Global Markets:
Asia-Pacific markets commenced the week with a mixed performance on Monday, as investors assessed the rising tensions between Japan and China, particularly in light of Beijing’s advisory urging its citizens to exercise caution regarding travel and study in Japan. The escalating conflict between the nations regarding Taiwan led to considerable declines in Japan’s tourism and retail stocks today. China has consistently positioned itself as one of the leading sources of tourists traveling to Japan.
The escalation followed remarks made this month by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan regarding Taiwan, a self-governed democracy that China views as part of its territory. Ms. Takaichi informed the Japanese Parliament that a potential Chinese assault on Taiwan might provoke a military reaction from Tokyo.
On Friday, the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo issued a warning to its citizens regarding travel to Japan, citing what it characterized as significant safety risks. China has not presented any evidence; however, the warning may have implications for a significant segment of Japan’s tourism economy.
Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, known for her outspoken stance against China and its military maneuvers in the area, indicated this month that Tokyo might consider military action should Beijing launch an attack on Taiwan. On the data front, Japan’s economy experienced a contraction of 0.4% in the quarter ended September, which was smaller than anticipated compared to the previous quarter. Market participants closely observed significant regional indicators, such as Thailand’s Q3 GDP report and the most recent trade balance figures from Singapore. On Friday in the U.S., the Nasdaq Composite experienced a slight rebound as investors re-entered major tech stocks following the sector’s role in causing Wall Street’s most significant drop in over a month during the prior session.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq increased by 0.13%, closing at 22,900.59, thereby ending a three-day decline. The S&P 500 closed close to unchanged, declining by a mere 0.05% to 6,734.11, whereas the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 309.74 points, or 0.65%, finishing at 47,147.48. All three indices had previously recovered from more significant intraday losses, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 declining by as much as 1.9% and 1.4%, respectively, while the Dow was down nearly 600 points (1.3%).
Domestic Market:
Domestic equity benchmarks concluded the trading session on Friday with slight gains, marking the continuation of their winning streak for a fifth consecutive session. The market experienced a downturn for the majority of the day, influenced by weak global indicators and ongoing foreign fund outflows that negatively impacted sentiment.
A notable recovery in the final thirty minutes, fueled by robust purchasing in PSU bank stocks, enabled the Sensex and Nifty50 to recover losses and close in positive territory. The sentiment among investors saw an uptick following the NDA’s decisive win in the Bihar Election 2025, which instilled renewed optimism regarding political stability.
The Nifty 50 closed above the 25,900 level, bolstered by advancements in PSU banks, pharmaceutical stocks, and FMCG sectors. Conversely, IT, metal, and auto stocks faced pressure, limiting the potential for gains.
The S&P BSE Sensex increased by 84.11 points, reflecting a rise of 0.10%, bringing the index to a total of 84,562.78. The Nifty 50 index increased by 30.90 points, reflecting a gain of 0.12%, closing at 25,910.05. Over the course of five consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex experienced an increase of 1.61%, whereas the Nifty saw a gain of 1.63%.
