Market Update:Dow Jones Ended In Green. Market Players Need To Track Trade-Related News

The global equity markets are sensitive to the news related to the macro-economic parameters and these news can also influence the buying behaviour of the market participants. If there is some sort of positive news or the various macro-economic factors indicate that the global growth might get improved, the equity markets might witness positive momentum. This is largely because the market players decide to increase their allocations towards equities which positively affects the broader momentum of stock markets.

The trade battle between the US and China can affect the global economic growth and this can negatively impact the performance of stock markets. The slowdown worries tend to negatively impact the sentiments of market participants and they reduce their deployments towards equities.

It can be said that the settlement of trade battle is very important to stabilize the broader momentum of equity markets. Notably, the oil prices are also affected by the equity markets’ movements.
