1h agoHyundai Motor Company Q3 profit slumps as U.S. tariffs bite, but guidance unchanged
Hyundai Motor Company reported an operating profit of ₩2.5 trillion (~US$1.76 billion) for Q3 ended September 2025, down from ₩3.6 trillion a year earlier. The drop reflects a jump in U.S. automotive tariffs costing the company ₩1.8 trillion, up from ₩828 billion in the prior quarter. Despite the headwinds Hyundai maintained its full-year revenue and margin guidance, citing strong U.S. retail sales (+12.7%) and hybrid vehicle share (20%) as cushioning factors. The company also flagged risk from global demand slowdown.

Global equity funds saw about US$10.58 billion of inflows in the week to 29 October, led by Asia with US$7.19 billion (including US$5.46 billion to Japan), as investors anticipated a rate cut by the Federal Reserve and a trade-deal between the U.S. and China. Tech and utility-sector funds captured much of the interest, while gold and precious-metal funds saw outflows of US$1.51 billion. The flow underscores investor rotation toward equities amid policy signals and trade optimism even as risks remain high.

1h agoChina factory activity stumbles as export orders dry up
Manufacturing activity in China shrank for the seventh straight month in October, with the official purchasing-managers’ index dropping to 49.0 — its lowest in six months — as export orders continued to fall. Analysts link the weakness to front-loaded shipments ahead of prior tariffs and rising global trade headwinds. While non-manufacturing activity improved slightly, the overall trend underscores the fragility of China’s growth amid trade uncertainty and weak global demand. Stimulus may be required to stabilise the economy.

3h agoGlobal Risk Sentiment Improves as Oil Prices Ease for Third Month
Crude oil futures fell for the third straight month, declining 2.4% to $82.30 a barrel as supply normalization and stronger dollar capped gains. Energy-intensive industries welcomed the relief, with transport and manufacturing equities outperforming broader benchmarks. Analysts said lower oil prices could ease input-cost pressures globally and support central banks’ inflation-control efforts. Currency markets reacted modestly, keeping Brent volatility at a three-month low. The softening in crude coincides with reduced geopolitical risk premiums, giving risk-on sentiment a fresh boost across global asset classes.

Traders said subdued volatility in stablecoins and improving liquidity conditions hint at renewed structural interest. Altcoins, however, continued to lag as speculative capital exited riskier tokens. Market observers expect professional demand to increase once regulatory frameworks in the U.S. and Europe clarify, potentially creating a more balanced risk-reward profile for institutional portfolios.

The Sensex dropped 466 points while Nifty slid below 25,750 in afternoon trade, weighed down by foreign investor outflows and weak global cues. Selling pressure dominated IT and FMCG counters as traders booked profits following recent highs. Broader market indices also lost traction despite stable corporate earnings. Dealers attributed the pullback to risk aversion linked to upcoming U.S.–China trade decisions. Meanwhile, rupee weakness added to near-term concerns for overseas fund flows. Analysts expect volatility to persist as liquidity tightens before key macro data releases next week.

Investor enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence lifted Nvidia’s valuation past $5 trillion, achieved merely three months after crossing $4 trillion. The rally came despite a mixed broader market as traders digested corporate AI investment disclosures.

Meanwhile, demand for short-duration debt kept yields from sliding further. Currency strategists said the dollar’s advance could pressure emerging-market assets if sustained. The bond market’s calm tone suggested traders are waiting for next week’s inflation print before repositioning portfolios.

5h agoECB Holds Rates as Oil Weakness and Strong Dollar Ease Inflation Pressure
Maintaining its cautious stance, the European Central Bank left benchmark rates unchanged at 2 percent, citing improved inflation expectations. Softer energy prices and a stronger dollar have helped temper imported cost pressures across the bloc. President Lagarde noted that credit growth remains subdued, giving policymakers room to observe incoming data. Economists pointed to the third consecutive monthly drop in crude as a supporting factor for this pause. Market reaction stayed muted, though euro-area equities gained modestly on hopes that stability in policy will extend into early 2026.

Diverging opinions inside the Federal Reserve emerged after the latest policy meeting, with several officials voicing concern that inflation may not cool quickly enough.

Revenue rose 11% to US$4.59 billion, and EBITDA climbed 15% to US$2.51 billion. The company reaffirmed its annual copper-production target of 1.08 million metric tons and flagged U.S. investment options of up to US$6.2 billion aligning with industrial-policy incentives.

