Stocks, dollar dip as Trump passes spending bill, trade deal deadline nears
LONDON -Stocks slipped on Friday as U.S. President Donald Trump got his signature tax cut bill over the line and attention turned to his July 9 deadline for countries to secure trade deals with the world's biggest economy. The dollar also fell against major currencies, with U.S. markets already shut for the holiday-shortened week, as traders considered the impact of Trump's sweeping spending bill that is expected to add an estimated $3.4 trillion to the national debt. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.5%, with banks, mining-related stocks and retailers among the top laggards. U.S. S&P 500 futures edged down 0.6%, following a 0.8% overnight advance for the cash index to an all-time closing peak. Wall Street was closed on Friday for the Independence Day holiday. Trump said Washington would start sending letters to countries on Friday specifying what tariff rates they would face on exports to the United States, a clear shift from earlier pledges to strike scores of individual deals before a July 9 deadline when tariffs could rise sharply. Investors are "now just waiting for July 9", said Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG, with the market's lack of optimism for trade deals responsible for some of the equity weakness in export-reliant Asia, particularly Japan and South Korea. At the same time, investors cheered a surprisingly robust U.S. jobs report on Thursday, sending all three of the main U.S. equity indexes climbing in a shortened session. "The U.S. economy is holding together better than most people expected, which suggests to me that markets can easily continue to do better ," Sycamore said. Following Thursday's close, the House narrowly approved Trump's signature, 869-page bill, which averts the near-term prospect of a U.S. government default but adds trillions to the national debt to fuel spending on border security and the military. TRADE THE KEY FOCUS IN ASIA Trump said he expected "a couple" more trade agreements, after announcing a deal with Vietnam on Wednesday to add to framework agreements with China and Britain as the only successes so far. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said earlier this week that a deal with India was close. However, progress on agreements with Japan and South Korea, once touted by the White House as likely to be among the earliest to be announced, appears to have broken down. The U.S. dollar index had its worst first half since 1973 as Trump's chaotic roll-out of sweeping tariffs heightened concerns about the U.S. economy and the safety of Treasuries, but had rallied 0.4% on Thursday before retracing some of those gains on Friday. As of 1430 GMT it was down 0.1% at 96.94. The euro added 0.2% to $1.1778, while sterling held steady at $1.3662 as British assets steadied following investor fright over the last two days at a tearful appearance by Finance Minister Rachel Reeves in parliament on Wednesday. The U.S. Treasury bond market was closed on Friday for the holiday, but 10-year yields rose 4.7 basis points to 4.34%, while the 2-year yield jumped 9.3 bps to 3.882%. Gold firmed 0.4% to $3,336 per ounce, on track for a weekly gain as investors again sought refuge in safe-haven assets due to concerns over the U.S.'s fiscal position and tariffs. Brent crude futures fell 57 cents to $68.23 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped 66 cents to $66.34, as Iran reaffirmed its commitment to nuclear non-proliferation.

Markets 90-day tariff pause rollercoaster nears an uncertain end
(Refiles to include dropped phrase "domestically held" in paragraph 27, no other changes to story) Pause on Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs expires on July 9 Stocks have flourished despite tariff volatility Major exporters to US still awaiting clarity Gold rises on inflation risks, global unrest, US debt worries GDANSK/LONDON, July 4 (Reuters) - The deadline U.S. President Donald Trump set for major trading partners to strike deals with Washington or face hefty tariffs expires next week, bringing to a close 90 days of volatility but leaving global investors in the dark over what will happen next. Trump's propensity to issue a threat, or impose a new tariff, only to reverse course shortly afterwards has led to turmoil over the past three months. Investors, however, have now become somewhat inured to this sort of policymaking on the fly. And, as a result, there is little evidence at this point that many are preparing for fireworks on July 9. Instead, most expect some kind of delay, pause or compromise. What that will look like, however, is anyone's guess. Here is a snapshot of where major markets are now, relative to where they were when Trump dropped his initial tariffs bombshell on April 2: Global stock markets have staged a strong recovery following the intense volatility triggered by Trump's tariff announcement. The MSCI World index, which fell 10% between April 2 and April 9, the day Trump paused the tariffs, has hit successive record highs and gained over 11% since the original "Liberation Day" announcement. Global equities got another boost in May, when the U.S. and China reached a temporary truce, pausing many tariffs for another 90 days. Geopolitical tensions, including Israel's recent strikes on Iran and Washington's subsequent bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, briefly reined in sentiment but have not derailed the broader rally. The S&P 500, which had lagged other major equity markets earlier in the year, has closed those gaps, gaining over 10% since April 2, and is neck and neck with the MSCI all-country index, which excludes the United States . There's an important caveat, however. The S&P has only hit record highs in dollar terms. The weakness in the U.S. currency has eroded the returns for overseas investors. In euro or Swiss franc terms, for example, the index is still about 10% below February's record high, while in pounds, it's 7% below the sterling-denominated peak. The U.S. dollar, widely regarded as the world's most powerful and stable currency, has suffered a knock to its reputation from Trump's tariffs and the subsequent 90-day pause. The dollar index, which reflects the U.S. currency's performance against a basket of six others including the euro