hikes. There were also reports of the U.S. and China framing agreements
on contentious issues of trade.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 0.40% and
0.51%, respectively, to close at 35,898.35 and 10,789.85, respectively. S&P
BSE Mid-Cap and S&P BSE Small Cap gained 0.88% and 1.07%,

foreign affairs ministry spokesperson said the country would not use the
yuan's exchange rate as a bargain to deal with the trade dispute. Today (as
of Feb 22), Asian markets opened lower following losses in the U.S. Wall
Street amid U.S. weak economic data. Both Nikkei and Hangseng was
trading down 0.39% and 0.53%, respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).

updates and factory activity data in Feb 2019 offset investor optimism
about U.S.-China trade talks.
• As per the last close, U.S markets closed lower following batch of largely
disappointing U.S. economic data. However, optimism about trade talks
between the U.S. and China restricted the losses.
