Special Report 28-Aug-2018
Global markets at a glance Wall Street's major indexes fell on Thursday as tradesensitive stocks were hit by a fresh round of tariffs in the trade dispute between the United States and China. Despite ongoing talks, the two countries imposed tariffs on $16 billion worth of each other's goods. Shares of industrial giants Caterpillar Inc and Boeing Co , which have been bellwethers of trade sentiment, were among the biggest drags on the Dow. Caterpillar shares fell 2.0 percent, and Boeing shares fell 0.7 percent. In the S&P 500, the technology sector was the sole gainer, rising 0.2 percent. But it pared gains late in the session, sending the tech-heavy Nasdaq into negative territory along with the S&P and the Dow.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 76.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 25,656.98, the S&P 500 lost 4.84 points, or 0.17 percent, to 2,856.98 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 10.64 points, or 0.13 percent, to 7,878.46. The energy index fell 0.5 percent and the materials index fell 0.7 percent, the biggest percentage drops among the S&P's major sectors, as prices of crude oil and metals fell due to trade war worries.The potential political fallout from the legal woes of two former advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump also weighed on investor sentiment. Asian shares advanced again on Tuesday while major currencies held on to gains amid hopes global tariff tensions were abating as the United States and Mexico made a deal to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement.Investors expect Canada too would agree to the new terms to preserve a three-nation pact, ultimately dispelling the economic uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump's repeated threats to ditch the 1994 NAFTA accord.MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan climbed 0.3 percent for a second straight day of gains. Australian shares added 0.5 percent while Japan's Nikkei jumped 0.8 percent. Previous day Roundup The Nifty50 on Monday kicked off the F&O expiry week on a strong note. The 50-pack took out the immediate resistance at 11,620 and ended near the 11,700 level, suggesting that the bulls were back on a buying spree after Friday’s indecisiveness. A large bullish candle on the daily chart is signalling confidence and the index may do well in the rest of week. Index stats The Market was very volatile in last session.
