The US self-isolation under President Donald Trump calls for regional trade agreements, according to Macquarie Capital's Sandeep Bhatia.
India is less exposed to global trade flows, so Trump's tariffs will have a less severe impact on India than other Asian export powerhouses.
The US shifting away from being the 'consumer of last resort' will create social and political imbalances around the world.
Trump's tariff action will add inflationary pressure domestically, impacting corporate earnings and margins, and may prompt the Federal Reserve to re-evaluate its interest rate easing cycle.
