markets UPS economy Align Trade reports India's GDP growth to surpass 6.5% in FY26, driven by Sitharaman's tax cuts: Moody’s

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is projected to exceed 6.5% in the fiscal year ending March 2026, said Moody’s Ratings in its latest Banking System Outlook – India report, released on Wednesday. The agency attributed this growth to increased government capital expenditure, tax cuts, and interest rate reductions. Moody’s report highlighted that India’s economy is set to recover from a cyclical slowdown. The Union Budget 2025-26, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, introduced significant tax relief under the new tax regime, exempting income up to Rs 12 lakh from taxation. The measures are expected to boost consumption and contribute to overall economic expansion. “India’s economic growth will pick up from a cyclical slowdown,” the report noted. Government spending and monetary easing are anticipated to support GDP growth, with Moody’s forecasting real GDP expansion of over 6.5% in FY26, up from 6.3% in FY25. The finance ministry’s Economic Survey has projected GDP growth in the 6.3%-6.8% range for the next fiscal, while official estimates indicate 6.5% growth for the current year.

«If we do make a higher low than the low that we made last time and then manage to move up from there, that would be a very-very positive sign for the overall market,» says Rohit Srivastava, Founder, Strike Money Analytics & Indiacharts. Yes, we just tend to get happy too soon, too quick when you look at the markets, a mild bit of rebound, and you are really pretty enthused and kicked about it thinking that maybe things are actually turning for better. Once again, a down day now. Rohit Srivastava: I do think things are turning for better. If you look at the last two-three days of price action in India and across Asia, what you will really witness is that most of the markets are resilient in the face of US-based news flow and volatility, which is partly because a lot of the selling in India and Asia was already going on since the month of October. In some parts of the world, even since June and July. So, many of the markets had already corrected. The US stock market is the last one to correct. Whatever the reasons may be, but if we just put it in the broader light of what has been happening, if there was a correction overdue in the world, it happened in other world markets first and it is happening in the US last and so that is why you are not seeing such a big impact of the US volatility now.

Reuters Tesla Election performer country reports Vandalism, weak sales hit Tesla in Australia and New Zealand

SYDNEY: When Australian Dick Friend bought a Tesla in 2015, he was so impressed with its environmental credentials and performance that he and his wife bought two more of the electric vehicles, plus shares in the Elon Musk-led company. Now, however, he is selling his Tesla stock and will not replace one of his cars, wrecked in an accident last year, citing his objections to Musk's right-wing tilt and his growing role in the administration of Donald Trump. «The cars are brilliant, but we don't like the direction of the owner and we're voting with our feet,» said Friend, who splits time between homes in Hobart and Melbourne. Tesla sales in the four months since Trump's election were down 35% compared with the same time last year, according to data from Australia's Electric Vehicle Council, with a spate of vandalism in Australia and New Zealand over the last week also adding to evidence of contagion from Musk's role in the Trump administration.
