With the US election results just around the corner, stock markets globally are experiencing volatility. Analysts have different opinions on whether a Trump or Harris win would be beneficial for India. While Nomura India sees Harris as net-positive, Emkay Global believes a Republican sweep would be good for India in terms of FPI positioning but the rally may not last. In terms of sectors, JM Financial predicts a rate cut by RBI in case of a Democrat win, which would benefit NBFCs, while a stronger dollar due to a Republican win could lead to a tighter interest rate regime in India.
US Election: Impact on Global Stock Markets and India
With the highly anticipated US election just around the corner, global stock markets are experiencing volatility. The outcome has significant implications for investors and the economy, particularly in India. Here's an in-depth analysis:
Market Volatility
The impending election has created uncertainty in the markets, leading to volatility. Investors are speculating on the potential impact of a Trump or Biden victory and how it will affect economic policies, trade deals, and global relations. This uncertainty has caused swings in stock prices and increased market volatility.
Expert Opinions
Analysts have varying views on the implications of a Trump or Biden win for India. Nomura India believes a Biden presidency could be net-positive for India due to his focus on climate change, which could benefit sectors such as renewable energy and electric vehicles. Emkay Global, on the other hand, suggests that a Republican sweep could be beneficial for India in terms of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) positioning, but the rally may not be sustainable.
Sector Projections
JM Financial predicts that a Democrat win could lead to a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which would benefit non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). Conversely, a Republican win could result in a stronger dollar, potentially leading to a tighter interest rate regime in India. This could adversely affect interest rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate and infrastructure.
