The stock markets are yet to genuinely gauge which industries will benefit from the tariff deals. Clarity will emerge only as and when industries announce how they are coping with tariffs and where they see more opportunities. (12/n). #MarketWatch #SectorImpact #TradeDealOutlook.

The hard negotiations are delaying a deal for both India and China, and the US President has used social media to apply enormous pressure on them. (4/n). #Geopolitics #TradePressure #USChinaIndia.
