Pharmaceuticals and banking sectors are top sectoral picks amid Trump-tariff fueled uncertainty according to Vikas Khemani, founder of Carnelian Asset Management and Advisors.
Khemani believes pharma companies will remain resilient and pharmaceutical manufacturing companies (CDMO) won't be impacted by tariffs due to their primarily domestic operations.
The banking sector is expected to be unaffected by the global tariff war, given its largely domestic domain and strong asset quality.
India's lower tariffs compared to other Asian countries and its labor cost advantage position the country well to navigate through the volatility.
