There is every possibility that the decision will go against Trump. But the details are important: that is, whether it will be a partial reduction in tariffs or outlawing the tariffs altogether. Market reaction will depend on the details. If the Supreme Court declares Trump’s tariffs illegal, there will be a rally in India because India has been most affected by the 50% tariff. “The sharp decline in the market this week has also affected those stocks which will not be affected by any drastic action by Trump. Segments like financials, consumer discretionary and industrials which have corrected due to the overall weakness of the market can now be accumulated for long term investments.”US stocks closed with a mixed trend overnight. Technology stocks including Nvidia came under selling pressure, while defense stocks rose after President Donald Trump called for a higher military budget of $1.5 trillion.Asian markets opened modestly higher on Friday, recovering from two days of decline, as investors kept themselves ahead of US non-farm payrolls data and awaited a possible Supreme Court decision related to President Donald Trump’s tariff measures.Investor inflows reflected caution, with foreign portfolio investors selling equities worth Rs 3,367 crore on Thursday, according to provisional data. However, domestic institutional investors provided support by buying shares worth Rs 3,701 crore.(Disclaimer: The recommendations and views given by experts on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management are their own.
