Potential US-India Trade Agreement Key Trigger

The strong demand for textile stocks comes after investors showed increased demand on hopes of trade negotiations between the US and India. It is expected that if an agreement is reached between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the US may reduce the current 50% tariffs on Indian imports to 16%. If this happens, it is likely to benefit textile companies as they were the worst hit when the 50% tariffs were announced. Furthermore, such tariff reductions could boost textile exports from India, positively affecting textile companies.
