As the market players are aware, global economic uncertainties and trade tensions between the US and China have the potential to impact the broader movement of stock markets. In the event of global slowdown, generally, market participants sell their equity holdings. The global uncertainties tend to negatively impact the sentiments of global market players. As we know, the trade battle could disrupt the primary business activities of global companies and, as a result, there could be negative impacts on top and bottom line numbers. Therefore, to bring stability in the global business environment and in broader stock markets, the trade war needs to end on a permanent basis.
