Asia hedge funds add Japan, India after tariff shock, says Morgan Stanley

Following the U.S. tariff imposition by President Trump, Asian hedge funds increased investments in Japan and India due to their resilience during market turmoil, reports Morgan Stanley. Japan's Nikkei 225 recovered from initial losses, and Indian stocks rose over 3% in April. Investors are hopeful for favorable U.S. trade negotiations. Funds also bought shares in Taiwan for short cover, while selling off in Australia, China, and Chinese consumer discretionary stocks amid ongoing trade tensions.

RIL's market capitalisation to swell by up to $100 billion, predicts Morgan Stanley

According to Morgan Stanley, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) could see a boost in its market capitalization of up to $100 billion in its fourth monetization cycle. The brokerage raised its target price for RIL by over 16 percent to Rs 3,540, indicating a potential upside of around 13.5 percent. The anticipated growth is expected to be driven by telecom tariff hikes, revenue from new energy business, upcycle in chemicals, and integration of its retail business. Morgan Stanley believes these factors mark a shift towards consumer and technology sectors for RIL.
