🇮🇳 Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳
Wishing everyone freedom, prosperity, and strong portfolios. Today, India is celebrating its 79th year of Independence. India is expecting a lot in the upcoming year. The country will progress which will help #investor in building a strong portfolio. But today is not just important for the nation — it is also a big day for the stock market.

The stock market is closed today to mark the Independence day but the behind the curtain event may bring more surprises to the investor. The main event occuring todays is Trump meeting with Russian President Putin. And here is the twist —
Trump has threatened that if Putin does not agree to his terms, he will increase tariffs on India.
Overall, any further changes in #tariff will bring more burden to Indian eceonomy which might end up shaking the stock market.
Few days ago, Trump says “Indian economy is dead” Yet somehow, Trump Towers keep popping up in India. So… either:
Trump is a terrible businessman investing in a “dead” market
OR
He is a terrible president who doesn’t know what he is talking about.
In both cases… the towers are tall, but the logic is short. 🏢🤷♂️
India → China Fuel Story.
Recently, India sold fuel to China.
Not just any fuel — this came from a refinery that Europe had banned / sanctioned.
Looks like India, Russia, and China are slowly building their own trade circle.
Kind of a "You don’t buy from us? Fine, we will sell to each other" club.
This could be a big step in countering Europe’s influence and also preparing for possible Trump style trade shocks in the future. The global trade game is clearly shifting — and the players are choosing their teams.
In my opinion, Neither India nor Russia will accept Trump’s conditions, who is trying to bullying every economy.
Looking at the different diplomatic scenarios, In the end, Trump may have to back out or let's just say, chicken out. 🐔 In other words India may again get independence from unwanted pressure from US.
As an investor in stock market, expect some short term volatility in the upcoming days.
Stay alert. Stay smart. Markets reward the prepared. 📈
In good faith - Peace!!
