He also said he spoke with both Modi and Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, and threatened to withdraw from trade deals with their respective nations, which helped avert a “nuclear war.”While Trump and Modi have shared a cordial relationship in the past, the U.S. President’s assertions about the American role in ending the conflict between India and its neighbor have strained it.

The Geopolitical Windfall for Indian ETFs as Trump Hints at Tariff Cut 

Indian ETFs like INDA and FLIN gain spotlight as U.S.-India trade deal seems to near, which could slash tariffs and reignite investor confidence. 

U.S. President Donald Trump struck a constructive tone on Tuesday regarding trade negotiations with India and his "very good friend," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even as he urged European Union officials, behind closed doors, to impose high tariffs on the South Asian nation.Trump reportedly discussed the proposal in a meeting with EU officials on Tuesday, according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/2267eb41-b19a-4a9f-93ca-14ac0343cd77">report</a>, based on information from unnamed U.S. officials, published in the evening. He has asked for up to 100% EU tariffs on imports from India as well as China, in a move aimed at turning up the heat on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.The two nations heavily purchase Russian oil, something Trump has criticized, saying that it indirectly funds the Ukraine war.Last month, the U.S. announced a 50% tariff rate on Indian exports, in part because of the country's trade with Russia. The move came as a surprise and signaled tensions between the U.S. and India, which have traditionally had friendly relations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;About an hour after the FT report, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that the U.S. is working with India to resolve trade barriers."I look forward to speaking with my very good friend, Prime Minister Modi, in the upcoming weeks. I feel certain that there will be no difficulty in coming to a successful conclusion for both of our Great Countries!" he&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115176472700835865">said</a>.Modi<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/narendramodi/status/1965597878237139351">&nbsp;replied</a> through his X account early Wednesday morning (India time), saying the two countries are "close friends and natural partners" and expressing confidence in reaching a trade agreement that benefits both.Meanwhile, Trump told reporters Tuesday evening that he expects to have a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin "this week or early next week". Trump has for months pushed to end the war in Ukraine with limited success, as Russian attacks in the country have intensified in recent weeks.The latest development also follows a seemingly successful summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping, Putin, and Modi last week.The U.S. market has outperformed India’s in terms of growth so far this year, a period marked by intense volatility due to Trump’s ever-evolving tariff plan. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a> has gained 10.3%, compared to a 1.6% decline in the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDA">iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA)</a>, which tracks Indian stocks.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for SPY remained in the ‘bullish’ zone, while that for INDA dropped to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ the previous day.Editor’s note: This story has been updated with Indian PM Narendra Modi’s reaction to Trump’s Truth Social post.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Trump Praises ‘Good Friend’ Modi Publicly, But Reportedly Pressures EU Privately To Clamp Down On India With 100% Tariffs

Tech giant Apple, Inc. (APPL) is making considerable inroads in India, a country where it has expanded its manufacturing presence as well, as the U.S.-China standoff continues to be a headwind.&nbsp;A Bloomberg <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-05/apple-s-india-sales-hit-record-9-billion-after-big-retail-push">report,</a> citing people familiar with the matter, stated that Apple’s sales in India reached $9 billion in the fiscal year that ended in March 2025. This marked a $1 billion (12.5%) increase from the previous fiscal year. In Apple’s fiscal year, which ended in September 2024, its overall revenue increased 2%, with iPhone sales a tad better at 3%.Cupertino’s flagship product, the iPhone, drove the bulk of the sales in India, with MacBook laptops also witnessing a demand surge.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple stock</a> is among the worst-performing mega-cap stocks this year, having pulled back about 4% year-to-date (YTD). On Stocktwits, retail traders were ‘neutral’ (54/100) on the stock as of early Friday, but the message volume remained at ‘normal’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:618/51;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_05_at_3_36_45_AM_png_f9acf5cd00.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-05 at 3.36.45 AM.png" width="618" height="51"><figcaption>AAPL sentiment and message volume as of 3:30 a.m. ET, Sept. 5 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>China, which was once the most important market for the Tim Cook-led company from both demand and supply perspectives, has seen a pushback due to tapering demand amid competitive pressure and macroeconomic weakness. After the U.S. President Donald Trump slapped hefty tariffs on exports from China, Apple has shifted most of its U.S.-bound iPhone assembly to India.&nbsp;Acknowledging the untapped market opportunity in India, which was previously overlooked due to the country's price-sensitive consumer base, Apple has opened two additional retail outlets in the country this week.&nbsp;The new outlets are located in Hebbal, Bangalore, and Koregaon Park in Pune, in addition to the existing ones in Delhi and Mumbai, which opened in 2023.Cook posted about the new stories on his X account. “Say hello to Apple Hebbal in Bengaluru and Apple Koregaon Park in Pune!

