India - US deadlock is now out in open. First reps & ministers traded barbs, now Industrialists are commenting. Watching with popcorn
FYI - cost of starlink in those areas would be 15-20% of their per capita income (ref cost of starlink in BD). BTW how has Tesla fared in India?
India has a superior long term track record (In USD terms for 30 years, in 21st century) over almost all markets.
India's underperformance vs other markets during Oil led scare isn't new. Take a look at the table.
India vs EM
The key signal. India historically dominates this comparison. The current reversal is meaningful. India has usually been the quality compounder within EM. That shows up repeatedly across the table.
But the latest gap is exceptional:
India: -9.5%
EM: +29.3%
This is the cleanest monitorable. If India starts narrowing the gap versus EM, it may signal that the valuation and earnings preference for India is returning.
After such phases of underperformance, outperformance probability improves.
India vs US
Less diagnostic on its own. India has lagged the US in many long windows before. So, India trailing the US is not, by itself, a structural red flag.
The US has had a long-running advantage from earnings quality, mega-cap technology, and dollar strength.
What is unusual now is the scale of the latest gap:
India vs S&P since Oct-24: -27.9 ppt
India vs KOSPI
The most dramatic regime indicator. The recent Korea gap is extreme and worth watching for either exhaustion or persistence.
