Oil prices softened as tariff fears weighed on global demand prospects.
Global markets ended in upheaval as the US President moved forward with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, while tariffs on China were hiked by 10%. With all three nations vowing retaliatory measures, the fears of a global trade war have resurfaced. In addition, US military aid to Ukraine was also withdrawn. These measures come on heels of weak macro data and raise concerns over its impact on US growth and inflation. Recent data showed a moderation in US ISM manufacturing PMI, led by a sharp decline in new orders. Input prices rose to a more than 2-year high amidst escalating trade tensions, which is likely to weigh on the sector. In Japan and Eurozone, manufacturing PMI rose but remained below the expansion mark. India’s manufacturing PMI printed at 56.3 in Feb’25 from 57.7 in Jan’25, even though the pace of expansion remained well above historical trends.
Global markets ended mixed as investors remain wary of retaliatory tariff measures. US stocks closed lower as ISM data softened. Stocks in China also moderated on tariff woes.

It is trading lower at 6.74% today.
Oil prices fell to a 6-month low on higher OPEC+ output and growth concerns.
US President exempted automakers from the 25% tariff imposed on Canada and Mexico for a month. Other exemptions are also being considered, possibly signalling a softer stance on tariffs. A smaller than expected increase in private payrolls in the US once again stoked fears of a slowdown, even as services PMI inched up. Separately, both China and Germany are considering greater fiscal support to boost growth and counter the impact of an escalation in trade tensions with the US. In India, services PMI jumped to 59.0 in Feb’25 from a 26-month low in Jan’25, led by a surge in new orders. To manage anticipated liquidity crunch due to financial year end related outflows, RBI announced OMO purchase of Rs. 1 lakh crores and USD/INR buy/sell swap auction of US$ 10bn (36 months). These measures are expected to infuse additional liquidity of ~Rs. 1.8-1.9 lakh crores.
Global markets ended higher driven by US decision to delay auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Hang Seng firmed up, led by technology stocks. Further, equity market sentiments were bolstered as China set an unchanged growth target for three straight years, despite ongoing volatility. Sensex inched up, led by power stocks. It is trading lower today; Asian stocks are trading mixed.
Global currencies appreciated. DXY fell by 1.4% as US private payrolls rose less than expected. EUR jumped led by anticipation of higher borrowing limits. INR appreciated by 0.3%, supported by positive global cues. It is trading further stronger today, in line with other Asian currencies.

Echoing similar views, the ECB hinted at a pause in future monetary easing, even as it reduced its policy rate by 25bps to 2.5%. In Japan as well, expectations of a pause in Mar’25 meeting have increased, with the next rate hike now expected in Q3 2025. China’s export growth in JanFeb’25 was recorded at 2.3%, much lower than expected 5% increase. Imports contracted sharply by 8.4% (est. -1%), led by weak domestic consumption demand.
