The shares of shrimp and textile companies surged on November 11 amid rising hopes for India and the US reaching their much-awaited trade deal. This would likely result in a reduction in tariffs levied on Indian exports to the US, benefitting these export-oriented sectors significantly.

The shares of these export-focused companies had previously fallen sharply after the Trump administration raised tariffs on Indian imports to 50 percent, citing India’s ongoing purchases of Russian oil.

However, growing optimism about a potential India–US trade deal has lifted shrimp and textile stocks, which earn a large share of their revenue from the American market.

What did US President Donald Trump say?

“We are getting a fair deal, just a fair trade deal,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during the swearing-in of his envoy to India, Sergio Gor. “We are making a deal with India, a much different deal than we had in the past,” he added.

Trump reiterated his optimism that a deal was near, stating, “We are getting close.”

It stated that US President Donald Trump announced that the United States was nearing a trade agreement with India aimed at strengthening economic and security relations, increasing American energy exports, and encouraging investment in key US industries.
