These duties will come on top of the broad tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump, which have disrupted global supply chains and markets.
Known as antidumping and countervailing duties, they are intended to counteract the impact of what the Commerce Department deems unfair subsidies and pricing practices.

The stock continuously traded below average From Dec 2024 to March 2025. Recently the stock rallied to 2610 on continuous buying support. As seen in the above charts recently the stock started trading above averages after a long time and all averages have turned upwards. Indicators like KST, Aroon Up Down & ADX suggest Positive Uptrend. Target of 3000-3300 is expected & further addition is suggested at lower support levels (2420-2305 -2115) in case of intermediate fall. Any intermediate fall should be used to buy the stock. The stop loss in the trade should be kept at 2070.'

Can China reclaim its IPO crown?
One after another, blockbuster Chinese listings are coming to Hong Kong. In May Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, a drug manufacturer, and CATL , a battery-maker, sold $5.3bn-worth of shares between them. Seres, which makes electric vehicles, hopes to raise $2bn in the coming weeks. Shein, a fast-fashion firm, may abandon plans for an offering in London for one in Hong Kong. All told, in April more than 130 applications were under consideration by the local exchange, up from fewer than 60 at the start of 2024. On current trends, the city will be the world's largest venue for stock debuts this year. For Chinese firms, this is an exciting but incomplete turnaround. Although their country is in the midst of a tech boom, last year they raised just $20bn in IPOs at home and abroad. Only twice in the past two decades have public share sales yielded so little. Although $9.8bn has been raised in Hong Kong so far this year, only $3.9bn has been drummed up on the mainland. Stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen are 'barely functioning' as a destination for IPOs, says a banker. And not all Chinese companies will be able to go public in Hong Kong, either because of political constraints or because they are insufficiently prominent. A healthy domestic market is crucial to China's tech future. Reviving Hong Kong is a welcome start. The covid-19 pandemic and China's sluggish economic growth caused stock valuations to plummet in 2021; they stayed low well into 2024. That made new listings unappealing to firms, investors and regulators. Companies such as Hengrui and CATL, already listed on mainland exchanges, had been exploring Hong Kong, but permission from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) proved hard to obtain. The watchdog feared secondary listings in a depressed Hong Kong would drag down valuations in China. Rising tensions with America then provided another barrier. The Biden administration's restrictions on American investment in Chinese companies working on sensitive technologies, such as semiconductors or artificial intelligence, made the country's tech firms seem like risky bets. Since September, when Chinese officials became more serious about tackling the country's economic woes, investment has begun to trickle back. In January a mini tech-boom inspired by the progress of DeepSeek, an AI startup, added to the optimism. With the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, which tracks Chinese companies in Hong Kong, now 50% higher than at the start of 2024, official opposition to secondary listings has weakened. Bankers report that approvals from Beijing have flowed more freely in the past six months. Hong Kong has even found simple ways around America's tech-investment rules. Bankers working on IPOs now massage the language in sales materials. Horizon Robotics, which went public in October, was a test case. The autonomous-driving firm also designs semiconductors and develops its own AI models. But such words were mysteriously absent from the description of its business in the share prospectus. These sorts of changes, bankers say, make investors less wary. Could a restart on the mainland follow? Exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen have deep-rooted problems that lead to over-exuberance followed by languor. In 2022 Chinese IPOs raised a record, world-topping $81bn. That reflected a central-government plan which encouraged tech firms, especially in favoured fields such as chipmaking, to list within the country. Leaders' enthusiasm then waned in 2023 as stocks tumbled. They focused instead on liquidity in existing listings, fearing new offerings might reduce it and drive down valuations. In 2024 only 100 firms went public, the fewest for at least a decade. Mainland IPOs are still in a funk, with regulators more sensitive than ever about the performance of the leading stockmarket indices. The CSRC is said to have a lower bound of 3,300 points for the Shanghai Composite. To preserve liquidity, entire sectors, including the cosmetics and spirits industries, have been unofficially banned from listing. Only firms in critical tech industries are allowed to apply. As few as ten applications may be under review. Instead of focusing on IPOs, the CSRC is pushing through long-term reforms it hopes will stabilise share prices, such as making state-owned companies more accountable to shareholders. If market prices remain stable, more companies will gradually be allowed to go public. The CSRC has recently started contacting local regulators to spread the message that 'the market is not closed', an insider says. But because preparing an offering in China takes 12-18 months, a healthy flow of local share sales may start in earnest only in 2026, even if companies apply in droves. For firms thirsty for funds, that is a long wait. Hong Kong will not suit them all. Seres, the EV-maker, is backed by Huawei, a telecoms-equipment giant and perhaps the main target of American sanctions. Its prospectus will be another test of investors' risk appetite and bankers' creative-writing skills. The CSRC's growing control over IPOs in Hong Kong is another cause for worry. And though China's economy is showing signs of improvement, growth may worsen as the trade war begins to hurt. That could harm valuations—and again make IPO approvals harder to obtain.

