India is not a major exporter of metals to the US, but any global price shift would surely impact the domestic pricing also, said Naveen Mathur, Director-Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers. We may see a glut with respect to the oversupply, he opined highlighting that the other countries may start dumping the goods into India. Edited excerpts: Do you see a significant impact on global metal prices once the Trump tariffs come into force and while India is not a major metal exporter to the US, will it have a trickle-down effect on the domestic industry? As we all know, post Mr Trump's inauguration in mid of January, the markets have been pretty volatile largely because of the policies, the global uncertainties with respect to tariffs. The tariffs would definitely push up the metal prices in the US due to restricted imports. While the excess supply in the global markets, particularly China and the EU, may cause price fluctuations, India would definitely have an indirect impact or I should say it is a mix of direct and indirect impact.

Geoff Dennis, Independent Emerging Markets Commentator, says even if the dollar gains strength again, it won't rise significantly enough to heavily impact the rupee. A strong rebound in the dollar would mainly affect currencies that have already increased a lot, such as the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso. Therefore, I would cautiously and gradually look to rebuild my positions in India, while remaining skeptical as an emerging market investor about the situation in China. Today is one of those rare days where we have not had any commentary coming in from Trump this morning with regards to tariffs. But how should one actually brace themselves, given the fact that every day you have a new addition to the tariff list? Geoff Dennis: Well, there is a lot of uncertainty about tariffs. There is a lot of uncertainty as to what we get with tariffs and when and who will be impacted by it. But at the moment, there is not a lot in the way of a new narrative. If you look at what the markets are doing with bond yields having pulled back in the US from 4.8 to 4.5 for 10 years, the dollar being weaker on the year, particularly since the middle of January, it looks to me that the peak of the Trump trade has passed. We have seen some profit taking, some rotation.
