Investors loss due to Trump’s policy
The Indian stock market was already under pressure due to heavy selling of foreign investors and weak quarterly results of companies. Meanwhile, the mutual tariff policy declared by US President Donald Trump gave further shock to the market. Under this policy of Trump, the US plans to impose tariffs on countries that impose high tariffs on American companies. According to experts, this policy can cause more harm to India than other Asian countries. This will directly affect the export of Indian companies, which has increased the nervousness among investors.
Big shock to weak companies
