What impact does the 50% tariff on Indian imports have on US and global markets?
A 50% tariff slapped on India unless it stops buying oil from Russia. That's the big news today. Whilst Europe is playing nicely with Mr. Trump. Removing tariffs on most US industrial goods, quick smart, like within the week. We'll also look at why Australia's inflation numbers were higher than expected yesterday. And Nvidia, their earnings, perhaps the biggest number of the week. We'll look at those numbers as well. It's Thursday, it's the 28th of August, 2022. It's the morning call from Nab. Good morning. Well, US stocks were jocking for position a little bit ahead of the NVIDIA earnings. So the trading day finished with the Dow up 0.3% at the close, uh up a quarter percent for the SP, and the Nasdaq just 0.2% higher.
In Europe, the Eurostox 50 finished up almost 0.2%. The FTSE was down 0.1%, the DAX down over 0.4%, but the Cat Carant up over 0.4%. And 10 years Treasuries they moved down two basis points to 4.24%, down two basis points in Germany as well, up two basis points for France. Aussie 10-year yields yesterday were up at 4.32%, only one basis point higher than that now on futures this morning. And the US dollar has been up and down, but it's pretty much where it was a day ago. Against that, well, the Aussie is up a quarter percent to 65.1 US cents, the euro is down 0.1%, the pound is Is up naught point one percent, so no big deal really on in terms of currency moves.
How is the new India tariff affecting Indian exporters and prompting US importers to look elsewhere?
But oil is higher, one and a half percent for WTI, one and a quarter percent for Brent, which is up over sixty-eight a barrel now. And NABS Sally Old joins me today. So Sally, I've been looking for you know, some sort of market moves for India, but I can't really see them, despite the news that President Trump is imposing a fifty percent tariff now on more than half Half of the goods shipped from India, like textiles and jewelry, electronics and pharmaceuticals are exempt at the moment. Uh and uh yeah, they apply unless they stop buying Russian oil. It's happening.
Yeah, that's right. Good morning, Phil. So this is causing a fair bit of consternation in in India, um, because the tariff was initially at twenty five percent and as you said, that's been lifted to fifty percent. uh because uh, you know, Trump wants to I guess squeeze India a little bit in terms of its purchases of Russian oil. Um but the US is India's biggest export destination. I think about twenty percent of their merchandise exports go there. Uh and with that fifty percent tariff I think there's a a really strong sense that uh India is is basically no longer competitive, uh and importers in the US are now starting to turn to uh other countries um to to get um, you know, substitute goods. So I think this is causing uh a fair bit of pain domestically for the the government in in India as exporters are now really starting to to feel that pinch.
So Um they have, you know, started to put some measures in place like low interest loans and and the like. But um You know, one thinks this is gonna be reasonably tricky for India to navigate. They like that strategic autonomy where they they sort of straddle uh both sides of the fence. So I guess uh you know, we'll wait and see what happens, but definitely a fifty percent tariff is is causing some pain. Well
they could stop buying Russian oil of course. I'm wondering whether that's the w why the the oil price is up a bit, although the o oil has been up and down a quite bit lately, hasn't it? But I mean I wonder is is that lifting all could could we say that's part of the reason why oil is up today?
Possibly, possibly. Um, you know, I think it's like I said, I think it's gonna be tricky for India to navigate this one because they, you know, they have like to play, you know, both sides of the field. So um I guess if they stop buying Russian oil, that's gonna be a pretty clear signal um that, you know, the leverage that Trump likes in these tariffs uh actually works. Um so yeah, I think it's gonna be uh an interesting one to watch.
So be afraid, be very afraid. And obviously electronics are exempt because well, Apple have been building factories there, presumably.
