Inflation Cools, Trade Deficit Widens: What It Means for You
India’s retail inflation cooled to 3.34% in March 2025—the lowest since 2019—driven by a sharp drop in food prices. Vegetables fell 7.04%, pulses 2.73%.
On the flip side, India’s trade deficit widened to $21.54B as imports outpaced exports.
While non-petroleum exports hit a record $37.07B, rising imports raise concerns for sectors dependent on global supplies.
So, how should you play this?
- Banks & NBFCs could benefit as lower rates boost credit demand. Focus on lenders with strong retail portfolios and high CASA ratios.
- Consumer & FMCG stocks may get a lift as falling food inflation improves spending power. Especially those with rural reach.
- Export-driven stocks? Be selective. Companies with diversified markets and strong product demand could hold up well.
- Import-heavy sectors may face margin pressure from rising costs and currency swings.
As economic signals diverge, investors may find it’s a good time to review portfolio allocations with a fresh perspective.
