Macquarie sounds alarm on Vodafone Idea. Downgrades to ‘underperform’, cuts target to Rs 6.50
Shares of Vodafone Idea (Vi) came under pressure after global brokerage firm Macquarie downgraded the telecom operator’s stock to ‘Underperform’ and revised its target price downwards to Rs 6.50, from the earlier Rs 7. The downgrade comes in response to the latest equity dilution move by the Government of India (GoI), which now holds a significantly higher stake in the company.
Following this, the stock ended 3% lower at Rs 7.95 on the NSE on Friday.
The Government has decided to convert Vodafone Idea’s outstanding spectrum dues for FY26 into equity, increasing its ownership in the company from 22.60% to 48.99%. Consequently, the Aditya Birla Group’s shareholding has fallen to 9.5% (from 14.4%), while the Vodafone Group’s stake has reduced to 16.1% (from 24.4%).

Markets are like people on cocaine: Deepak Shenoy says markets overreact, Nike will weather tariffs
As markets digest the impact of sweeping new U.S. tariffs, Deepak Shenoy, founder and CEO of CapitalMind, argued that fears about their effect on companies like Nike Inc. are overblown and disconnected from business fundamentals — even as shares of the sneaker giant dropped sharply.
“Markets are basically like people who have taken cocaine. Overreact to everything, and have short term memories,” Shenoy posted on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, using Nike as a case study to show why the real effect of new import duties is limited.
Shenoy's comments come in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement on April 2, unveiling a 10% base tariff on all U.S. imports and sharply higher “reciprocal” duties on goods from major trading partners. Vietnam — where Nike manufactures about half its shoes — will be hit with a 46% levy starting April 5.

China to slap extra 34% tariffs on US imports
China said on Friday it would slap 34 percent tariffs on all imports of US goods from April 10 after Washington imposed steep new levies on Chinese products.

Beijing's Commerce Ministry also imposed export controls on seven rare earth elements, including gadolinium -- commonly used in magnetic resonance imaging -- and yttrium, which is used in consumer electronics.
China will also file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over tariffs, the ministry said.

Rupee ends tariff-singed week a tad stronger as dollar falters
The Indian rupee notched a slight gain in a week marked by the announcement of sweeping U.S. reciprocal tariffs, which jolted global currency markets and dragged the dollar lower while lifting safe havens such as the Japanese yen and Swiss franc.
The rupee closed at 85.2350 against the U.S. dollar, ending stronger on the day and up 0.3% on the week, adding to a 2% gain over the last fortnight.
The local currency rose to a year-to-date high of 84.9675 earlier in the day but shed some of its gains on the back of corporate hedging demand and a slight dollar uptick in the latter half of the session, traders said. Read More
