Williams-Sonoma Positioned to Benefit from US-India Trade Deal
- Trade Deal Progress: Indian Petroleum Minister stated that the US-India trade deal is in very advanced stages, which could positively impact retail companies like Williams-Sonoma (WSM), particularly in terms of exports.

- Market Performance Recovery: WSM shares rose 0.5% in premarket trading on Tuesday and have increased over 14% year-to-date, reflecting market confidence in its future growth prospects.
