UP goes the worries DOWN goes the rating

It was certainly news when SnP downgraded the Rating of the US from AAA to AA+. Something symbolic like the USA losing its A. What is to be observed next is to see the effect of it on the other economies, especially the growing economies. India, among them, is already showing its reaction (-vely) since Friday. Sensex has plunged for 2 consecutive days.

There is a selling pressure from the Institutional Investors or the FIIs, which is creating panic. But it's better to hold on to the cliff and let the wind of uncertainty pass. In simpler terms, I am going to HOLD ON to my portfolio and will not give in to the selling pressure. I would advise others to do the same.

What I feel personally is that these are just the bubble effect, which is going to subsidize very soon. The Indian economy is strong enough and self-reliant to absorb the shock that is happening around the globe at the moment.

I've returned to the blogging desk.

After a long break of 12 years, I'm back to blogging! So much has happened in my life during this time. I got married and became a father, which has been an amazing and transformative experience. But there have also been some sad moments, like losing my own father.  These life events have changed me and given me a new perspective. I'm not the same person I was 12 years ago, and my writing will reflect that. I hope you'll come along with me on this fresh journey as I explore the world through my new lens. My keyboard is ready, and I can't wait to share this exciting chapter with you.

I’m talking about the sudden threats, back-and-forth on import taxes, and how these global power games are shaking up the stock markets worldwide . Former US President Donald Trump , who still knows how to dominate headlines better than Netflix originals, is once again playing hardball with the world. His comments and threats about increasing tariffs, punishing China, or renegotiating trade deals have not just raised eyebrows, but have  rattled markets from Wall Street to Dalal Street. Is this all just a coincidence? Or a planned move to manipulate the stock market? Let’s unpack this drama a bit and see what’s behind the noise. Pros (If you look at it from their side): 🟢 These tariff threats create fear and confusion in the market , which can lead to panic selling or sudden buying. 🟢 Big investors, hedge funds, and insiders often benefit ...
