Nvidia, AMD to pay 15% of China chip sales revenue to US govt- FT
LONDON - UIL Limited, an investment company, has observed a 3.3% decrease in its net asset value (NAV) total return for March, lagging behind the FTSE All Share Index’s 2.3% decline. The monthly factsheet detailing these figures will be accessible on the company’s website.
Global markets experienced heightened volatility in March, primarily due to increased uncertainty around US trade tariffs. The S&P 500 Index fell 5.8%, and the NASDAQ dropped 8.2%, influenced by the US’s imposition of tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, China, and the automotive sector. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady but adjusted inflation expectations upward.
European markets also retreated, with the FTSE 100 Index down by 2.6% and the Eurostoxx Index by 3.9%. The European Central Bank cut rates to 2.5% in response to fiscal stimulus measures and ongoing geopolitical developments.
Emerging markets showed resilience, with the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the Chinese Shanghai Composite Index posting gains. India’s Sensex Index surged by 5.8%, buoyed by prospects of further interest rate cuts, while the Brazilian Bovespa Index rose by 6.1%, benefiting from domestic factors and being less exposed to US tariffs.
Gold prices reached a new high at USD 3,123.57 per ounce, and copper prices increased by 11.5%, both driven by the search for safe havens and tariff-related concerns. The US Dollar weakened against Sterling and the Australian Dollar but strengthened against the Euro.
UIL’s top ten holdings remained unchanged, with Resimac, its largest holding, experiencing a 6.0% share price decline following its first-half results of 2025. UIL’s ordinary shares fell by 7.3% to 108.00p, while its 2026 ZDP shares remained stable and its 2028 ZDP shares increased by 4.6%.
The company has invested in the Kumarina gold mining asset, drawing £8.0m from its majority shareholder to support the project, with the facility increasing to £16.0m post-month-end.
