Global stocks fall as worries rise over tariffs and US economy
Why the market is crashing this morning?
The primary factors that have influenced the current market downturn are:
1) Apprehension regarding GDP data
The economic slowdown, the declining earnings growth Trump’s trade policies and a constant sell-off by foreign investors have caused benchmarks to fall 14% below their highest levels at the end of September.
Investors are keeping an eye on the GDP figures for the December quarter that are due to be released post-market times on Friday. According to a Reuters study of experts India’s economy could have seen improvement in this time.
2) Trade Policy Uncertainty
Trump’s latest announcement has moved the effective date for 25% tariffs for Canadian as well as Mexican exports until March 4 moving from the original date of April 2. Trump also announced an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports while maintaining his position on 25% tariffs on European Union shipments. The fluctuating trade policies caused market volatility.
3) IT Sector Faces Downturn
Asian markets suffered a decrease on Friday and the MSCI Asia ex-Japan dropped 1.21 per cent following the downward trend in Wall Street following Nvidia’s dramatic drop. The tech sector was also under tension after Nvidia’s report on its earnings provoked a negative reaction among investors and led to the widespread selling of AI-related shares, including the other “Magnificent Seven” companies. The Nifty IT index dropped 3.2 per cent, with significant decreases within Persistent Systems, Tech Mahindra and Mphasis with losses ranging from 4% to 4.5 per cent.
4) Dollar Strengthens
