The trade war between the US and China can cause problems in the global business environment which might impact the performance of the global economy.
The settlement of trade battle is very much needed in order to stabilize the momentum of global equities. This permanent settlement can also help in the revival of the investorsâ confidence and they might decide to make deployments towards equities.

The oil prices are sensitive to the health of the global economy and to the movement of stock markets. However, these prices are also influenced by global tensions, uncertainties related to economic environment, geopolitical worries and the macro-economic variables. In the present scenario, it can be said that the global growth is in danger primarily because of the trade battle between the US and China and, in the event of economic slowdown, the oil demand might be affected.