Passively managed funds and portfolio allocation
The crux of your investment portfolio is allocation to various investment assets like equity, bonds, gold, etc. Within these are sub assets e.g. large cap/small cap stocks, long maturity/ short maturity bonds, etc. There is another approach to portfolio allocation. There would be a core part of portfolio, and a satellite component. The core component is not to be disturbed unless there is a drastic change in the market or in the fund. The satellite component is for taking tactical calls based on prevailing market situation. It is meant for taking advantage of extant market situations, and therefore the investment tenure can be short term. The more defensive the portfolio, the higher should be the core component as satellite is for taking higher risks. Passive funds The concept of passive funds is the fund manager does not take any decision on the portfolio. S/he does not take any decision on what to buy or when to sell. The fund manager's job is to follow the underlying index. As an example, if the underlying index is Nifty50 or Sensex, then the fund manager will mimic that. S/he will buy the same stocks as in Nifty/ Sensex, and maintain the same ratio in portfolio allocation. The returns, which simply follow the underlying index, will be similar as of the index. The returns will be marginally lower as there would be some recurring expenses in the fund and tracking error. Passive funds are available for various asset classes viz. equity, debt (bonds) and commodities. One passive idea or strategy can be followed by multiple Asset Management Companies (AMCs). Example, Nifty50- or Sensex-based passive funds. Two formats Passive funds are offered in two formats. One is Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) where fund units are listed on the exchange i.e. NSE/BSE. Investors can buy/sell ETF units during trading hours. There is no purchase or redemption with the AMC for ETF units. The other format is Index Fund format, where you can buy or redeem with the AMC, like any other open-ended fund. The advantage of Index Fund format is liquidity; when you want money, just make the redemption request. In ETFs, the advantage is you can do multiple buy/sell trades a day. In Index Funds, you can buy/redeem only once a day, at end-of-day NAV. Active vs. passive There is a debate between active and passive funds, which one is better? In active funds, expenses are higher. The expectation is, these funds would generate returns higher than relevant benchmark, which is referred to as alpha. If the active fund is not beating the benchmark, then why should the investor bear higher expenses? The investor would rather settle for a passive fund. The passive fund would never beat the benchmark, but give similar returns i.e. not underperform grossly. You should allocate to both as per your objectives, suitability and performance of the funds. Should passives be part of core portfolio or satellite? There is a tendency to have passives in the satellite component as the core portfolio is expected to accumulate wealth over a long period of time via compounding effect. Since the fund manager needs a long time to outperform the benchmark, it should not be disturbed. In the satellite portion, since you are taking relatively higher risk, you minimise the possibility of the fund underperforming the benchmark. Having said that, there is a shift, with a good reason, to have passives in the core component of your portfolio. The portfolio allocation compounding and accumulating wealth over a long period of time should be defensive. That is, the risk of your exposures underperforming the benchmark should be low, as you do not want to go wrong on that part. The satellite portion is meant to bear the risk. If your call/the fund manager's call goes right, you earn superior returns. Conclusion Data shows over 50% of active funds not beating the benchmark. The outcome varies on whether it considers direct plan (relatively lower expense ratio) or regular plan (relatively higher expense ratio). Hence, go for active funds where there is scope for the fund manager to outperform e.g. small cap or thematic funds. In large cap funds, the scope is limited as the universe is only 100 stocks. Where you want to settle for market or near-to-index returns, passives are better which can be core. Where you want higher returns, beating the index, you can allocate in the satellite component.