Apple has strived to make it affordable to the growing working class in India by offering student rebates, trade-in discounts, and credit card rebates through partnerships with banks.&nbsp;Counterpoint Research stated in a report that the iPhone 16 was the most shipped device in India during the June quarter, as the ultra-premium segment outperformed the overall smartphone market.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/what-happened-at-trump-s-white-house-dinner-for-tech-ce-os/chwIclaRdpQ">What Happened At Trump's White House Dinner For Tech CEOs — And Why Elon Musk Was Nowhere To Be Seen</a>

U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign and trade policies are redrawing the dynamics among countries that find themselves on the losing side of his agenda.A new report by Bloomberg, published on Thursday, stated that China reached out to India in March, and India began responding constructively in June as India's trade negotiations with the U.S.&nbsp;became contentious.&nbsp;Chinese President Xi Jinping wrote a letter to Indian President Droupadi Murmu, expressing concerns about any U.S. deals that would harm China’s interests and suggesting engagement to improve India-China ties, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-28/secret-xi-letter-revived-india-ties-after-trump-tariff-barrage">reported</a>, citing an unnamed Indian official.Xi’s letter named a provincial official who would steer Beijing’s efforts. The message was also passed on to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the time.By August, Indo-Chinese ties appeared to have moved past the souring triggered by&nbsp;a major border skirmish in 2020, with Modi scheduled to visit China for the first time in seven years this weekend.The U.S. has been high-handed with China, setting insurmountable import duties on the country just after Trump first announced the tariff rates for all countries in April.After multiple revisions and rollovers, the current rates are lower, with the U.S. and China engaged in talks for a permanent agreement, giving global markets some relief.India's negotiations with its long-time friendly partner soured rather abruptly when Trump last month accused India of supporting Russia and its war in Ukraine by buying large quantities of Russian oil. The U.S. imposed a steep 50% tariff rate on Indian imports in retaliation.In July, Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, in Beijing,&nbsp;marking the first such visit in five years. China assured India of supplies of fertilizer and rare earths during the meeting, and in the coming weeks, a series of steps were taken to improve ties.According to Bloomberg, direct flights between India and China&nbsp;are expected to resume next month. Beijing has eased curbs on urea shipments, while India has resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals.India's Adani Group is also exploring a tie-up with Chinese EV giant BYD, which would allow the conglomerate to manufacture batteries in India.For now, the moves to normalize relations between New Delhi and Beijing remain incremental, according to the report.In a separate&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/kim-putin-xi-to-stand-shoulder-to-shoulder-in-beijing-parade-amid-growing-tensions-with-trump/chsCCssRdlu">development</a>, North&nbsp;Korean leader Kim Jong Un has accepted Xi's invitation to attend a parade in Beijing next month, alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro escalated criticism of India on Wednesday, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of financing Russia’s war in Ukraine through discounted oil purchases and dubbing the conflict “Modi’s war.”&nbsp;His comments came hours after the Trump administration doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, the highest reciprocal levies in Asia, affecting more than 55% of shipments to the U.S, though electronics and pharmaceuticals remain exempt, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-27/navarro-calls-ukraine-modi-s-war-hits-india-over-russian-oil">report</a>.&nbsp;Navarro said India’s actions undermine U.S. workers, businesses, and taxpayers, while describing New Delhi’s stance as “arrogant” and urging it to “act like the world’s biggest democracy.” The trade adviser argued that cheaper Russian oil helps the Kremlin sustain its war while costing Americans jobs and income.The tariff hike follows months of stalled negotiations, as India has objected to Washington’s protectionist policies, particularly those affecting agriculture.&nbsp;Meanwhile, New Delhi has defended its continued Russian crude imports as necessary to contain domestic energy costs, calling U.S. measures “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.”Although Russia’s oil exports are not sanctioned, with the U.S. and G7 previously endorsing purchases under a $60-per-barrel price cap,&nbsp; India has become one of the largest buyers of seaborne Russian crude since 2022.China remains Moscow’s largest customer, though the Trump administration has maintained a softer approach toward Beijing as part of a broader trade truce.Trump has pledged to end the war but has so far failed to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the table, despite direct meetings with both leaders.&nbsp;He has warned of “very serious” consequences if peace efforts stall, though no new penalties have been imposed.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was reported as ‘bullish’ on the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and ‘bearish’ on the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), both with ‘normal’ message volume, while sentiment on the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) was ‘neutral’ with ‘high’ message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPY</a> is up 11%,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">QQQ</a> gained 12.5%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDA">INDA</a> inched up 0.1%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi used his Independence Day address to push for deeper self-reliance and unveil fresh tax reforms, just days after U.S. President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50% over its continued oil trade with Russia.&nbsp;Speaking from New Delhi’s Red Fort, Modi urged citizens to produce high-quality goods domestically and achieve self-sufficiency in energy, minerals, technology, and defense, warning against rising “economic selfishness” worldwide, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-15/modi-assails-economic-selfishness-in-defiance-of-trump-tariffs">report</a>.&nbsp;The 103-minute speech took place against the backdrop of worsening trade tensions that New Delhi has branded as “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.”&nbsp;The tariff hike, which analysts say could cost India nearly 1% of GDP, has also prompted a diplomatic reset with Beijing.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/india-china-are-reportedly-poised-for-a-trade-reset-on-rare-earths-fertilizers-pharma-amid-us-tariff-strain/chsRJsGRdaS">Modi will visit China</a> for the Aug. 31–Sept. 1 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, his first in seven years, where discussions on resuming key trade in rare earth magnets, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals are expected.The Prime Minister said the government will roll out “next-generation” Goods and Services Tax reforms by October to lower the burden on businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises.&nbsp;He also pledged a “new normal” in security policy, rejecting nuclear blackmail and vowing an indigenously built precision defense system.&nbsp;A new task force will be&nbsp;established to implement time-bound policy changes, with Modi describing the moment as an opportunity to “visualize big dreams” and “make history.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) was ‘neutral’ with ‘normal’ message volume.&nbsp;The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) also saw ‘neutral’ sentiment but with ‘high’ message volume, while the Nippon India ETF Nifty BeES (NiftyBees) recorded ‘neutral’ sentiment with ‘extremely low’ message volume.Sentiment for the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) was ‘bearish’ with ‘normal’ message volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPY</a> is up 10.7% and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">QQQ</a> has gained 13.7%, both outperforming&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NIFTYBEES.NSE">NiftyBees</a> at 4.8% and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDA">INDA</a>, which is down 0.4%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Trump announces 25% tariff on India over Russia ties

