Pricey vegetables bring tough time

We agree that the most recent difficult time for the common people was brought on by more expensive vegetables, which made them reflect on what our beloved everyday precious life now entails. The surprising circumstance has become a difficult period to endure. Due to several circumstances, vegetable prices are currently high in several places, including Kanpur.  Various common vegetables are now less available and more expensive because of supply chain disruptions, particularly those caused by the rainy climate. Media do not fail to report that rising vegetable prices are practically putting pressure on household finances, particularly for those with lower incomes. Prices for vegetables vary based on terrain and local market conditions, even though they are often pricey. According to the Economic Survey 2024–25, unfavourable weather conditions, such as unexpected rainfall and prolonged heatwaves, have impacted crop output and created supply shortages, which have forced prices high ...

From Tapering Tantrum to Trump Tantrum


The economic experts apply a Tapering Tantrum banking strategy to counter the adverse blow to the rupee. They also do not miss any opportunity to restrict by suitably focusing on balancing the rupee's position in the country's economy.

 Recently, the "Trump Tantrum" refers to the effect of Donald Trump's presidency on the Indian currency which is most commonly called in our daily terminology as rupee. They find it as a temporary occurrence. As the study shows, the rupee is anticipated to settle shortly after the first volatility or in-predictability that may occur during the first few days of Donald Trump's leadership. 

It stated that empirical evidence suggests that Trump's Tantrum for INR will be a short-term phenomenon, and the rupee should adjust after the initial shock of the early days of his US Presidency. We look confident that we’ve been able to impart some of what fuels us creatively, and through them, the economy will continue to evolve in a way that makes sense not only for the moment but also for the country.

Looking back at previous U.S. presidencies, especially since the Nixon era, the rupee has been relatively stable during the Republican tenures, adding that historical data showed the Indian rupee has generally performed better under Republican administrations compared to Democratic ones. 

Contrary to market perceptions, the rupee appears more vulnerable under a non-Trump or Democratic regime, as the report cleared. Although some short-term volatility is anticipated, the current state of affairs differs from the levels observed during the notorious Taper Tantrum of 2013. 

Because of this opposing trend, experts think the rupee's response to Trump's presidency will only last a short while. According to the research, capital outflows caused the rupee to depreciate in the second half of 2024. The rupee's depreciation was also helped by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which was brought on by Donald Trump's election victory in November. 

With the US dollar, the rupee has lost almost 3% of its value since November 2024. Corresponded with the rupee to other world currencies, its performance is still among the most stable despite this wonder. 

The rupee has depreciated by ~3 per cent against the US dollar, still in the lowest echelon in direct discrepancy to other countries. The inclusion of Indian bonds in international bond indices drove capital inflows that kept the domestic foreign currency market stable during the first half of 2024. As a result, the rupee was protected from increased volatility. 

Overall, the analysis forecasts that worries about sustained volatility will be allayed as the rupee will recover from the first shock of the Trump presidency and is expected to settle in the upcoming months.
