Experts noted that geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over the Fed rate cut are continuously affecting the markets. The global trade dynamics, which will shift under Trump 2.0, are also influencing markets globally.
“The index dropped by 1.5 per cent on the previous session, influenced by concerns over geopolitical developments and uncertainty regarding future interest rate cuts.
