Is India at Risk? Find Out How the US Debt Ceiling Crisis Can Impact Your Wallet

The US debt ceiling crisis is making headlines around the world, and for good reason - it has the potential to impact not just the US economy, but also economies and financial markets across the globe. India is no exception, and investors and citizens alike are keeping a close eye on the developments.

For starters, the debt ceiling crisis in the US could lead to a decline in investor confidence, which could have a ripple effect throughout the global financial markets. This could lead to increased volatility and uncertainty, which is never a good thing for investors or businesses.

But that's not all. India could also be impacted in more direct ways, such as through its exports to the US. If the US economy slows down due to the debt ceiling crisis, this could lead to a decrease in demand for Indian goods and services, which could impact the Indian economy.

Additionally, the US is one of the largest consumers of oil in the world, and a debt ceiling crisis could lead to a decrease in demand for oil, which could in turn lead to lower global oil prices. This could actually benefit India, which is one of the largest importers of oil in the world, by reducing its import bill.

Foreign investment is also a potential area of impact, as the US is a major source of foreign investment for India. If the debt ceiling crisis leads to a decrease in investor confidence in the US, this could lead to a reduction in foreign investment in India as well.

And last but not least, a debt ceiling crisis in the US could lead to increased volatility in global fnancial markets, which could impact the value of the Indian rupee relative to other currencies. This could be a concern for investors and businesses alike.

Overall, the impact of the US debt ceiling crisis on India is complex and multifaceted, and will depend on a variety of factors. But one thing is clear - investors and citizens alike should stay informed and be prepared for potential market volatility.

Old History stats :

- In 2013, a debt ceiling crisis in the US led to a government shutdown that lasted 16 days, and the stock market dropped during that time.

- During the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, the stock market experienced significant volatility, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping by over 2,000 points in a few weeks.

- In 2013, the US narrowly avoided defaulting on its debt when Congress reached a last-minute agreement to raise the debt ceiling. However, the uncertainty leading up to the agreement caused significant market volatility.

- In 2019, the US debt reached a record high of over $22 trillion, and the debt ceiling was suspended until July 31, 2021, when it was reinstated.

Biggest lesson that life has taught

LIFE  has taught me lessons too many to mention, therefore I will only list those that are imposed by the ill of society. Our aspirations that we foster as children are blown up to smithereens as we begin to age. From failure we learn humbleness and for success we learn that happiness was its sacrifice. The lessons we learn are not all reflective of our successes but deflective in our failure looking for that unseen fulfillment in which we elude ourselves in. Silence is wisdom & wisdom is power.  Ernest Psiachari, a French writer from the 1800’s expressed- Silence is a bit of heaven that comes down to earth. True words of wisdom. Slumbering ego awakened by the dim-witted.  To imply that every human being has an ego which is normally in slumber. But if the dim witted awakens my ego, I will wreak havoc. I will boast about my achievements, only when my ego is provoked. The secret of success stays secret.  To work harder than my competitors by not offering any inform...

Dont dream Big

Dreaming big is absolutely needed if you are ambitious and want to stay busy working on projects. If you want to spend your life chilled out - then the answer is no. So the first thing is to figure out what do you want out of life: busyness or relaxation. If you’re asking this question I am going to assume you are at least quasi-interested in pursuing an ambitious goal, so with that in mind, I’m going to answer the question -  how  is the best way to pursue a big goal. We hear a lot around ‘dreaming big’, but the crazy part is, rarely do people teach much past that attention grabbing headline. Big dreams - and big results - are lovely on glossy magazine covers, but the reality is far less glamorous. As such, here are the less glamorous parts to dreaming big. a) If you’re going to dream big and work hard, you’re going to have to link your work to a deep emotional driver. Dreaming big means a lot of small failures, and you are going to need additional motivation when things don’...
