• Asian markets mostly traded up after the U.S. government hinted that
some of the countries would be exempted from the proposed import
tariff plans on steel and aluminum. This has eased concerns of global
trade war. Upbeat economic data from China and Japan also helped gains.

Japan and ECB. Today (As of Mar 9), Asian markets opened higher after

respectively (as at 8.a.m. IST).

• As per the last close, U.S markets ended almost higher after the U.S.
President implemented steel and aluminum import tariffs that excluded
