Animesh Hardia shares his perspective on the current situation: The Indian market has been in a correction phase for about six months, influenced by FII outflows, stretched valuations, weak earnings in certain sectors, and broader global economic concerns\u2014all of which have been exacerbated recently by heightened volatility stemming from the global tariff war initiated by Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During market downturns, quality investments quietly prepare for future growth.

A significant sell-off is typically followed by a strong comeback, meaning that the market&#8217;s best days often closely follow its worst days. Therefore, selling out of the market may feel like a safe option, but it can lead to missing out on the benefits of staying the course. Remember the old saying: &#8220;Time in the market is more important than timing the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Focus on What you Can Control<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus on what is within your control. While it is not a time to make sweeping changes if you want to rebalance your portfolio, go for it. Asset allocation is key to success in the long run.

Here\u2019s a breakdown of how and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tariffs affect gold prices in different scenarios:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">1. \u2191 Tariffs + \u2191 Uncertainty \u2192 Gold Prices Go Up<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tariffs often signal the beginning (or escalation) of trade conflicts. This creates market uncertainty and raises the risk of global economic slowdown. During uncertain times, investors typically shift their money into &#8220;safe haven&#8221; assets like gold, which historically hold value better than equities or currencies in volatile environments. As it was witnessed during the U.S.-China trade war in 2018\u20132019, gold prices rose nearly 20% as tensions escalated and investors sought safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">2. \u2191 Tariffs + \u2191 Inflation \u2192 Gold Prices Go Up<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tariffs make imported goods more expensive, which can raise overall price levels\u2014i.e., inflation. Gold is a traditional hedge against inflation because its value tends to rise as currency purchasing power falls.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1970s, during a period of stagflation (slow growth + high inflation), gold prices soared more than 500% as inflation eroded fiat currency value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">3. \u2191 Tariffs + Strong USD \u2192 Gold Prices Flat or Down<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold is priced in US dollars. So when the dollar strengthens\u2014often because investors flock to it as a safe haven or because higher U.S. tariffs improve the trade balance\u2014it becomes more expensive to buy gold in other currencies. This limits global demand for gold and can keep prices flat or even push them down.<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2022, despite inflationary pressures, gold remained largely flat because the U.S. dollar index (DXY) surged due to aggressive Fed rate hikes and global capital inflow into dollar assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: scroll; white-space: nowrap; padding-bottom: 10px; scrollbar-color: black lightgray; scrollbar-width: thin;\">\n<table style=\"width: 800px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Tariff Action<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Possible Gold Reaction<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Why?<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2191 Tariffs + \u2191 Uncertainty<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold Price \u2191<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safe-haven demand<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2191 Tariffs + \u2191 Inflation<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold Price \u2191<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hedge against inflation<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2191 Tariffs + Strong USD<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold Price \u2193 or flat<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dollar strength counters gold<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also Read\u00a0 &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/1finance.co.in\/blog\/gold-has-a-golden-history-but-will-it-have-a-shining-future\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/1finance.co.in\/blog\/gold-has-a-golden-history-but-will-it-have-a-shining-future\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Market turbulence, like the one triggered by Trump\u2019s tariff moves, is a reminder that external shocks are an inevitable part of investing.
