Wall St futures steady, chip stocks slip on China sales deal
U.S. stock index futures were little changed on Monday as investors geared up for a busy week, while major chip companies seemed caught in the middle of the latest twist in trade policy ahead of a key tariff deadline with China. Semiconductor giant Nvidia dropped 1% in premarket trading and Advanced Micro Devices lost 2%. A U.S. official told Reuters that the companies had agreed to give the United States government 15% of revenue from the sales of their advanced computer chips to China, days after the Commerce Department began issuing licenses for the sale of Nvidia's H20 chips. Sale of the semiconductors was an integral issue in the U.S. agreement with China signed earlier this year and could strain the relationship between the two economies just before Tuesday's deadline for the deal's expiration. "The Trump administration reckons higher prices and snarled-up supply chains are an acceptable price to pay to encourage more U.S. manufacturing," said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets, Hargreaves Lansdown. "The unusual arrangement is another example of a mega tech company acquiescing to the U.S. administration's demands, to gain an upper hand as trade relations are redrawn." Markets also await clarity on the sector tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump has announced. At 05:45 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 98 points, or 0.22%, with 7,922 contracts changing hands, S&P 500 E-minis were up 6.25 points, or 0.10%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 11.5 points, or 0.05%. Traders took breather after last week's rally helped the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq log their strongest weekly performance in more than a month. Investors expect the recent shake-up at the U.S. Federal Reserve and signs of labor market weakness could nudge the central bank into adopting a dovish monetary policy stance later this year, fueling much of the optimism. Tuesday's consumer inflation report will either cast more doubt or offer clarity for investors, who are currently anticipating the Fed will lower borrowing costs by about 60 basis points by December, according to data compiled by LSEG. A better-than-feared earnings season was also a relief and BofA's monthly fund manager survey showed that owning megacap stocks was once again the most popular trade. Apple was a standout last week following its biggest weekly showing in five years, after the iPhone maker unveiled a series of U.S. investment pledges. The company's shares were down 0.7% on Monday. Gene therapy developers fell, with Sarepta Therapeutics dropping 7.6% and Capricor Therapeutics declined 9% as Vinay Prasad, a fierce critic of U.S. COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates, was expected to return to the Food and Drug Administration. Intel was up 1.6% and focus turned to a report that said CEO Lip-Bu Tan was expected to visit the White House after Trump called for his removal last week. In geopolitical news, Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin are expected to meet on Friday to try and negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, which could also affect the outlook for crude prices.

Indian rupee may hit new low as dollar rally, tariffs, outflows threaten currency
The Indian rupee is facing fresh pressure, hovering around Rs87.55 - Rs87.66 per US dollar, as a resurgent dollar index, hefty new tariffs on Indian exports to the US, and continued foreign money outflows weigh on the currency's outlook. According to market data, one US dollar now fetches approximately Rs87.55 to Rs87.66 in onshore trading, with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stepping in frequently to stem volatility. Against the UAE dirham, the rupee trades at around Rs23.80 per Dh1—reflecting modest weakening, with one rupee equivalent to just 0.0419 dirham. Over the past five years, the rupee has depreciated steadily — from approximately Rs74 per dollar in mid-2020, to breaking past Rs79 by 2022 amid surging crude and US rate hikes, and edging close to Rs83 in 2024 amid global recession fears. This year's slide to the 87-plus mark represents a cumulative decline of more than 13 per cent. The immediate pressure stems from a strong recovery in the US dollar, driven by safe-haven demand and expectations of further US Federal Reserve rate cuts, which are increasing demand for greenbacks and weighing on emerging market currencies like the rupee. Compounding this is the Trump administration's decision to impose 25 per cent tariffs and another 25 per cent of punitive tariffs on a wide range of Indian exports — textiles, gems, leather and chemicals — which is eroding export competitiveness and rattling investor confidence. The rupee marked its worst six-week losing streak in half a year as a result. Foreign investors have pulled more than $4-$10 billion from Indian equities and debt this year, while the RBI has spent over $9 billion to defend the currency through spot and non-deliverable forward (NDF) market interventions. 'Tariffs of this magnitude are not just a trade story — they are a currency story,' warns Vivek Mittal, head of Asia currency strategy at First Global Research. While India's growth fundamentals remain relatively strong — with GDP growth above six per cent and forex reserves exceeding $650 billion —experts caution that the rupee will remain sensitive to global monetary policies and capital flows. Priya Nair, senior economist at Axis Capital, notes: 'Even with robust domestic growth, if external factors like US tariffs, stronger dollar trends…come into play, the rupee will adjust to reflect those risks.' Non-deliverable forward (NDF) markets suggest a modest pull-back, with the rupee expected to open in the Rs87.52–Rs87.56 range — slightly firmer than recent trading — as RBI interventions temper expectations. However, structural risks remain intact. Unless the administration softens its tariff stance or US inflation surprises to the downside prompting dovish Fed moves, the rupee is unlikely to regain strength. 'From day to day, we learn more about new rules that could dramatically change the landscape,' said Darwei Kung, head of commodities at DWS Group. Forward indicators signal continued volatility: one-month implied volatility in USD/INR is nearing its annual peak, and option markets show rising demand for protection against a slide toward Rs85. The rupee remains in a vulnerable zone, with limited upside in the near term absent relief on tariffs or global dollar trends. Structural pressures from external shocks may keep the currency under pressure, with key support levels being tested and sentiment remaining fragile.
