Dollar catches breath, Brazil real slides on tariff threat; bitcoin near record high
The U.S. dollar slipped further from a two-week high versus major peers on Thursday, as President Donald Trump's latest tariff salvos failed to shake markets, except in Brazil where a threatened 50% levy sent the real sliding as much as 2.8% overnight. ADVERTISEMENT The dollar felt additional weight from a sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields following a strong auction of 10-year notes on Wednesday, tempering worries about the "Sell America" narrative that had seen Treasuries, the dollar and Wall Street stocks sold off in tandem earlier this year. Overall, investors were hungry for riskier assets with the most damaging tariff scenarios looking increasingly unlikely, helping Nvidia become the first stock ever with a $4 trillion valuation, and lifting cryptocurrency bitcoin to an all-time peak just shy of $112,000. Sentiment also drew support from minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting, with most policymakers of the opinion that interest rate cuts will be appropriate later this year. The dollar index, which measures the currency against six major peers, eased 0.1% to 97.286, extending a 0.2% decline from Wednesday, the same day that it pushed to the highest since June 25 at 97.837 before losing momentum. With the exception of Brazil, Trump's latest batch of letters to trade partners contained tariff rates close to those already proposed in his original "Liberation Day" announcement on April 2, as had been the case with other letters this week. ADVERTISEMENT Trump has also left the door open to extensions beyond the new August 1 deadline if countries make compelling proposals. Brazil had originally been slated for just the baseline 10% levy, but Trump cited not just trade practices but the treatment of its former president, Jair Bolsonaro. ADVERTISEMENT Bolsonaro, who was friendly with Trump when they were both in office, is on trial on charges of plotting a coup to stop current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023. The real plunged as low as 5.6047 per dollar for the first time since June 6 overnight, and was last changing hands at 5.5826 per dollar. ADVERTISEMENT "It is a reminder of Trump's penchant for tariffs as a tool against a wide range of grievances, trade fairness or otherwise," Taylor Nugent, senior markets economist at National Australia Bank, wrote in a client note. While the latest batch of letters failed to move markets much outside of Brazil, Nugent said, "more interesting is the letters we haven't seen, with India, the EU, and Taiwan conspicuous examples." ADVERTISEMENT Trump and other officials have said several times lately that a deal with India is close, while the European Union is also edging toward a framework agreement. The euro gained 0.2% to $1.1747 on Thursday, while sterling added 0.2% to $1.3612. The dollar drooped 0.3% to 145.84 yen and fell 0.3% to 0.7922 Swiss franc. Bitcoin crept up 0.3% to around $111,114, inching back towards the all-time high hit overnight of $111,988.90. "The new record high came on improved risk sentiment," IG analyst Tony Sycamore wrote in a note to clients. "While the push to new highs hasn't yet sparked the fireworks the market might have been hoping for, there is scope for bitcoin to make further gains towards $120,000."

48% fall in M&A/PE deals in June qtr
New Delhi: Merger &Acquisition (M&A) and Private Equity (PE) deals declined sharply by 48 per cent in value terms to $17 billion in April-June compared to the previous quarter due to mounting global uncertainties and a cautious investment climate, according to consultancy firm Grant Thornton Bharat. In volume terms, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and PE deals dropped by 13 per cent to 582 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter. India's M&A and private equity landscape experienced a significant slowdown in April-June 2025, with deal volumes and values both taking a hit due to mounting global uncertainties and a cautious investment climate, GTBharat said. A total of 582 transactions (including IPOs and QIPs) amounting to $17 billion were reported during the June quarter. This marks the lowest quarterly deal value since Q2 2023. After excluding public market activity, 554 deals were recorded, with a combined value of $12.8 billion. The decline is attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the Iran-Israel conflict, policy uncertainties surrounding the Trump presidency, the Russia-Ukraine war, and surging gold prices, which collectively dampened investor sentiment. 'Despite the slowdown, the sustained momentum in private equity investments, the emergence of new unicorns, and a promising uptick in public market activity towards the quarter-end are encouraging indicators.
