US stocks also fell overnight, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all declining. Yields on Japan's government bonds rose to their highest level since July 1999.

India's goods trade deficit reached a record high of $41.7 billion in October 2025, driven by a 200% surge in gold imports to $14.7 billion due to festive season demand. Exports to the U.S., India's largest market, declined by 8.5% to $6.3 billion, impacted by the 50% tariffs imposed by the U.S. in August. Despite this, the U.S. remained India's top export destination for the first seven months of the fiscal year. India's exports of gems, jewelry, engineering goods, and textiles also fell. However, exports to China rose by 42% to $1.6 billion. Analysts expect India's merchandise imports to decrease in November and December but warn that the current account deficit could widen to 2.4-2.5% of GDP in the third quarter. Trade negotiations between the U.S. and India are ongoing, with both sides showing signs of softening their stance on tariffs.
