📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • A surprise US pause on reciprocal tariffs for 90 days eased trade war fears, lifting markets globally. IT majors’ Q4 misses (e.g., TCS) were offset by optimism for H2 FY26 order book growth.

  • India’s domestic strength—RBI’s 6.00% repo rate, benign inflation (4% FY26 forecast), and local demand—supports a balanced portfolio approach for long-term gains.

  • Bilateral trade talks with the US could shift export sector outlooks, while a US-China tariff escalation (China’s 125% vs. US 145%) boosts India’s EMS appeal. Focus remains on Q4 results and the RBI’s accommodative stance.

Market This Week

  • Nifty, Sensex, and Midcap index slipped 0.3% each; Nifty Bank fell nearly 1%.

  • Friday’s 2% gain cut weekly losses; IT, Metal, and Realty down 2-4%, PSU and FMCG up 2-4%.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

The US tariff pause, announced today, follows a 26-27% reciprocal rate implementation, offering a 90-day window—its longest delay since Trump’s policy shift in March 2025.

Your Weekly Stock Markets Rundown: 🌐 Orange Bear 🐻 Rattles the Globe: All Eyes on RBI Amid Tariff Turmoil

April 7–11, 2025

The week of April 7-11, 2025, unfolds under the shadow of US reciprocal tariffs, which triggered a global market sell-off and heightened recession fears. India stands relatively better positioned due to lighter tariff impacts and the services sector exemption, while the RBI MPC meeting (April 7-9) could offer a domestic boost with a potential rate cut. Investors will closely monitor the MPC’s response to global trade tensions, alongside key US and UK economic data releases. With benchmark indices reeling and gold likely to remain a safe haven, the market outlook remains cautious, with opportunities in defensive and service-driven stocks.

👀Stocks to Focus:

  1. Tata Steel: Tariff pause could sustain metal gains.

  2. NBCC: Strong sales may drive momentum.

  3. TCS: Q4 miss may pressure IT further.

📝Summary:

Indian markets jumped 1.9%, with the Nifty above 22,800, as a US tariff pause eased trade war fears. Metals led, but IT lagged post-Q4 miss. DII buying countered FII outflows, supported by domestic rate cuts and inflation trends. With a 0.3% weekly dip, optimism grows—watch trade talks and Q4 results!
