'Biggest risk to Indian market is...': Helios Capital's Samir Arora as markets plunge ahead of US tariffs
Business Today
·

Medial
Samir Arora highlights that the primary risk to the Indian market stems not from direct tariffs on India, but from the potential ripple effects of US tariff policies. As the US anticipates fresh reciprocal tariffs, India's economic vulnerability is linked to changes in the US market and economy. These changes can subsequently impact other global markets and sectors, such as Indian IT, as they react to economic shifts initiated by US trade actions.

These measures may cause short-term pain but are crucial. The book "Empire of Debt" argues that America's reliance on borrowing to maintain global dominance is unsustainable, comparing the US to past empires like Rome and Britain that collapsed due to financial excess and military overreach. The authors predict an eventual major crisis.

Economic expert Arvind Sanger suggests that India's economic growth relies more on structural reforms and corporate performance than on trade tariffs despite recent tariffs imposed by the US. While unpredictability in tariffs poses a risk, a trade deal with the US could be beneficial for India’s market, encouraging economic openness and competitiveness. Sanger emphasizes that Indian markets should focus on earnings and internal economic factors, rather than solely on trade tensions, for long-term health.

US tariffs, particularly those initiated by President Donald Trump, may slightly benefit India's smartphone exports. While U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports stand at 245%, Indian exports face a lower tariff of 26%. This could make Indian-made smartphones more competitive, despite being priced higher than Chinese ones. However, such tariffs may increase U.S. inflation and push global manufacturers to seek markets with lower tariffs, potentially impacting India's export boost in the longer term.

Goldman Sachs reduced India's economic growth forecast to 6.5% for 2025 due to these tariffs. Moody's Ratings noted the tariffs could hinder India's manufacturing sector ambitions, though India's economy remains resilient due to its relatively low trade reliance.
