Green Stocks Feb 11: Meltdown Continues, In Sync With market

stock market

Green stocks continued their slide towards normalcy, at the cost of heavy losses for many investors, as the Indian markets continued to be skittish. While the current bout of weakness can be attributed mostly to the fear of a global tariffs war, ignited by Donald Trump, the larger worry is about how a tariffs-ridden global order has never been good for growth. Thus, even I India were to escape lightly from any punitive strikes from the Trump administration, the broader picture remains muddy.

All our green packs reflected that, as stocks continued to lose out as investors sought safety. For green energy stocks, it’s a matter of the medium to long-term impact if firms hit by lower growth slow down on green commitments, and taking the same logic wider, countries flinch too. Not a pretty picture if you believe in the imperative of the green transition, and certainly not the 4 years of chaos you want if waiting out Trump’s stint was an option. Here’s wishing better sense prevails.
