Trump’s tariffs are a blessing in disguise for India. Here’s why –

1) Crude down 30% from the highs, leads to lower import bill, less dollar outflow > rupee as a currency will be stronger 

2) Consumption in America will fall, with rising inflation potentially could lead to stagflation (stagnant economy with inflation) > which means US equity will underperform, lower consumption would mean lower $ flow in the system, leading to dollar weakening > the precise reason why FIIs were exiting India is practically reversed. This is BIG. 

3) China, Vietnam, Indonesia slapped with much high tariffs as compared to India. Making India the perfect choice for China +1 manufacturing hub, our exporters still have an upper hand against other companies. 

Short term pain = long term gain
