IMPACT OF TARIFF
Impact of Tariffs on the Stock Market:
Short-Term Market Volatility
Markets often react negatively when new tariffs are announced due to fears of trade wars, higher input costs, or lower global demand.
Impact on Specific Sectors
Companies that rely heavily on imports (e.g., auto, electronics) may face increased costs, reducing profit margins.
Export-oriented sectors may suffer if other countries retaliate with tariffs on Indian goods.
Currency Fluctuations
Tariff news can weaken the Indian Rupee if it raises the cost of imports, impacting inflation.
Investor Sentiment
Increased uncertainty due to tariffs can hurt investor confidence, leading to selling pressure in equities.
Beneficiaries
Domestic manufacturers may benefit in the long run as imported products become more expensive.

Conflict has persisted for six days, with Israel claiming to have hit over 1,100 Iranian targets since operations began
Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei refused Trump's demand for “unconditional surrender” and warned U.S. involvement would lead to “irreparable damage” and “all‑out war”
U.S. President Trump has demanded Iran surrender and indicated possible U.S. intervention—moving military assets into the region
UK, Australia, EU, Turkey, Russia, China, and others have either cautioned against escalation, prepared evacuation of nationals, or debated support—heightening the risk of wider regional involvement
