Indian stock markets opened under pressure due to the US President Donald Trump‘s announcement of 25% flat tariffs on US auto imports effective April 2nd 2025.
Trump announced to impose 25% tariff on US auto imports. The new levy marks a significant escalation in the president’s trade war. The most impacted countries are Canada, Mexico, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. Experts stated that Indian markets will face volatility today due to trade disruptions caused by these tariffs and the volatility in the other major markets.
However, a statement by Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) read that the recent decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose a 25% tariff on fully built vehicles (CBUs) and auto parts is expected to have little impact on India’s automobile industry.
The body stated that the tariff, set to take effect on April 3, has raised concerns among global car manufacturers, but India’s limited exposure to the U.S. auto market suggests that the impact will be minimal.
Share Market: What Experts Said?
Ajay Bagga Banking and Market Expert stated, “25% US Auto tariffs are the raging issue this morning. US automaker stocks are down in post trading hours by 2% to 6%. Japanese and South Korean automakers are down this morning in Asian trading by a similar 2% to 4%. Broader markets are digesting this news and the impending announcements of reciprocal global tariffs on April 2nd as well as sectoral tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors.”
“Indian markets will face the global disruption volatility as well as the domestic monthly expiry related volatility today. Given the impending April 2nd announcements, markets will remain on edge. Caution continues,” he further added.
