Asset classes at the end of last week reacted to revival in trade war between US and China. US announced 100% tariffs on imports from China w.e.f 1 Nov 2025, after China tightened rules regarding exports of its rare earth elements. As a result, stock markets, sovereign yields and oil prices took a hit. However, more recently, President Donald Trump has hinted that there might be scope for negotiations between the 2 countries, which might support market revival this week. Separately, University of Michigan consumer survey noted a slight dip in sentiment in Oct’25 (55) versus last month (55.1), as consumers were less optimistic about the future (51.2 versus 51.7). However, 1Y ahead inflation expectations came down to 4.6% (4.7% in Sep’25). Domestically, investors await release of CPI data later today, which is expected to come in at 1.2%.
Barring domestic indices, other global indices ended lower. In the US, indices inched down with deep losses as US President warned of new 100% tariffs on China. With this, the trade tensions between US and China have resurfaced. On the other hand, Sensex rose by 0.4% with gains in real estate and banking stocks. It is trading lower today, in line with other Asian markets.

Global 10Y yields fell, reacting to re-escalation of trade war between US and China. US 10Y yield fell by 11bps. Investors also tracked lower than anticipated 1yr ahead inflation expectations of consumers (University of Michigan survey). India’s 10Y yield rose a tad, even as oil prices fell. However, following global cues, it is trading lower at 6.52% today.
