wall Street. This led to a slump in Japanese and Australian benchmarks. 
 
Shares in both Hong Kong and China fell in early trade due to a lack of policy specifics and new measures in the readout from China's central economic work conference. 
 
South Korean stocks fell Friday, and the won was steady amid ongoing political uncertainties. 
 
Traders also weighed red-hot producer price inflation against higher-than-expected US jobless claims, causing the S&amp;P 500 to close lower.

The dollar remained mostly unchanged, holding onto the gains made during the past five sessions. 
 
In commodities, oil is headed for a weekly increase. This comes as the possibility of tougher US sanctions on Russia and Iran offset continued worries about a large global excess next year. 
 
Brent was steady above 73 dollars a barrel, up around 3 per cent so far this week.

Gold remained on track for a weekly increase of nearly 2 per cent. Bullion traded near 2,680 dollars an ounce — after falling 1.4 per cent on Thursday. 
 
The yellow metal was still on pace to end the week higher on bets the fed will cut rates next week. Lower borrowing costs typically aid the precious metal, as it doesn't pay interest.
