Market Reaction to US Tariff Ruling

The Indian rupee rose about 0.8% against the dollar after the US tariff decision, signalling cautious relief. DBS Bank notes the gain reflects reduced uncertainty rather than outright optimism. Traders are watching implementation details closely, keeping sentiment measured.

Historical Trade Context

Bilateral trade has grown from $20 billion in 2000 to over $150 billion today, with past policy shifts producing mixed INR effects. Earlier tariffs on steel, aluminum and other sectors caused sharp depreciations, teaching investors to temper reactions. Consistent policy is seen as key to sustaining currency strength.

Sectoral and Economic Implications

Technology, pharmaceutical and select agricultural exports are expected to benefit most from clearer trade rules. Manufacturing groups such as auto components and textiles also anticipate improved market access. However, industry bodies stress careful rollout to avoid disruption.

Implementation Monitoring and Outlook

The ruling outlines a 90‑day adjustment phase, quarterly reviews and dispute‑resolution mechanisms. DBS analysts will track these milestones to refine currency and hedging strategies. While immediate relief is modest, successful execution could modestly improve India’s trade balance and attract portfolio inflows.
