US-India Trade Tensions Impact Markets
The US and India are having trouble agreeing on a trade deal, which is making the stock market in India very nervous.
The US President, Donald Trump, has said he might raise taxes on Indian goods if India keeps buying oil from Russia.
This has made big companies like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank lose value.
The stock market is waiting for a clear answer about what will happen with these taxes, but until then, it's not doing very well.
Experts say that if this problem isn't fixed, it could hurt India's ability to sell things to other countries in the future.
Delayed US-India trade deal causing market uncertainty.
Trump threatens higher tariffs on India for Russian oil purchases.
Indian stock market shows flat returns and range-bound trading.
Key stocks like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank experience significant losses.
Ongoing discussions with no finalized trade deal.
