Trump tariffs unleash chaos! Is cash king as uncertainty in Indian stock market heightens?
Trump tariffs on India: From 25% to 50% — the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump have doubled in just one week, leaving investors worried and confused. With no resolution in sight to an India-US trade deal, and neither side ready to budge, the question remains: Should investors pivot to cash until clarity emerges? Trump's erratic trade policies have put investors on edge. Analysts see a limited impact on the economy and sector-specific drawdowns, instead of the entire market-wide selloff. Goldman Sachs had previously estimated a potential direct impact of around 0.3 percentage points (annualised) on India's real GDP growth, following Trump's surprise announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian imports. Now, if the new additional duty (including exclusions) is enforced, it would constitute a potential incremental drag of around another 0.3pp, the brokerage added. The Indian stock market reacted to the additional Trump tariffs with a 0.6% decline. Sensex shed over 500 points while Nifty briefly dipped below 24,400. Explaining the rationale behind Trump tariffs, Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Research at Ventura Securities, said everything Trump tariffs are a double-edged sword. One, they want to make Russia irrelevant — geopolitically, they want a grip on everything. "And now, they're trying to do something similar with India and China." "The second reason is that their economy is a complete mess. Other than cutting back on spending, they really have no other option," Bolinjakr said. These tariffs, he explains, slow down domestic consumption (because buying goods at a 20% premium is tough) and pressure global exporters at the same time. "If the US were to scale back its debt without imposing external pressure, consumption would fall — but other countries would keep growing and making profits. By imposing tariffs, they try to force a slowdown everywhere else too." Their idea is to make the US economy look relatively better by weakening others, he added. Indian mutual funds have already been sitting on a vast amount of cash holdings. While the figure declined substantially in the month of June, a significant portion of this capital was deployed into primary market issuances, raising questions about whether institutional investors see fewer compelling opportunities in the secondary market, and if retail investors should take a cue. Bolinjkar said that keeping all this uncertainty in mind, I believe it's best to stay away from the markets for now. We might see a short-term relief rally next week — but that should be used to pair positions, reshuffle portfolios, not to add more, he advised. "This is not the time to buy more. If you're holding, fine, don't book unnecessary losses. But if you've got loss-making positions, consider taking them for carry-forward loss. Restructure your portfolio for strength — but without putting new money to work. It's definitely not a time to average," he said. Similarly, Om Ghawalkar, Market Analyst, also said that holding a higher cash allocation does make sense while we wait for more clarity on trade policy, but remember that thoughtful stock selection remains essential. "Rising trade tensions often fuel risk-off moves, particularly in export-heavy sectors and stocks with substantial international exposure. In such environments, holding higher cash levels is seen as a defensive strategy to preserve capital and maintain tactical flexibility. This cash-heavy posture allows investors to seize opportunities as clarity emerges quickly," Ghawalkar added. He, however, advised against steering clear of equities completely. Instead, concentrate on specific areas of the market, such as domestic defensives or high-quality large-caps, he opined. Meanwhile, G Chokalingham, Founder, Equinomics Research, believes that investors can continue to remain in domestic-focused sectors for now, and consider moving to cash positions only if the service sector is disrupted. "IT service export is about $140 billion to the US. So, if there is any attempt to disrupt that through some restrictions, then one has to be concerned about the whole market," Chokalingham added.

Housing price index of 13 cities rises 8 points annually in March: Report
The housing price index of 13 major cities rose by eight points year-on-year to 132 during March this year on strong demand for residential properties, according to a report by REA India and Indian School of Business. The Housing Price Index (HPI), a joint initiative between REA India's real estate classified platform and the Indian School of Business (ISB), tracks price trends across 13 cities. These are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Faridabad, Gandhinagar, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida, and Pune. The index shows a moderate 8-point increase to 132 in March this year, as against 124 in the same month last year. However, the index remained stagnant compared to February this year. In January 2025, the index was at 131 points. "The Indian housing market is currently in a phase of healthy consolidation. After an extended period of price escalation across major cities, we are now seeing a welcome stabilisation in values. This price stagnation, while reflective of cautious market sentiment and supply-side adjustments, is also laying the foundation for more sustainable growth," said Praveen Sharma, CEO, REA India ( He expected the trend to continue in the near term, which could encourage more end-users to return to the market. "At the same time, with improving affordability due to recent rate cuts and strong underlying demand drivers such as income growth and lifestyle aspirations, we remain optimistic about the long-term resilience of the housing sector," Sharma said. Shekhar Tomar, Assistant Professor of Economics and Public Policy at ISB, noted that price stability points to a more mature and balanced housing market. The report noted that the price stabilisation in early 2025 reflects an interplay of global headwinds, cautious buyer sentiment, and reduced launches.
