Pankaj Pandey, Head Research, ICICIdirect.com, says a small rally was anticipated, but due to ongoing volatility, there isn't much confidence for a short-covering rally. It may take about a month to gain clarity on tariffs since Trump has paused new tariff actions. Also some tariffs may be imposed on the steel industry. Many of these issues are still developing. However, two sectors in commodities appeal to Pandey. First is cement, where the toughest times seem to be over. The second sector is steel, which is currently at a four-year low. This month, we might hear updates on safeguard duties, which could benefit some steel companies. In auto, while ICICIDirect likes Bajaj Auto, and Eicher and has upgraded Maruti to a buy, M&M is the top pick in this space. What is it looking like so far? We have made two weeks of recovery. Will it sustain? Pankaj Pandey: Overall, the volatility on the global front could persist for some period of time and which is why not much relief is expected on FPI selling. Domestically, earnings have been okay and not really great, but our sense is that in the first half, we have seen earnings of 5%. In the second half, ideally, it should be better at about 8-odd percent. So, full year, we could have about 7% growth.

Voluntary export controls by trading partners improve their competitiveness. Fair trade restrictions do not restore the cost advantage for local employment. Even if some form of protectionism can be defended in theory, it is typically captured by interests narrower than national welfare, leading to rent-seeking. The US has tried these approaches since the 1950s and has not been able to make much headway in arresting its trade deficit with the rest of the world. With every passing decade, the target of US protectionism changes: Opec, Japan, China — now it's the turn of India, Brazil and Canada.
