Global Equity Markets Wobble Amid Renewed Trade Tensions
Global stock markets are showing signs of strain as investors respond to renewed trade tensions and growing economic uncertainty.
In Asia, Chinese stocks managed to recover part of their early losses after initial panic sparked by U.S. tariff threats. However, market sentiment remains fragile, with major indices still under pressure.
In India, the mood was no better. The Sensex tumbled by over 400 points, while the Nifty slipped below the 25,200 mark as traders reacted to the wave of global risk aversion. Analysts say concerns over slowing global growth and rising geopolitical tensions are weighing heavily on investor confidence.
Across the Atlantic, Wall Street has also experienced heightened volatility in recent sessions. U.S. investors are grappling with uncertainty around trade policies, inflation trends, and upcoming central bank decisions — all of which have fueled a cautious, risk-off tone in the markets.
As the global financial landscape grows increasingly unpredictable, investors appear to be seeking safer assets, leaving equities on shaky ground for now.