and the Japanese yen, suffered its worst first half of the year since 1973, declining by approximately 11%. It has fallen by 6.6% since April 2 alone. Against the currencies of some of the United States' biggest trading partners, the decline has been even more marked. It has lost some 8% against the euro and the Mexican peso since then and 5% against the Canadian dollar. Vincent Mortier, the CIO of Europe's largest asset manager Amundi, said the euro has plenty more room to run, especially as U.S. debt worries are also driving the dollar down. "I won't be surprised if by the end of next year we start to revisit the $1.30 level," he said, highlighting that at its 2008 peak, the euro got as high as $1.60. FOR EXPORTERS, CERTAINTY IS THE PRIZE European shares have more than recovered losses suffered since Trump's "Liberation Day". But strength in the euro and anxiety over tariffs have kept them below March's record highs. Large exporting sectors such as pharma and autos, which make up around one-third of EU exports to the United States, have rebounded too, but have been more volatile. Brussels is reportedly open to a U.S. deal that would apply a universal 10% tariff on many of its exports, something several investors would view favourably should it be confirmed. Citi said markets risk being caught offside if tariffs are reimposed at 20% or reach 50%. "Trump is truly unpredictable, but if it's really around 10%, I think the markets will react very well," said Carlo Franchini, head of institutional clients at Banca Ifigest. The impact of the trade talks extends beyond Europe, however, with automakers in Japan also being watched. Citi's base case is for a sustained 25% tariff, while a surprise cut to 10% could unlock a 50% upside for Japanese auto stocks. Gold has featured as the hedge of choice against an array of risks, from tariff-induced inflation, to geopolitical risk and a shift away from the U.S. dollar. The price has hit record after record, rising 26% so far this year to around $3,330 an ounce. Gold has eclipsed bitcoin , which has gained about 14% year to date, and even Nvidia , the maker of chips that power AI capabilities, whose shares went parabolic last year and have risen about 18% this year. Since April 2, gold's ascent has gathered pace, fuelled by purchases from central banks, fund managers and even individuals. A survey by UBS Asset Management this week showed 39% of respondents said they planned to increase their domestically held gold holdings, compared with 15% last year. The independence of the Federal Reserve - whose chair, Jerome Powell, Trump has berated repeatedly for not cutting interest rates fast enough - is one of the key concerns cited in the survey.

Mysuru Eyes $10 Billion Digital Economy by 2030, Unveils Roadmap at Big Tech Show 2025
Mysuru: Karnataka's second-largest tech cluster is fast transforming into a major digital innovation hub, with the Mysuru Big Tech Show 2025 setting the tone for an ambitious $10 billion (₹10,000 crore) digital economy goal by 2030. The State Department of Electronics, IT/BT and S&T, in collaboration with the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), released the KDEM Vision Document 2025 – Mysuru Chapter during the event held at the Infosys Mysuru campus. The roadmap outlines Mysuru's strategy to emerge as a global destination for deep-tech, electronics manufacturing, and startup innovation. With a projected 150,000 new digital jobs and support for over 2,800 startups, the region is positioning itself as Karnataka's next big growth engine beyond Bengaluru. KDEM Chairman B.V. Naidu announced that Mysuru has already attracted over 15 companies in the past year, generating 750+ new jobs. A further 200,000 sq ft of tech-ready workspace is in development. KDEM CEO Sanjeev Kumar Gupta emphasised Mysuru's role as a key spoke in Karnataka's 'spoke-shore' model, anchored by a forthcoming Global Technology Centre with 10,000 seats. Among the biggest investment announcements: Vayu Assets pledged ₹1,250 crore for a PCB plant catering to domestic and global markets. MiPhi Semiconductors, an Indo-Taiwan JV, announced its entry with plans for an R&D-focused Global Technology Centre. Forward Air & Omni Logistics submitted a Letter of Intent to set up a GCC (Global Capability Centre) in Mysuru. McLaren Strategic Solutions aims to establish nano-GCCs impacting 50,000 people within two years. Dr. Sanjay Tyagi, Director at STPI, noted that under the central government's EMC 2.0 scheme, anchor units in Mysuru could attract over ₹1,591 crore in electronics manufacturing investments. Innovation Showcase and Startup Awards The event featured over 80 startups, 60 innovation booths, and participation from more than 1,100 delegates across six countries. The top 10 startups from the 'Mysuru BLUE 2025' program were felicitated, with Swayam Analytics, Meladath Auto Components, and Agropak Pvt Ltd emerging as the top fundable ventures. They earned booths at the upcoming Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025. Policy & Ecosystem Focus Key sessions covered Karnataka's Startup and Skilling Policies, women in tech, building ESDM supply chains, and attracting GCCs. The LEAP (Local Economy Accelerator Program), worth ₹1,000 crore, aims to generate 3000 new ideas annually, boost over 500 startups, and create 50,000 jobs. A special Women@Work (W@W) roundtable addressed the inclusion of women in ESDM, IT/ITES, AI, and digital roles. Emphasis was placed on workplace safety, flexible hours, and digital skilling formats for rural and re-entry women professionals. Looking Ahead Dr. Ekroop Kaur, Secretary, Department of Electronics, IT/BT and S&T, said Mysuru already contributes ₹5,000 crore in IT exports annually and is home to over 1,200 startups. 'With strong plug-and-play infrastructure and a deep talent pool, Mysuru is well on its way to becoming India's most infrastructure-ready digital hub.' Minister Priyank Kharge said Mysuru will play a pivotal role in Karnataka's $300 billion digital economy target. 'We are at an inflection point where Mysuru can become the second technology capital of the state,' he said. As the Mysuru cluster integrates innovation, infrastructure, and investments, the Big Tech Show 2025 reinforced its emerging role in shaping India's decentralised and inclusive digital economy vision.
