Delhi Confidential: Seattle Warmth
Amid the frostiness in India-US ties over trade tariffs, senior Seattle functionaries hailed Indian-Americans at an event organised to celebrate India's Independence Day. On the day, the Tricolour was unfurled on top of the Space Needle, an icon of the city's skyline. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and other dignitaries acknowledged the contributions of the Indian-Americans in shaping Seattle's journey to become a tech hub in the Pacific Northwest. Claiming Space Off the political landscape for quite some time, former Union minister Uma Bharti was recently the chief guest at an event in Bareilly's Aonla Assembly segment where a statue of freedom fighter Avanti Bai Lodhi was unveiled. Organised by UP Cabinet minister Dharampal Singh, the event was attended by a number of senior Lodh community leaders, including Union Minister of State B L Verma and MP Sakshi Maharaj. The leaders highlighted the role of OBCs, especially the Lodh community, in strengthening the BJP. Sources said the event was aimed at seeking better political representation for the community at a time when Dharampal is being seen as among the probables for the UP BJP president's post. Desirable, Undesirable After assuming additional charge as the Delhi Police chief, S B K Singh assigned an unusual task to the Special CPs (law and order) of both zones — to list 'undesirable' individuals who get their photographs clicked with police officers. Insiders say Singh got to know that some shady individuals establish contact with police officers, get clicked with them and misuse such photographs to their advantage in unlawful activities. He also made it clear that any contact with such characters should be avoided and asked the Special CPs to prepare a list of such individuals and submit it to the Special CP (intelligence) by August 31.

It's time to buy India, not sell, says Jefferies' Wood
Christopher Wood MUMBAI: Christopher Wood, a leading analyst on emerging markets at global broking major Jefferies, has suggested that India should not bow to US President Donald Trump's pressure tactics relating to higher tariffs. He advised Jefferies' clients to buy India, rather than sell, given the current global situation. Wood also indicated that the way Trump is going against some of the world's largest economies, it would push at least the Brics-the block of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa-towards de-dollarisation. De-dollarisation refers to a trade process, where rather than using the US dollar as the currency for trade between two countries, the partners trade in a non-dollar currency. In his widely read newsletter titled Greed & Fear, Wood said that Jefferies would not view the previously discussed 50% tariff on Indian imports to the US as a reason to sell Indian equities. "Rather, it is probably a reason to buy them since Greed & Fear's view is that it is only a matter of time before Trump backs off the stance, which is not in America's interest. "On this point, it is worth noting that the track record makes it clear that it pays to stand up to the Donald," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Put Bananas in the Garden and Just Watch Life Wise Hub Undo Wood said Jefferies has almost always been significantly bullish on India in Greed & Fear's various portfolios, most particularly, its Asia ex-Japan long-only portfolio. He mentioned that a recent report by Jefferies India highlighted that the country has just suffered its biggest period of under-performance over the past 12 months in a global emerging market context spread over the past 15 years. "This is not a great surprise tactically, since Korea has ripped higher on value-up while Taiwan has of late been celebrating the massive capex spending by hyperscalers (the leading global tech companies currently on a spending binge). For India the problem has been high valuations and, most importantly, massive equity supply. This is why we have of late been running only a marginal overweight in India in the Asia Pacific ex-Japan relative-return portfolio," Wood wrote in his newsletter. Still, Jefferies India made an interesting point in the report: following previous such periods of under-performance, the Indian market tended to bounce on a relative basis. "Or, in other words, that it is now too late to cut India with valuations now back near the 10-year average 63% PE (price-earnings) premium over emerging market peers," Wood said. The Jefferies strategist also said that one of the principal reasons Brics countries are coming together again is because an effective foreign policy conduct for a major world power requires a conceptual framework and "this is what is conspicuously lacking in the current US administration. The 47th US president certainly has no such framework and is also bereft of an adviser who has one." "This has become only too starkly evident in the past several days as Trump has succeeded in bringing China, Russia, India and Brazil together like never before. Indeed, Brics as a grouping has been regalvanised," he observed in the newsletter.
