Trump Responds to Tariff Backlash
President Trump has started to address the negative effects of his tariffs on foreign goods.
Many Americans think tariffs have made prices go up, and Trump wants to give people money to help with this.
He has also lowered tariffs on some items like beef and coffee.
In India, exports to the US have dropped a lot, but the market is still doing well.
The Supreme Court will soon decide if Trump's tariffs are legal, which could mean the government has to give back a lot of money.
Trump is also worried about losing support from his voters and is trying to do things to keep their support.
This might not affect the stock market right now, but it could be important for next year's elections.
Trump has started responding to the negative impact of his tariffs, with 73% of Americans saying prices have increased.
The US Supreme Court will rule on the legality of Trump's tariffs, potentially leading to a $100 billion refund bill.
Trump proposed a $2,000 dividend for Americans earning less than $100,000 to offset price hikes, costing an estimated $450 billion.
Indian exports to the US have dropped 40% since May 2025, significantly affecting sectors like textiles.
India's stock market has performed well, but valuations are above long-term norms, with risk-reward favoring large caps.