Here's how the West Asia war takes its toll on Indian stocks
Israel and Iran have struck deep inside each other's territory in their worst direct conflict yet, threatening to inflame crude prices and rattle India's stock markets. Based on NSE weekly options data on Friday, the benchmark Nifty could veer in a range of 24340-25060 this week, with a bias to the lower end of the range. On Friday, the Nifty closed at 24718.60 points, clocking a 14% recovery from a multi-month low of 21743.65 on 7 with oil surging by 7% on Friday and likely to rally more if the conflict escalates, markets could take a turn for the worse, analysts said. The Nifty could open a percent lower on Monday. "Indian stock markets, like their global peers, will have to brace for a challenging week ahead as both sides are ratcheting up attacks on each other's territory, including on energy assets," said Dubai-based Shankar Sharma, founder of GQuant Investech. "Crude could surge more after Friday's rally if the hostilities intensify, hurting Indian stocks." Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex fell 1.7% each to 24718.6 and 81118.6 over two days through Friday, after Israel attacked Iran's nuclear and military facilities a day earlier. The attack invited a serious retaliation from the latter, driving up Brent crude price by 7% to $74.2 a barrel, the most in five months. Also read | Govt to hold talks with exporters as Iran-Israel conflict stalls shipments, drives up costs Brent has averaged $79 over the past two years, Bloomberg data showed, but the latest outbreak could have a wider impact than the Ukraine-Russia war, which has raged since February 2022. The risk premium due to the escalating conflict could drive crude higher on fears that Iran could block the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that sees 100 million barrels transit every day, or a fifth of global oil demand. India imported over four-fifths of its oil consumption of 5.5 million barrels per day last year, according to oil cartel Opec, making it vulnerable to supply disruptions. "Our markets could see a bigger correction if oil rises further due to the conflict," said Chandan Taparia, senior vice-president (head of derivatives and technical research) at Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Taparia believes the Nifty could fall to 24200-24300 this week, which squares with the lower end of the range of 24340-25060 option traders are working with for this week. Option sellers on Friday sold the Nifty 24700 strike call and put expiring on 19 June. They received ₹720 a share (75 shares make a contract) for this. So , they have baked in a 720 point range for the market—360 down from 24700 to 24340—and 360 up from 24700 to 25060 this week. Read this | India concerned about crude oil supply disruptions in Strait of Hormuz as prices surge after Israel's attacks on Iran Agreed Rohit Srivastava, founder of analytics firm IndiaCharts, who said the marketwide quantum of overall put options to call options (index plus stocks) sold on Friday stood at 0.75 on Friday, which was still above the multi-year low of 0.65 on 3 March this year, indicating there is scope for a steeper correction from Friday's closing. Srivastava explained that in a bearish set-up, traders tend to sell more puts than call options on fears of a correction, which could expose them to huge losses as put prices rise when markets fall. A ratio of 0.75 means traders had sold just 75 puts marketwide for every 100 calls sold on Friday. In a bullish market, traders sell 90 puts for every 100 calls sold, he explained. Tension among traders was palpable with fear gauge India Vix rising 10% over two days of the conflict through 15.08 on Friday, as per NSE data. The Vix rises when uncertainty increases. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) accelerated selling Nifty and Bank Nifty futures contracts by 17660 contracts to a cumulative 104,209 contracts over two days to Friday. These sales act as hedges against losses to their portfolios in the event of a market fall. And read | Israel's war on Iran to hit Indian workforce FPI cash sales over Thursday-Friday stood at ₹4539 crore. Domestic institutional investors, including mutual funds, net-purchased shares worth ₹12,435 crore over these two days. However, a great part of this— ₹7703 crore—was because of a block deal in Asian Paints on Thursday and nearly ₹1900 crore in Jubilant group companies on Friday. FPI actions assume significance, going by their total equity assets, which stood at ₹71.26 trillion as of 31 May, according to NSDL. This compared with mutual funds' net assets under custody of ₹43.4 trillion as of the same date, according to the Association of Mutual Funds of India (Amfi).