7h agoChevron Corporation tops Q3 earnings estimates with record production following Hess deal
Chevron reported adjusted third-quarter 2025 earnings of US$3.6 billion (US$1.85/share), significantly above analysts’ expectations around US$1.68/share, driven by a record production of 4.1 million barrels of oil-equivalent per day after completion of its US$55 billion acquisition of Hess in July. Cash-flow from operations jumped nearly 20% year-on-year to US$9.9 billion, helped by strong performance in the Permian Basin and U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

7h agoPatanjali Foods quarterly profit surges as edible-oils demand strengthens
Patanjali Foods reported a ~67.4 % year-on-year increase in profit for the quarter ended September 30 2025. Profit rose to ₹5.17 billion (~US$58.8 million) from ₹3.09 billion a year earlier. The rise was driven by strong demand for its edible-oils segment (70 % of its revenue) and benefitted from India’s import-duty cut on crude edible oils (down from 20 % to 10 %). Overall revenue rose ~21 % to ₹97.99 billion. The company also reduced prices on selected products to pass benefits to consumers after indirect-tax cuts.

The company said it expects to surpass its annual 10% order-growth target as it sees higher capital-expenditure in India and the Middle East.

MedPlus Health Services Ltd, one of India’s leading pharmacy-retail chains, posted a 43.3 % year-on-year rise in Q2 profit to ₹555 million (~US$6.31 million). Revenue climbed 6.5 % to ₹16.79 billion, helped by ramped store-opening activity and growing private-label product sales. The company operates over 4,200 stores and plans to add about 600 more by year-end, targeting smaller cities. Analysts say the faster expansion underpins pricing power and recurring prescription demand, though competition and margin stability remain key watch-points.

On Friday 31 October 2025, India’s benchmark indices slid, with the BSE Sensex dropping about 465 points and the Nifty 50 falling below the 25,730 mark. The decline was driven largely by losses in major private banks such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank following the Securities & Exchange Board of India’s tighter eligibility norms for the bank-heavy indexes. The strong U.S. dollar and the Federal Reserve’s cautious outlook on further rate cuts added to investor jitters, even as earnings momentum remains. Market breadth was weak as participants booked profits near high valuations.

Futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose after Amazon.com Inc. forecast stronger-than-expected holiday-quarter results bolstered by cloud growth and Apple Inc. projected solid iPhone demand for its upcoming quarter. The positive signals helped soften recent market jitters, though analysts warn that much depends on whether broader sector earnings follow suit. The tech-led lift may face a test if non-tech sectors fall short in the earnings wave, especially amid a cautious tone from the Federal Reserve on future rate cuts.

U.S. equity markets remain resilient ahead of a busy week of third-quarter earnings that will test whether recent tech-led gains can broaden across sectors. The forward price-to-earnings ratio on the S&P 500 has climbed to levels last seen during the dot-com era, prompting caution from strategists. Meanwhile, investors are watching whether the strong momentum in AI and growth stocks can be sustained when more cyclical companies report, and how a less-accommodative central bank might affect valuations.

U.S. startup funding for artificial-intelligence companies rose by approximately 75.6 % year-on-year in the first half of 2025 to reach about US$162.8 billion, even as overall venture-capital investment declined. AI accounted for roughly 64 % of all tech funding during the period, indicating a sharp shift in investor capital toward AI infrastructure, enterprise application and domain-specific models. Market participants note that this divergence underscores confidence in AI’s growth potential but also elevates concerns about overheating among early-stage companies and the sustainability of valuations beyond near-term use-cases.

Dubai has unveiled an ambitious strategy to become a major global hub for artificial intelligence and Web3-technologies, aiming to produce 30 unicorn startups by 2030. The plan lays out incentives for founders, international tech-firms and investors, including access to specialised zones, capital support and regulatory sandboxes. Analysts say that the initiative reflects Middle-East governments’ shifts from resource-based to tech-led growth, but caution that meaningful outcomes will hinge on talent, regulatory clarity and ability to deliver scale across global markets rather than just regional innovation labs.

