4 Growth driven by revival in manufacturing and industrial activity. Surge in commodity prices in the past year and half aiding the growth. Likely to further deteriorate the global export demand. Potential to cause dip in global economic activity moving ahead. Fed raised the interest rates by 25bp last month. FED had raised US GDP forecasts for 2018 & 2019 to 2.7% & 2.4%, from 2.5% & 2.1% respectively. OPEC production cut remains key supportive factor for the market sentiment. Escalating tensions between Saudi and Iran. Improving profitability of the shale oil producers amid rising production and firm oil prices.

5 Current growth momentum at the global level is driven mainly by the strong revival in industrial and manufacturing sectors aided by the surge in commodity prices in the past year and half. However, protectionist trade policies from major countries like US and India etc., is resulting in dip in global export demand which can be seen in significant decline in the trade surplus of China in coming months. In this context, the escalating concerns over US - China trade war would further deteriorate the global export demand eventually resulting in dip in global economic activity moving ahead. 5
