India's financials withstand tariff turmoil, backed by strong updates and cheap valuations
India's financial services index .NIFTYFIN rose 0.2% on Friday, bucking the broader market decline
The Nifty 50 .NSEI has slipped 2% in two sessions since U.S. President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on India and others
Financials held steady, supported by strong pre-quarterly updates from HDFC Bank HDBK.NS, Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS, Bank of Baroda BOB.NS, and RBL Bank RATB.NS
"Strong business updates have supported financials even as broader sentiment remains weak," says Aishvarya Dadheech, CIO of Fident Asset Management
Analysts believe U.S.-linked growth fears may push the RBI to accelerate rate cuts, which could lower banks' funding costs despite margin pressure
Financial stocks are also benefiting from cheaper valuations, attracting investor interest, Dadheech adds
The financial services index is up 5.3% in 2025, outperforming the Nifty 50’s 3.3% drop
