Dr. V Ok Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services says, “Trump dilly dallying on tariffs with the latest decision to postpone imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico to April 2nd is being viewed by markets seriously. Markets feel that Trump is keen to negotiate deals rather than stick to high tariffs for the long term. The sell-off in the US stock markets also is an indication that Trump’s policies might impact growth and earnings in the US. Meanwhile China and Germany are implementing reforms to stimulate their domestic economies from Trump’s policies. This change in the global construct can impact stock markets. The dollar index is steadily softening; this is good news for India. Importantly India’s growth is recovering and stock market valuations are fair now. Despite FII selling exceeding DII buying, the market is moving up indicating increasing retail, HNI and UHNI buying. This trend can continue.”
