#25 For 2025: What does ‘America First’ imply for India’s trade and security concerns?
America First policies emphasise local production, reducing reliance on imports and imposing tariffs on foreign goods. Trump fired a warning shot at India recently. “If they tax us, we tax them the same amount… The word reciprocal is important because if somebody charges us… if India charges us 100%, do we charge them nothing for the same?”

Market is always fairly valued; low-double digit market return can be expected in 2025: Prashant Khemka
Prashant Khemka, Founder, White Oak Capital Management, says he believes that the market cannot be predicted, and it should always be viewed at fair value. It is always at fair value. If it drops 20% tomorrow, that is still fair value based on all the corporate news. Similarly, if it rises, it remains fair value. During COVID, when the market fell by 30%, it was fair value at that time, and when it bounced back by 30%, 40%, 50%, or more, it was still fair value because the market is always changing. In the context of India, a fairly valued market suggests it will provide low-double digit returns over the next year.
