Asian stocks opened higher after a phone call between US President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping buoyed sentiment.
US markets saw a broad-based decline on Thursday:
The losses were led by Tesla, which plunged 14.26% following an escalating feud between Elon Musk and President Trump over the controversial US tax bill impacting EV manufacturers.
Tesla’s stock closed at $284.70, shedding over $150 billion in market value in recent sessions. Musk’s standoff with the White House is now viewed as a significant overhang on EV stocks.
A renewed dialogue between Trump and Xi offered a glimmer of hope. Trump posted that the conversation “ended very positively,” and follow-up trade discussions are underway.
The European Central Bank cut its key deposit rate by 25 bps to 2%, marking its seventh rate cut in the ongoing cycle. However, policymakers indicated a possible pause in the near term.

Gold rose 0.3% to $3,361.36/oz, heading for a 2.3% weekly gain. US gold futures also climbed to $3,384.40.
Spot silver, however, dipped 1.2% to $35.71/oz, staying near a 12-year high.
According to Ajit Mishra, SVP at Religare Broking, “While rate cut expectations are largely priced in, RBI’s tone will determine short-term market direction. Investors should stay stock-specific amid global volatility.”
