Crisil alerts government to watch imports amid US tariff hikes on Chinese goods
==========
Crisil warns of potential import surges following US tariff hikes on Chinese goods, affecting India's trade dynamics. The widening trade deficit prompts vigilance, with a focus on foreign-trade agreements to boost exports. The government needs to monitor imports, especially since the US has announced tariff hikes on Chinese imports, which could potentially lead to some dumping by China in the larger market, including India. The fiscal year started on a good note, with positive growth in merchandise exports in the first quarter. However, the overall export growth eased to 2.6% YoY in June, while merchandise imports grew at a faster pace of 7.7%. This imbalance has resulted in a widened trade deficit of $62.44 billion. The government's increased focus on foreign-trade agreements (FTA) should provide a thrust to exports. The surplus in services trade and robust remittances flow suggests the current account is expected to remain in a safe zone.

Upward march: IMF raises India's GDP growth forecast for FY25 to 7% - The Economic Times
==========
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's GDP growth projection for FY25 to 7% from 6.8% forecasted in April, maintaining the country's fastest-growing economy status. The upgrade reflects improved prospects for private consumption, particularly in rural areas. The IMF also highlights risks related to inflation, currency volatility, and trade tensions, emphasizing the importance of prudent policy decisions and multilateral cooperation. The growth forecast for emerging markets and developing economies is revised to 4.3% from 4.2% earlier. The IMF projects that growth in India and China will account for almost half of global growth in 2024. India's economy grew 8.2% in FY24. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had revised upwards the country's GDP forecast to 7.2% last month. Fitch Ratings also upped India's growth forecast for FY25 to 7.2%. The IMF cautions against the misuse of inward and domestically oriented policies that compromise the ability to tackle global challenges, such as climate change, underscoring the importance of multilateral cooperation and trade.

US market rallying at prospect of Trump victory following shooting incident: Geoff Dennis
==========
Recent political violence in the US has led to market speculations favoring a potential Trump re-election. Analysts anticipate rate cuts and inflation concerns in the coming years. Geoff Dennis, an independent EM commentator, believes that the shooting incident will increase the chances of ex-president Trump winning the election. The market is rallying in equities based on this belief, with investors thinking that Trump's victory would bring potential tax cuts. However, this bullish news for equities is a short to medium-term view, not necessarily a long-term view. Rate cuts are expected in September and December, and the longer-term outlook for the fiscal deficit is not good under both presidents.

View: Attack could exacerbate tensions in US society
==========
Former US President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt over the weekend, which could reshape the 2024 presidential race. Trump claims Democratic targeting, while bipartisan condemnation has been issued. The attack could exacerbate tensions in US society and impact global recovery from COVID-19 and conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. The Republican National Convention will endorse Trump as their candidate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama have condemned the attack. The polarisation in US politics is so strong that the attack could bridge the schism. The mood in the Republican party is upbeat, viewing this as a development of immense political consequence. India will be carefully watching the situation as it evolves, as any political instability in the US can mean bad news for the world. The attack takes the national and media glare away from incumbent President Joe Biden and puts it squarely on Trump, potentially boosting Trump's chances of securing the White House for the Republicans.

2024 US Presidential Election: Joe Biden's two-pronged strategy to remain in frey and beat Donald Trump
==========
Joe Biden has adopted a two-pronged strategy to remain in the 2024 US Presidential Election. First, he has rejected calls to pull out of the race and declared that he may not be as young and energetic as before, but he knows how to deliver as the president. Secondly, he has targeted Republican contender Donald Trump, saying that he is in a worse condition and will take the country along the wrong path if he wins the election. Biden's strategy includes shifting the focus to Trump and highlighting the republic contender's rhetoric and policies as much worse than his own missteps. Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina has come out in support of Biden and emphasized that Trump's return to power would bring a massive overhaul of the federal government and replace thousands of civil servants with officials loyal to Trump. Biden has faced criticism for his poor performance at the June 27 presidential debate and has been urged by some Democrat leaders to quit the race. However, he remains determined to continue and beat Trump in the election.
