Summary

President Trump announced a 100% tariff on generic drug imports starting August 2028, threatening producers in India and China. ASEAN foreign ministers meeting in Manila addressed the tariff shock and geopolitical tensions, including South China Sea clashes. Oil prices climbed above $90 on Iran‑related supply risks. Asian tech stocks rebounded on renewed AI optimism ahead of Alphabet, Tesla, and Intel earnings, while IG’s Fabien Yip highlighted attractive entry points in Asian tech and Chinese AI laggards, and a bearish yen view. Separately, India’s Modi import‑substitution drive is creating new stock winners in manufacturing sectors.

  • Trump proposes 100% tariff on generic drugs from August 2028, with a threat to double it later.
  • India generic drug makers most exposed if finished products are targeted; raw‑ingredient suppliers in China also at risk.
  • ASEAN foreign ministers discuss tariff uncertainty, South China Sea tensions, and US commitment.
  • Brent crude rises above $90 as Iran conflict disrupts shipping and raises energy‑supply fears.
  • Asian equities rally, led by tech, as AI spending optimism returns after recent selloff.
  • Fabien Yip sees healthy foundation for Asian tech rally and rotation into China tech laggards.
  • Yen stays pressured by US‑Japan rate differential and BOJ reluctance to hike; intervention seen as temporary.
  • India’s import‑substitution push under Modi creates investable winners in fertilizers, chemicals, and auto components.
Ideas

Alphabet chip development may spur gains
Alphabet is well advanced in developing a new AI chip that could improve its development processes. If earnings confirm this, it could spur strong gains not only for Alphabet but for the broader AI space.

Asian tech pullback healthy foundation for rally
The recent pullback in Asian tech and semiconductor stocks, with some names down 20–30%, has created a healthier positioning and attractive entry point. Strong AI demand from hyperscalers and solid earnings prospects provide a foundation for the rally to extend, with rotation adding breadth.

China AI laggards attractive as rotation unfolds
Chinese tech companies are delivering on AI self-sufficiency, new models demonstrate strong compute capabilities, and investors are rotating away from expensive Korean and Japanese tech names into laggard Chinese names, making Chinese AI/tech stocks an attractive opportunity.

Yen weakens on yield differential, BOJ stance
The yen is structurally weak due to wide US-Japan yield differentials and a Bank of Japan that has not adopted a hawkish stance. Intervention would provide only a short-lived dip and a better entry to short yen; the trend points to further weakness, with 164 as a technical resistance target.

India import substitution creates stock winners
Modi’s renewed push for self-reliance and import substitution is creating a new class of stock winners in India. Companies with strong balance sheets and technological know‑how in fertilizers, specialty chemicals, and automotive components are emerging as top stock picks as they replace imported products.