India-focused equity funds recorded net outflows of about US$162 million in the most recent week, marking their eighth consecutive week of redemptions. Mid-cap dedicated funds saw deeper stress, with outflows reaching US$65 million, the largest since February 2025. Meanwhile, India-themed ETFs attracted US$98 million of inflows, highlighting a divergence where passive vehicles gained while active strategies faced withdrawals. Analysts attribute the trend to profit-booking, global rate uncertainty and a shift in allocations toward large-cap and index-centric exposures.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India mandated that the banking and financial-services indexes such as Nifty Bank, Bankex and Nifty Financial Services undergo restructuring by March 2026. Smaller weights for top constituents and more broad-based inclusion are required. The aim is to reduce exposure to manipulation risks linked with derivative-linked large-cap banks. The changes may alter fund flows, reweight ETFs and force index-capped funds to rebalance holdings ahead of the phased rollout.

Global spot gold is set for its third monthly gain, but the firm U.S. dollar and elevated yields are keeping a lid on upside. Indian dealers point to weaker footfall after the recent festival surge and a reduction in jewellery stock-building ahead of the wedding season.

India’s government reported that by the end of September the fiscal deficit reached ₹5.73 trillion (≈US$65.2 billion), amounting to 36.5% of the 2025-26 budgeted target. The figures reflect elevated spending and moderated revenue growth in the first half of the year. Analysts say the gap narrows the policy buffer and could influence upcoming bond issuance and interest-rate sensitivity. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and markets will closely watch how the deficit impacts bond yields and fiscal-monetary coordination.

A behavioural finance study published on 31 October 2025 found that many investors are abandoning rigorous analysis in favour of familiar heuristics, despite evidence these mental shortcuts underperform in volatile markets. The report revealed that over 70% of surveyed asset-managers admitted relying on rules-of-thumb such as ‘buy the dip’ or ‘tech always wins’, even while acknowledging these don’t consistently work. The findings raise concern that mounting valuation risk combined with cognitive bias could amplify drawdowns if sentiment reverses — a key warning for portfolios heavily tilted toward growth and momentum stocks.

A behavioural study published on 31 October indicates that many investors continue to rely on long-standing heuristics and 'rules of thumb' instead of rigorous analysis, despite data showing a 90 % confidence that these heuristics underperform. The report suggests that the recent speculative rally in equities may be partly driven by simplified mental models rather than disciplined evaluation of risk and return. Market-watchers caution that such behavioural gaps could amplify drawdowns if sentiment shifts abruptly.

Meanwhile, SME-IPO activity lagged significantly, with only 6 small issues raising ₹219 crore this month. The pipeline remains heavy, pointing to a possible blockbuster November ahead.

12h agoGold prices slip as dollar firms on Fed rate-cut pause
Gold prices fell 0.3% amid a firm U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields after the Federal Reserve signalled that further rate cuts may not be guaranteed. Spot gold traded near $4,011.60 per ounce, though bullion is still on track for a third straight monthly gain. The dollar’s strength increased the cost of gold for other currency holders, and with yield-bearing assets more attractive, gold’s immediate upside appears limited unless global inflation or policy surprise emerges.

12h agoEquity mutual funds in India deliver up to 9% returns in October amid sectoral rotation
In October 2025, Indian equity mutual funds achieved returns of up to 9%, outpacing benchmark indices whose gains were more modest. The outperformance was largely driven by sectoral and thematic funds, which led the rally, while some funds lagged. Despite the strong month, analysts caution on sustainability given global policy uncertainty and elevated valuations. Investors are weighing inflows, exit levels and whether fund houses will broaden sector exposure beyond high-flying themes.

India’s key equity indices, the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex, are on track for their strongest monthly gain since March, despite a flat opening on 31 October. Buoyed by upbeat earnings reports and renewed foreign inflows of around US$1.94 billion in October, the rally is supported by mid- and small-cap strength. However, global headwinds—including caution from the Federal Reserve and U.S.–China trade tensions—remain a drag. Investors are monitoring consolidation near all-time highs with caution and selective positioning.

The Indian rupee slid to around ₹88.74 per US dollar as of early trading Friday, inching close to its all-time low due to strong dollar demand from importers and hedging flows. Traders refrained from large long-positions, citing the risk of intervention by the Reserve Bank of India and uncertain global rate cues. Despite solid foreign equity inflows pulling into India, currency pressure remains an overhang for market segments sensitive to imported inflation and FX hedging costs.

Traders refrained from large long-positions, citing the risk of intervention by the Reserve Bank of India and uncertain global rate cues. Despite solid foreign equity inflows pulling into India, currency pressure remains an overhang for market segments sensitive to imported inflation and FX hedging costs.

