Bourse Report | 14.4.2025| Equities struggle as tariffs rattle markets

This week, on the Bourse Report, we review the performance of local and international stock markets. Locally, investor sentiment continues to remain weak, reflected in lower stock prices and trading activity despite broadly resilient earnings. Meanwhile, International equities have been rattled by tumultuous changes to global trade policy. US stocks have led the declines amid escalating volatility and uncertainty driven by US global tariffs, which have been met with reciprocity in some instances. In light of this, we examine the latest developments and offer investors strategies to navigate these turbulent financial waters.
