ON A GIANT WHEEL RIDE...RIGHT NOW

The New Indian Express Sambalpur

|

April 14, 2025

OME years back, I started a series in this column titled 'Right Now', which was the title of a popular rock song released over three decades ago by the music group, Van Halen.

- ASHOK KUMAR Head of LKW-India. He can be reached at ceolotus@hotmail.com (Views expressed here are personal)

The lyrics of this song proposed living for the moment and not being afraid of making a change. So, in this fortnight's column, I propose to take you, my valued readers, on a Giant-Wheel ride... 'Right Now' across our financial markets.

Right now, the dust that seemed to be settling on the just ended financial year has turned into a storm across global markets following the launch of fresh tariffs by the United States of America and its subsequent pause for countries other than China.
