Amid recent market turbulence triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes, Indian investors have been actively “buying the dip” in U.S. equities, particularly throughout April. This strategy involves purchasing stocks during market downturns, anticipating future rebounds. Indian investors have notably increased their investments in U.S. markets during this period.

This trend aligns with a broader pattern where younger investors, especially from Generation Z, view market downturns as opportunities rather than setbacks. Many have capitalized on the volatility, with some reporting significant profits during rapid market recoveries.

Despite the initial sell-offs, major U.S. indices have shown resilience. For instance, the Nasdaq 100 experienced a 1% decline but later rebounded as investors seized the opportunity to buy undervalued stocks.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY): $563.51 USD

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ): $485.93 USD

SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA): $412.26 USD

These figures indicate a stabilization in the market, suggesting that the dip-buying strategy employed by Indian investors may be yielding positive results.
