The Biden Impact
Speaking to The Quint, Saurabh Mukherjea said that the theory that Biden will be more friendly towards emerging markets has contributed significantly to the rise in stock markets.
He also stated that “there is no proof that Trump’s anti-China rhetoric had any impact on trade flow.”
Biden, Saurabh Mukherjea said, will expedite the fiscal stimulus. In Biden’s America, the “rich” may get taxed more.
Saurabh Mukherjea’s Advice

Mukherjee in his conversation with The Quint also said that Indian IT companies could benefit, API manufacturing could improve now and defence sector could grow.
Saurabh Mukherjee further advised Indians to invest in companies with clean accounts, to look for companies selling essential products and to opt for companies which have a tough barrier for entry.
