Why Tata Motors' shares are down for 4th consecutive day
What's the story
Shares of Tata Motors have witnessed a decline for the fourth consecutive day, falling by another 1.5% today. The fall comes despite a trade deal between the UK and the US during the G7 summit in Canada. The decline was mainly due to Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Tata Motors' UK division, issuing a subdued guidance for the current financial year.
Trade impact
What does the US-UK trade deal say?
The US-UK trade deal, signed on the sidelines of the G7 summit, will reduce tariffs on UK auto exports to the US from 27.5% to 10%. This will be effective from the end of this month and will apply to a yearly quota of 100,000 vehicles. However, despite these reductions, Tata Motors' shares have continued their downward trend.
