India - US Tariff and Relations | News + Updates

Clearly he knows what he's talking about if he's got a huge following.

So does Donald Trump and Taylor Swift? Unfortunately for you, this moron sells "courses" while claiming to be an "expert" on market. More unfortunate that "market" doesn't control India.

This does a better job but not to your liking, is it? So understand this, Indian public is not concerned. 50% or 5000%, even if it hurts our economy, we will suffer it. Because we lack spine. And clearly, tariffs have not done their job well since India is not really suffering. A tool used again and again loses it's edge. It's been 5 months, when is the world ending!

India will still grow, and fairly healthily. I have said that before.

But it just won't have the quantum of investment inflows it hopes or pretends it will get.

Can you tell us how much "investment" India has received from US in last 30 years? Surely deceiving America through H1-B is not investment?

Real question is this, will Trump sanction China or say Germany?

Well IND, PRC and EU are all large importers of Russian energy. But I guess US will sanction only IND as PRC and EU are too large and have leverage over US which we don't have.

I suspect if USA does go ahead with a 500% tariff, we will have to give up on Russian oil. And honestly at the current global oil prices, it is not a big ask.

Give it up, 50% tariffs and our exports grew. But thanks for the comic relief

There has been a significant decline in India's import of Russian oil.

"India's imports of Russian crude fell by 595 kbpd month-on-month in December, dropping to 1.24 mbpd—the lowest level since December 2022" Kpler.

This called a "concession".

Certainly, Trump et al will welcome you with open arms as long as you make Putin baba angry. Poland's economic minister stated this very clearly to Jaishankar's face, who clearly got the message as he had no response and his eyes failed to glow red.

Laser vision, balancing acts and hug diplomacy are all obsolete entertainment forms.

Many people can’t understand that Stock Markets and Economy aren’t two parallels and they may not reflect into each other in a linear fashion. Sounds a little unintuitive but happens all the time.

Few examples in this regard may help them. Since intent of most of these posters is trolling, they would conveniently ignore this fact as this goes against their favourite activity - Trolling.

Let’s look at Shanghai composite Index, KSE 100 and BSE 100 over the last 10 years.

Shanghai Composite is at the same level at 2015. KSE has given a CAGR of 18% while BSE 100 has given 13%.

By the criteria quoted by brothers from the west of us, Pakistan economy is doing the best, while Chinese have gone into a recession. Hilarious, isn’t it?

Same level of celebration was seen on the day Trump had declared additional 25% tariff. They are doing the same today.

They got a preferential tariff of just 19% and should have shown some good numbers on economic front. But I don’t see any uptick in their exports. Loan to loan survival mode is still on. Rather than focusing on what they need to do, to grab this opportunity, what I see is celebration at a possibility of loss to Indian economy.

Our Pakistani friends here make no pretense about being a future economic power, nor do they have any desire or wish to improve their economy. Under these circumstances, I see nothing wrong in them celebrating the policy of a loss to the Indian economy. That is the only thing to be done.

The point is how much you need going forward, your aspirations to be the new China, and the difference between you and China

The stock market will rebound once a tariff deal is signed.

But the Americans are clearly signaling their intent to keep pressureing and indeed embarrassing India notch by notch

@r3alist bro

IND's gross FDI has been at around 2% of the GDP for a fairly long period of time. And I don't expect that to change much. That will be enough for a 6-7% GDP. It won't make us a China but if it is accompanied by better internal governance, sufficient for a better IND.

You are right on this, stock market is just a sham and burden for wealth distribution, only PPP matters and less favorable oil price will have huge impact on it for any country and for india even in more dramatic manner.

This might be your one post I fully agree with.

But who knows, everything is in flux
