The best financial instrument is something that depends on the persons favorable
and comfortable trading practices.
Dealing with financial instruments needs experience, capability and the ability to
forego the results occurred and move over to another investment.
In general, one type of financial instrument that possible outperforms others is
future bonds. Bonds are usually easy to predict the changes, The risk involved with
bonds is comparatively lower than many others. The responsiveness of bonds to the
changes in government policies, or trends in the economy is easier to predict than
any other financial instrument.

Impact of demonetization on Indian economy:
Difficult for consumer markets, as dealing with small currency notes will not be easy.
Since this move is aimed at pulling out all the black money from, it Is going to
impact the economy positively provided, people are obedient enough to pull it out
by themselves.
Also, Consumer Price Index (CPI) is considered as the indicator of measuring
inflation. Due to demonetization, consumer markets have been hit badly because
consumers tend to purchase smaller and essential items, health care items.
Also, real estate is a sector that involves huge exchange of cash, mostly black
money is expected to slow down significantly.
Bank deposit rates have fallen, due to the expected fall in inflation because of
demonetization, also the repo rate (The rate at which RBI lends money to other
commercial banks) is also expected to fall.

Impact of Trump rule on USA economy:
If the expected tax reforms and investment programs have been implemented, then
the US economy is expected to rise in 2017.
Donald Trumps investment plans have been assumed to be business-friendly, sicne
we hare already seeing a growth in US markets. Also, Trump has never been very
favorable to the implementation of Obama Care, and hence there migt be
significant changes in the insurance and health sectors as well. Impact of
immigrants, availability of jobs for immigrants will also tend to see a change after
he assumes power. Trump considers seeking help from IMF rather than contacting
fellow countries.
Since he has always belonged to the corporate sector, there is an expectation of
him giving more power to industries, which might be profitable for the growth of the
US economy.
-------------------
Trumps role on Indian economy:
Trumps strict rules toward offering H1B work visas, would significantly affect the IT
biggies like Infosys and TCS, His main focus is to develop manufacturing jobs
alongside others, which would give a severe blow to the people working in the US or
prospective students who are aiming at going to the US. Also, lowering taxes and
other tax incentives would attract major manufacturing firms to produce in the US
which would again affect the jobs, and might also affect the Make in India
movement.
Though he has appreciated the growth India is proceeding toward after Modis rule,
he is still adamant in bringing back jobs to the USA, and hence it is not very clear if
he is positive toward the country or not.
When considered positives, since Trump is also against Pakistan, and named it as a
safe place for terrorists, the defense relations might get strengthened. Since he is
also not very favorable toward China, India being one of the most progressive third
world countries would be able to gain some attention.
--------------------------
Impact of GST on Indian economy:
Introduction of GST enables removal of tax barriers and hence India will become one
of the leading markets in the world, achieving economies of scale (Proportionate
saving in cost due to an increased level of production), and hence there will be a
significant rise in the trade markets. Introduction of GST will also facilitate the easy
implementation of Make in India, as the focus will be moved to the Indian markets.
GST also helps in avoiding double taxation and also tax evasion.
Also since we have number of taxes right now, integration of them all into one
common GST, will also make doing business in India easy and reduces the
transaction costs. Since introduction of GST is expected to initiate local and foreign
investments, there is also a projection of creation of more jobs.
