When global leaders act, your wallet can feel the tremor. Trump's tariffs may look like a global chess move, but they could shake your EMIs back home. Let’s break down how a gavel across the world can impact your monthly payments.
Trump hit Chinese imports with heavy tariffs. That triggered a tug-of-war between economic giants — USA 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳. And in this global battle, prices rise, supply chains rattle… and economies like India can’t stay untouched.
When tariffs go up, importing goods gets costlier. From raw materials to electronics to oil — prices spike. Global inflation fears rise. For everyday folks, this means higher prices and tougher financial decisions down the line.
To cushion the blow, central banks including our RBI often cut interest rates. This helps boost spending and ease the pressure on consumers. Think of it as a financial pause button to keep the economy running smoothly.
Lower interest rates = lower EMIs Whether it’s a home, car, or business loan, your repayment amount could drop. That’s more monthly breathing room and long-term savings. Small changes in rates, big relief for your wallet.
Let’s say you borrowed ₹20 lakhs for 20 years. At 9%, your EMI = ₹17,995 At 8.5%, your EMI = ₹17,356 That’s a saving of ₹7,680 every year! Now multiply that over the loan tenure — and the difference adds up quickly.
A tariff in the West could ripple into an EMI cut in India. Global policies affect your pocket. Staying informed helps you make smarter money moves. Keep an eye on rate cuts and grab better loan deals when they come.
