Trump's Tariff And Penalty Shock Sends GIFT Nifty Tumbling Below 24,700
Last Updated: Indian benchmark indices are expected to open lower on Thursday, July 31, in reaction to the tariff announcement GIFT Nifty fell sharply on Wednesday, dropping 0.70% or 174 points to 24,680, after former US President Donald Trump announced a fresh 25% tariff along with an unspecified penalty on India. The move, linked to India's continued trade ties with Russia, reignited concerns over global protectionism and weighed on market sentiment. Trump made the announcement via his Truth Social account, stating that the tariff and penalty would take effect from August 1. He accused India of maintaining high tariffs and non-monetary trade barriers, even as he described the country as a 'friend" of the United States. 'While India is our friend, we have done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the world," Trump wrote. 'They also have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country." The former US President claimed the new trade penalties were a response to India's large-scale imports of military equipment and energy from Russia. However, he did not clarify the quantum of the penalty beyond the 25% tariff. Indian benchmark indices are expected to open lower on Thursday, July 31, in reaction to the tariff announcement. Export-oriented sectors such as IT, textiles, and engineering may see heightened pressure, analysts said. On Tuesday, July 30, equity markets ended flat despite early gains. The BSE Sensex rose 144 points, or 0.18%, to close at 81,482, while the NSE Nifty50 gained 34 points, or 0.14%, to finish at 24,855. However, concerns around the delayed India-US trade deal and now fresh tariff headwinds are expected to weigh on investor sentiment going forward. Adding to the pressure, the Indian rupee weakened to a four-month low amid fears of a slowdown in exports following the US action. Impact on Economy Could Be Modest, Say Analysts Bhavik Joshi, Business Head at INVasset PMS, said Trump's tariff move has revived concerns around global protectionism just as markets were beginning to stabilize post-slowdown. 'A tariff of this magnitude poses risks, but its macroeconomic dent is likely to be contained," Joshi noted. Preliminary estimates suggest India could suffer a GDP loss of $3–8 billion due to the tariffs. However, that could be offset by $10–15 billion in potential gains from trade realignment and supply chain diversification. 'Markets may reprice risk temporarily, but structurally, India is better positioned than most to absorb and pivot," Joshi said. 'The focus now shifts to execution—on supply chain reconfiguration, INR trade acceleration, and bilateral trade deals. Amid the noise, India's fundamentals remain the clearest signal." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Indices advance ahead of Fed verdict; L&T spurts 4.8%
The headline equity benchmarks closed with modest gains today, aided by strong Q1 earnings from Larsen & Toubro (L&T). However, overall sentiment stayed cautious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy outcome due later tonight. Investors also kept a close watch on progress in the India-U.S. trade discussions. The Nifty ended above the 24,850 level, supported by buying in IT, FMCG, and consumer durables stocks. The S&P BSE Sensex advanced 143.91 points or 0.18% to 81,481.86. The Nifty 50 index added 33.95 points or 0.14% to 24,855.05. Larsen & Toubro (up 4.87%), Bharti Airtel (up 0.87%) and HDFC Bank (up 0.16%) boosted the Nifty higher today. In the broader market, the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index added 0.17% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index rose 0.17%. The market breadth was positive. On the BSE, 2,030 shares rose and 1,968 shares fell. A total of 160 shares were unchanged. The NSE's India VIX, a gauge of the market's expectation of volatility over the near term, slipped 2.77% to 11.21. Economy: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded India's economic growth estimate to 6.4% in both 2025-26 and 2026-27 as compared to what it had predicted in April. The growth upgrade, of 0.2 percentage points and 0.1 percentage points, respectively, is in line with the upgrades for global growth. The upward revision is primarily due to the suspension of higher tariffs, strong consumption growth, and a steady push for public investment. Inflation projections are also revised down to 3.7% in 2025 and 4% in 2026, thanks to easing food prices. Numbers to Track: The yield on India's 10-year benchmark federal paper shed 0.02% to 6.368 from the previous close of 6.369. In the foreign exchange market, the rupee edged lower against the dollar. The partially convertible rupee was hovering at 87.4350 compared with its close of 86.9100 during the previous trading session. MCX Gold futures for 5 August 2025 settlement rose 0.43% to Rs 98,680. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the greenback's value against a basket of currencies, was down 0.03% to 98.89. The United States 10-year bond yield declined 0.05% to 4.333. In the commodities market, Brent crude for September 2025 settlement lost 56 cents or 0.77% to $71.95 a barrel. Global Markets: Most European indices rose on Wednesday as investors assessed a fresh wave of corporate earnings while awaiting key regional growth data and the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserves policy meeting. Most Asian shares ended lower, led by declines in Japan and Hong Kong, as investors turned cautious ahead of the approaching U.S. tariff deadline and braced for key central bank decisions from the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve. As U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline to strike a deal and avoid the Liberation Day tariffs approaches, trade negotiations with some countries appear likely to continue until the last possible moment before the August 1 cutoff date. The U.S. Commerce Secretary was quoted by the media saying that President Donald Trumps upcoming Friday deadline to impose major tariffs on a slew of trading partners will not be delayed further. However, the trade negotiations with China are progressing on a separate timeline, the report added. The US Federal Reserve is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its policy meeting later on Wednesday, though it could see a rare dissent by some central bank officials in favour of lower borrowing costs. Crude prices rose sharply earlier this week as the U.S. threatened to sanction major buyers of Russian oil, to pressure Moscow into ending its conflict with Ukraine. Signs of progress in U.S. trade relations, after a deal was struck with the European Union, also aided oil markets. However, oil's rally saw some profit booking emerge steam after industry data revealed an unexpected rise in U.S. crude inventories. Data from the American Petroleum Institute, released on Tuesday evening, showed U.S. oil inventories grew about 1.5 million barrels (mb) in the week to July 25. This build contrasted the widely reported market expectations for a 2.5 mb draw, and also marked a reversal from a small draw in the prior week. Stocks on Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday, as investors turn their attention to the Federal Reserves interest rate decision. The S&P 500 slipped 0.30% to close at 6,370.86, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.38% to 21,098.29. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 204.57 points, or 0.46%, to finish the session at 44,632.99. New Listing: Shares of GNG Electronics settled at Rs 333.50 on the BSE, representing a premium of 40.72% compared with the issue price of Rs 237. The scrip was listed at Rs 350, exhibiting a premium of 47.67% to the issue price. The stock has hit a high of 364 and a low of 325.35.
