The U.S. markets closed lower on Wednesday amid escalating trade tensions, following reports that President Trump had ordered a halt in semiconductor software sales to China. Additionally, minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting highlighted growing uncertainty surrounding tariffs. Despite this, Nvidia's strong earnings report provided a boost to tech stocks, lifting futures and supporting overall sentiment.
U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar both saw gains, while gold steadied and oil prices rose following OPEC+ output decisions. Global markets, however, had mixed responses, with Asian markets trading higher on Thursday after a U.S. court ruling against Trump's tariffs and a rate cut by South Korea’s central bank.

U.S. Markets: The U.S. market dropped following news that President Trump ordered a halt in U.S. chip software sales to China, leading to a 0.5–0.6% decline in major indices. However, sentiment improved later after Nvidia’s earnings beat expectations, and a U.S. court ruled against Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs.
Asian Markets: Markets in Asia traded higher on Thursday, buoyed by the U.S. federal court ruling on tariffs and the Bank of Korea’s rate cut to 2.5%, the lowest since August 2022. Notable gains were seen in Japan’s Nikkei 225 (+1.18%), South Korea’s Kospi (+0.78%), and other regional indices.
ITC is expected to see a $96 million inflow due to BAT's stake sale, which could increase ITC's free float in both the Nifty and Sensex.
