Why It Matters
This is arguably the biggest U.S.-India trade deal in history. The removal of India’s digital services tax is a major win for U.S. tech giants like $GOOGL, $META, and $AMZN who have fought the tax for years. The energy purchase commitment benefits $XOM, $CVX, and U.S. coal producers. Agricultural tariff reductions open a 1.4 billion-person consumer market to American farmers.