Investing.com -- President Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will impose a 25% tariff plus penalties on India starting August 1, citing the country’s purchases of Russian military equipment and energy.

India could&nbsp;face a tariff higher than the rate agreed upon for some of its Asian peers, even as negotiations between Washington and New Delhi progress toward the final stage.Speaking aboard Air Force One while returning&nbsp;from a five-day visit&nbsp;to Scotland, President Donald Trump hinted at a 20%-25% rate that could apply to India, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-29/trump-says-india-may-pay-20-to-25-tariff-but-not-yet-final">reported.</a> He, however, clarified that the final rates have not been determined.“India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country,” Trump told reporters. “You just can’t do that.”The stock market&nbsp;has shown little excitement over the trade deals the Trump administration has clinched with major trading partners, such as Japan and the European Union (EU).On Tuesday, the S&amp;P 500 Index, a measure of broader market performance, closed shy of its record high.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the S&amp;P 500 Index, has risen 9% year-to-date, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDA">iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA)</a> is up a more modest 1.6%.The SPY was among the top five active tickers on Stocktwits late Tuesday, ahead of the big tech earnings and the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting. Sentiment toward the ETF has moved into ‘extremely bullish’ territory as traders discussed the earnings season and geopolitical tensions.The rate flagged by Trump aligned with the levy suggested by a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-braces-higher-us-tariffs-eyes-broader-trade-deal-sources-say-2025-07-29/">report</a>, which cited two government officials, stating that India was bracing for a 20%-25% tariff as part of a temporary agreement amid its unwillingness to make concessions on certain items.The goal is to have a final, comprehensive deal in place by September or October.While the “Liberation Day” tariffs were announced first on April 2, Trump imposed a 26% levy on exports from India, in addition to a 10% across-the-board baseline tariff. The implementation of the reciprocal tariff was subsequently paused for 90 days until July 9 and has since been extended to Aug. 1.India was not among the recipients of a series of letters Trump sent to several major trading partners since the deadline extension, communicating revised tariffs.Last week, Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal expressed confidence that India would receive&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/india-wants-tariff-edge-over-rivals-as-commerce-minister-hails-exceedingly-good-progress/choGV3oR5vT">preferential treatment</a> relative to its peers and competitors, reasoning that it was among the first countries to initiate trade deal negotiations with the U.S.New Delhi has reportedly conveyed to the U.S. about specific items that it wouldn’t compromise on, including the disallowance of exports of genetically modified crops and the opening up of the domestic dairy and automobile industries. The country, however, was willing to allow zero tariffs on goods, such as auto parts and pharmaceutical products.&nbsp;U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reportedly stated on Monday that Washington requires additional time to assess India’s willingness to open its market to American exports.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/this-confectionery-stock-turned-retail-investors-cautious-ahead-of-earnings-but-wall-street-has-a-different-take/choaPg7R5yn">This Confectionery Stock Turned Retail Investors Cautious Ahead Of Earnings, But Wall Street Has A Different Take</a>
