Global Markets: The US Dow Jones index futures were currently up by 450 points, signaling a strong opening for US stocks today. Most European shares traded higher while Asian stocks ended mixed on Monday, as U.S. President Donald Trump issued and then softened threats of increased tariffs on European imports over the weekend. Japanese equities extended recent gains, while technology shares across the region, particularly those supplying Apple Inc., declined. Investor sentiment was weighed down by concerns that Trump may impose a 25% tariff on all iPhones and other smartphones manufactured overseas. The remarks added pressure to tech stocks in Asia, many of which are key suppliers in Apple's global production chain. Broader Asian markets also tracked the losses seen on Wall Street last Friday, when Trump initially announced plans to impose 50% tariffs on European Union goods. However, on Sunday, he stated that implementation would be delayed until July 9. Reports indicate that Japanese trade officials will visit Washington in early June for a fourth round of bilateral trade discussions. Despite ongoing talks, Japan has maintained its position that the United States should remove all existing tariffs on Japanese exports. U.S. market ended lower on Friday following the renewed trade rhetoric. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.61%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.67%, and the NASDAQ Composite declined 1%. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that he would recommend a 50% tariff on all EU imports starting June 1, citing a lack of progress in trade negotiations. He wrote, The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with, Trump said on Truth Social social media site. Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Earlier in the year, the administration had imposed a series of tariffs on EU goods, including a 25% duty on automobiles, steel, and aluminium in March, followed by a 20% tariff on additional products in April. These were later reduced temporarily to allow space for further negotiations. In response, the EU suspended planned retaliatory tariffs and proposed eliminating duties on all industrial goods traded between the two sides. Trump also announced that iPhones sold in the U.S. would need to be manufactured domestically or face a 25% import tariff. This marked the first time in 2025 that a specific company has been singled out in U.S. trade policy. Apple shares fell more than 3% in premarket trading, contributing to a broader decline in technology stocks.Powered by Capital Market - Live

According to the media reports, the court also put BPSL's liquidation on hold, giving JSW temporary breathing room. The earlier May 2 verdict had cancelled JSW's resolution plan citing delays under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), even though JSW had already taken over BPSL's operations and invested heavily. Now, the apex court has reportedly instructed the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to pause proceedings until it rules on the review plea, which JSW must file within 30 days. BPSL is a key asset for JSW, with its Odisha plant contributing 4.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to JSW's total domestic capacity of 34.2 MTPA. JSW has also served demand notices to banks, seeking refunds on payments made under the now-invalidated deal. BPSL was one of the 12 major loan defaulters flagged by the RBI in 2017, with total dues exceeding Rs 47,200 crore. By the time insolvency proceedings began, it owed over Rs 45,000 crore. In 2019, JSW Steel acquired the company for Rs 19,700 crore after the NCLT approved its resolution plan. However, the Supreme Court later struck down the resolution plan, calling it illegal and a violation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). A bench led by Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma slammed the conduct of key stakeholders, citing a flagrant violation of the IBC, and ordered BPSL's liquidation. Despite legal hurdles, mainly from ex-BPSL promoter Sanjay Singhal, JSW went ahead with the acquisition and revived the plant. With the review petition now allowed, the company may still reclaim the asset or at least recover its investment. JSW Steel, the flagship business of the diversified JSW Group, is India's leading integrated steel company. On a consolidated basis, net profit of JSW Steel rose 15.70% to Rs 1503 crore while gross sales declined 2.86% to Rs 44341 crore in Q4 March 2025 over Q4 March 2024. Powered by Capital Market - Live
