«The whole purpose of creating this chaos seems to be to deliberately weaken the dollar. Gold has been pricing this in for a while now, and it’s already extremely expensive—so don’t read too much into gold’s move yesterday,» says Maneesh Dangi, Macro Mosaic Investing. World moves in a pattern, which is that if there is problem of growth, then gold goes up. If there is problem of inflation, gold goes up. If there is a fear of recession, then equities go down. Last night, everything went down, gold, silver, Bitcoin. Why have we seen such a massive synchronised sell off last night at least in US markets? So, if uncertainty increases in general, the typical reflex you talked about does occur. However, we are in uncharted territory. It has never happened before that a country like the US is behaving the way it currently is. The whole purpose of creating this chaos seems to be to deliberately weaken the dollar. Gold has been pricing this in for a while now, and it’s already extremely expensive—so don’t read too much into gold’s move yesterday.

Ramesh Damani, Member, BSE, says like Lyndon Johnson on Vietnam, Donald Trump will just declare victory in the next couple of weeks and then change all the policies that he has introduced, saying that, oh, my policies have been achieved, everyone has come to the negotiating table, everyone is scared of America. He will declare victory because he will never admit loss. He will declare victory and the rest of the world will move back to the regime we were in. How should the world look at the tariff announcements by the US administration? Old school economists are saying that this is against the classic economic theory. This means inflation comes back, de-globalisation starts, and that is going to lead to serious contraction in the US economy. Ramesh Damani: There is a movie out now called The Emergency, and I remember that as a young student in 1975, the then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi imposed the emergency.

Dhoom Machale—the high-energy Bollywood anthem synonymous with thrilling chases and grand heists—playing in the presence of British royalty sounds almost too surreal to be true. But at this year’s Commonwealth Day ceremony at Westminster Abbey, that’s exactly what happened. As King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived for the annual event, the distinctive notes of Dhoom Machale filled the air, played by the Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band—a Hindu Scottish ensemble known for blending traditional bagpipes with Indian musical influences. The unusual yet electrifying fusion stunned onlookers, and when a video of the moment surfaced online, it sent Indian social media into a frenzy. Many joked that this was Hrithik Roshan’s latest disguise, referencing his royal impersonation in Dhoom 2, while others saw it as poetic justice—Bollywood’s way of reclaiming cultural ground in the land of its former colonizers. Beyond the humor, however, the performance symbolized something deeper: the ever-growing cultural footprint of Indian music in spaces once considered exclusively Western.

Rupen Rajguru, MD, Senior Advisor, Julius Baer, says we are seeing a classic bottoming of the market and recovery will be slow, and not as significant and fast as we have seen in the previous cycle. But probably the market looks into the rate of change and at the margin, FY26 is going to be significantly better from an earnings perspective vis-a-vis FY25. What is your take on the overall market sentiment because in 2025 there has been a change in the narrative on how you look at the emerging markets, especially India. March has been quite a volatile month for us though we are cheering the recovery from the lowest level but the harsh reality is that among the SMIDs, there are pockets where we might not see the stocks recovering back to those 2024 highs. Is it the time to deploy more or rather be selective? Rupen Rajguru: Purely from a market perspective, in the very short to near terms, sentiment and liquidity determines the market momentum and both of these change very fast. Probably on March 4th, we were the worst as far as the sentiment and liquidity was concerned. So, while liquidity has not changed, but definitely in the last two weeks or so, sentiment has changed.
