combined 50% tariff on Indian exports<\/a> to the U.S. will reduce demand for Indian goods \u201cvery substantially\u201d, Moody\u2019s Analytics said in a report.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe report was talking about the combined effect of the ongoing 25% tariff on Indian imports imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as the secondary tariff of 25% he imposed for India\u2019s economic dealings with Russia, which are set to come into force on August 27.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia has experienced a sudden deterioration in its relations with the U.S. and has been threatened with 50% tariffs, a rate that will reduce demand for Indian goods very substantially,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
It added that the tariffs imposed by the U.S. have left countries across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region \u201cfeeling bruised\u201d since the U.S. is the largest trading partner for most of them, and a decline in sales to their largest customer \u201cwill hurt\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSome firms in these countries may be willing to slash prices to maintain volumes, but this will affect firm performance through lower margins, a squeeze on wages and investment,\u201d Moody\u2019s Analytics added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that we now expect tariffs to remain in place for the remainder of Trump\u2019s presidency, the drag on growth, particularly on investments and exports, will be notable,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
