US trade uncertainties to hurt business confidence, growth in Asia: Moody's

Uncertainties around the US trade policy will undermine business confidence and consumer sentiment, adversely impacting growth in Asian nations, including India, Moody's Ratings said on Sunday. US President Donald Trump has postponed by three months the imposition of reciprocal tariffs, with the exception of China on whom a 125 per cent tariff has been slapped. However, a 10 per cent additional duty on exports to the US will continue. "An escalation of US-Sino tensions and the spillover effects from a slowdown in China pose significant downside risks to the (Asian) region's growth prospects. Economies with large domestic markets, such as India, may benefit from companies seeking access to these markets but any major shift in investment flows would occur over several years," Moody's Ratings Senior Vice President, Credit Strategy & Guidance, Nicky Dang told PTI. Moody's Analytics, another Moody's firm, had last week cut India's growth forecast for the 2025 calendar year to 6.1 per ..

US curbs on Chinese goods open export window for Indian e-sellers: GTRI

The US tightening of low-value e-commerce shipments from China has opened up huge opportunities for Indian online exporters, as they can fill the gap if the red tape is eased and the government provides timely support, think tank GTRI said on Sunday. With over 1 lakh e-commerce sellers and USD 5 billion in current exports, India is well-positioned to fill the gap left by China particularly in customized, small-batch products like handicraft, fashion, and home goods, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said. From May 2, Chinese and Hong Kong e-commerce shipments under USD 800 to the US will face a steep 120 per cent import duty, ending their duty-free entry. This move is expected to disrupt Chinese supply chains and open the door for other countries. Chinese firms Shein and Temu are major players in the sector. Over 1,400 million low-value packets entered the US in 2024 from the world, with China alone exporting USD 46 billion worth of such goods. "India is well-positioned t

FPIs withdraw Rs 31,575 crore from equities in April on US tariff jitters

Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 31,575 crore from the country's equity markets so far this month, in the wake of turbulence emanating from sweeping tariffs imposed by the US on most nations, including India. This came following a net investment of Rs 30,927 crore in the six trading sessions from March 21 to March 28. This infusion helped reduce the overall outflow for March to Rs 3,973 crore, according to data from the depositories. Compared to previous months, this marks a notable improvement. In February, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) took out Rs 34,574 crore, while in January, the outflow was even higher at Rs 78,027 crore. This shift in investor sentiment highlighted the volatility and evolving dynamics in global financial markets. According to the data, FPIs pulled out Rs 31,575 crore from Indian equities between April 1 and April 11. With this, the total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.48 lakh crore so far in 2025. "The turbulence in global stock markets following

US-China tariff war opens door for India to emerge as global toy export hub

As the US-China tariff war intensifies, the Indian toy industry leaders are calling the situation a "golden opportunity" to position India as a major export hub for toys, especially to the United States, a trade body official said on Sunday. The US recently imposed a steep 145 per cent tariff on toy imports from China a move that could reshape the global toy trade. China, which previously accounted for nearly 77 per cent of US toy imports, is expected to see a significant drop in exports due to the high tariff, opening up space for alternate suppliers, an official said. Akshay Binjrajka, President of the Toy Association of India, told PTI that India is well-positioned to fill the emerging vacuum. "The US toy market, valued at around USD 41.7 billion, offers a massive opportunity for Indian manufacturers," he said, adding that Indian products can now compete with Chinese offerings on both quality and price. India's toy exports have already witnessed a steady rise from USD 40 mill

Tariff war puts China-US trade in peril, businesses weigh next steps

When the first two rounds of 10% tariffs hit, Zou Guoqing, a Chinese exporter, groaned but didn't find the barriers insurmountable. He gave up some of his profits and offered his client, a snow-bike factory in Nebraska, price cuts ranging from 5% to 10%. It seemed to work: The factory agreed to a new order of molds and parts. But when President Donald Trump announced an additional 34% universal tariff on Chinese goods on April 2, Zou, who's been exporting to the U.S. for more than a decade, was incredulous. There's not a thread of feasibility," said Zou, who does business in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo. It looks like I would have no choice but give up trading with the US. Then came 50% more from Trump, followed by another hike pushing the universal tariff on Chinese goods to the sky-high 145%, and Zou said he now could only hope that the two leaders can communicate. We are pausing the shipments," he said, until the leaders talk. The 145% tariff from the United States and th