14h agoBOJ signals possible rate hike in December or January, timing tied to wage momentum
The Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady at 0.5% but Governor Kazuo Ueda flagged that a rate increase may come in December or January, with timing dependent on wage growth and the yen’s strength. The board upgraded its growth forecast while maintaining caution amid global uncertainties. The hawkish tone was notable given the BOJ’s recent easing campaign, and the comments triggered speculation about returning to normalisation earlier than expected in Japan’s ultra-low interest rate era.

14h agoOil prices decline, on track for third month of losses
Oil prices slipped as both supply and demand factors weighed on the market — a stronger U.S. dollar and ample output from major producers dampened gains even after geopolitical shocks. Brent crude futures fell to about $64.64 a barrel while U.S. WTI crude traded near $60.14, both marking a potential third consecutive monthly decline. Weak manufacturing data from key regions further added to the pressure. Market watchers said the outlook for oil may remain subdued unless there is a meaningful shift in demand or supply disruptions.

14h agoChina factory activity contracts for 7th month, export orders dry up
China’s official manufacturing PMI fell to 49.0 in October, marking the seventh straight month of contraction as export orders dropped sharply. The shortfall in external demand and weakened global orders are dragging growth. Services held marginally above 50 with a reading of 50.1, but the overall picture points to a struggle to rebalance toward domestic consumption. Policymakers are considering increased stimulus through policy financing and bond issuance, though many analysts expect only moderate measures aimed at meeting the year-end growth target rather than aggressive easing.

Market participants cited weak global risk appetite and uncertainty around the U.S.–China trade outlook. Crude oil’s recent volatility and lack of fresh cues from the Federal Reserve have added to hesitation. Analysts suggested near-term consolidation ahead of corporate results. Despite muted foreign inflows, broader technical structure remains supportive above 25,800 levels, with buying expected to re-emerge on dips if global conditions stabilize.

India’s mutual fund ecosystem, managing ₹75.6 lakh crore across 24.3 crore investor accounts, is preparing for major disruption following SEBI’s October 28 discussion paper.

Analysts estimate annual revenue losses between ₹15,000 and ₹18,000 crore, directly hitting AMC profitability and fee structures. Industry experts anticipate consolidation among smaller fund houses and a shift toward automation-led efficiency. While asset managers assess margin impact, investors are expected to benefit through reduced costs and greater transparency in fund operations.

India recorded a current account deficit of $2.4 billion in the first quarter of FY26, supported by resilient exports and service-sector inflows. The gap narrowed from the prior quarter as remittance growth and moderating oil imports cushioned trade imbalances. Economists said improved foreign investment sentiment and contained import bills helped stabilize external metrics. Despite global trade uncertainty, India’s overall external position remains strong. Analysts project the deficit will stay below 1% of GDP this fiscal year if commodity prices remain stable.

Domestic bullion markets saw marginal declines on Friday with 24-carat gold slipping ₹10 to ₹1,21,470 per 10 grams and silver falling ₹100 to ₹1,41,200 per kilogram.

Analysts expect precious metals to stay range-bound until rate clarity emerges. Rising U.S. yields and stable dollar index are likely to limit near-term upside in international gold benchmarks.

Domestic bullion markets saw marginal declines on Friday with 24-carat gold slipping ₹10 to ₹1,21,470 per 10 grams and silver falling ₹100 to ₹1,41,200 per kilogram. Traders said mixed global cues and the U.S. Fed’s policy stance tempered investor demand. Jewelry demand remained steady in major cities ahead of Diwali. Analysts expect precious metals to stay range-bound until rate clarity emerges. Rising U.S. yields and stable dollar index are likely to limit near-term upside in international gold benchmarks.

16h agoGST Reforms Spur Consumption Recovery While Imports Pressure Manufacturing Margins
Recent GST adjustments have boosted consumer spending, lifting near-term growth sentiment across retail and FMCG sectors. Analysts say smoother credit flow and streamlined compliance have improved business efficiency and reduced working capital strain. However, import costs remain elevated, posing challenges for domestic manufacturers reliant on global raw materials. Economists cautioned that India must sustain supply-chain resilience and incentivize local production to offset widening trade gaps. The reforms are expected to contribute positively to Q3 demand cycles despite lingering cost pressures across export-driven industries.
