India engaged in further trade talks with US, Indian government source says
NEW DELHI: India is engaged in trade talks with the United States, an Indian government source with knowledge of the discussions said on Friday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order imposing a 25% tariff on New Delhi's exports. Trump set steep import duties on dozens of trading partners, including a 35% tariff on many goods from Canada, 50% for Brazil, 20% for Taiwan and 39% for Switzerland, according to a presidential executive order. A U.S. delegation is expected to visit New Delhi later this month, the government source said. 'We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to and are confident that the relationship will continue to move forward,' India's foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday. Trade talks between Washington and New Delhi have been bogged down by issues including access to India's highly protected agriculture and dairy sector. Nearly $40 billion worth of exports from the South Asian nation - the world's fifth largest economy - could be impacted by Trump's tariff salvo, according to the source. Bangladesh secures 20% US tariff for garments, exporters relieved Without a deal, the rate singles out India for harsher trade conditions than its major peers, potentially damaging the economy of a strategic U.S. partner in Asia that is seen as a counterbalance to Chinese influence. The source said there is no question of compromising on India's agriculture and dairy sectors, especially not allowing import of dairy products due to religiously based opposition to animal feed in these products. On Wednesday, Trump also threatened additional penalties on India for its commercial dealings with Russia and membership in the BRICS group of major emerging and developing economies. There is no clarity yet on the penalty. Trump accuses BRICS of pursuing 'anti-American policies'. Differences between the U.S. and India cannot be resolved overnight to arrive at a trade deal, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday. The U.S. has a trade deficit of $46 billion with India.

US copper stabilises to retain a premium over global benchmark
LONDON: US copper prices stabilized on Friday after the biggest one-day decline on record the previous day as the market continued to assess a surprise move by US President Donald Trump to exclude refined metal from 50% import tariffs. US September Comex copper futures rose 1.1% to $4.4015 per lb, or $9,703.70 a metric ton, by 1006 GMT after plunging by 22% on Thursday. Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange added 0.1% to $9,616 a ton. Price pressure was applied by rising stocks in LME-registered warehouses and expectations of more inflows from massive inventories in the U.S. after Washington excluded refined copper from its import tariffs. Copper stocks in Comex-owned warehouses are at a 21-year high of 257,915 short tons (233,977 metric tons) after 176% growth over the March-July period. Available LME stocks, meanwhile, more than doubled in July and are at a three-month high of 127,475 metric tons. US copper tumbles on tariff news, LME erodes on tepid demand Limiting the prospect of massive outflows from U.S. stocks in the short term is the Comex copper futures premium over the LME price, even with this week's price falls. 'Comex copper's premium is now only a few hundred dollars, which is still huge historically but nothing compared to the recent $3,000 premium,' one metals trader said. Adding another layer of pressure on the metal used extensively in power and construction was a private-sector survey showing a drop in Chinese factory activity in July. China, the world's top metals consumer, is facing an August 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with Trump's administration. Trump imposed steep tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan, ahead of Friday's trade deal deadline. Among other LME metals, aluminium fell 0.5% to $2,552 a ton, zinc lost 1.4% to $2,723, lead eased by 0.2% to $1,965.50 while tin rose 1.1% to $32,970 and nickel retreated 0.5% to $14,855.
