Jio Financial share price snaps 3-day losing run, gains as Jio Blackrock raises ₹17,800 crore via maiden NFO
Jio BlackRock recorded a total investment of ₹ 17,800 crore in its maiden NFO across three cash and debt mutual fund schemes – JioBlackRock Overnight Fund, JioBlackRock Liquid Fund and JioBlackRock Money Market Fund.
The three-day NFO, which was launched on June 30, 2025, and closed on July 2, 2025, attracted interest from over 90 institutional investors. The cash/debt mutual fund schemes also recorded an overwhelming response from retail investors, with over 67,000 individuals investing in these funds during the offer period.
The NFO was one of the largest in India's cash/debt fund segment, placing JioBlackRock Asset Management among the top 15 asset management companies by Debt Assets Under Management in the country, out of 47 fund houses, the company said in a release.
These first funds offered by JioBlackRock Asset Management provide a broad range of investors choice to manage different elements of cash and short-term allocations, and put cash to work for meeting differing liquidity, risk and return objectives, the company added.
"Short-duration debt and money market mutual funds are a solution for investors looking to get yield by holding lower-volatility and short-term funds, without locking into a long-term commitment and providing clients with the flexibility to meet their liquidity needs. They serve as tools for investment portfolio builders, corporate treasuries and retail investors alike," Jio Blackrock said.
Against the backdrop of strong demand for Jio Blackrock funds, Jio Financial share price rallied in trade today, snapping its three-day losing run.
Jio Financial share price opened at ₹ 324.60, slightly lower than its last closing price of ₹ 325 on the BSE. However, it soon rebounded to touch the day's high of ₹ 329.65 apiece, an upside of 1.4%.
The large-cap stock, part of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance group, having a market capitalisation of ₹ 2 lakh crore, has rallied 54% in the past three months. However, the stock is down 7% for the year.

Sensex crashes 800 points, Nifty drops below 24,650; why is Indian stock market falling? Explained with 5 key factors
Stock market crash: The Indian stock market suffered significant losses across segments in the morning session on Thursday, July 31, with the benchmark Sensex crashing nearly 800 points and the Nifty 50 plunging below 24,650. A massive selloff engulfed the domestic stock market a day after US President Donald Trump slapped a 25 per cent tariff on most Indian imports to the US. The Sensex opened at 80,695.50 against its previous close of 81,481.86 and plunged nearly 800 points, or 1 per cent, to an intraday low of 80,695.15. The NSE counterpart Nifty 50, after opening at 24,642.25 against its previous close of 24,855.05, crashed almost 1 per cent to an intraday low of 24,635.00. The selloff was more intense in the mid and small-cap segments as the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices plunged up to 2 per cent. Investors lost over ₹ 3 lakh crore within the first 10 minutes from the opening bell as the overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms dropped to nearly ₹ 449 lakh crore from more than ₹ 452 lakh crore in the previous session. Track all live updates of the Indian stock market here Experts highlighted the following five key factors behind the stock market selloff: US President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff and a penalty on India for buying Russian oil, effective August 1. Experts believe a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports to the US may weigh on the Indian stock market sentiment. If tariffs stay at this level for a longer period, it will impact the country's GDP growth and weaken its currency, further impacting foreign capital inflow. "The higher tariffs on India versus expectations could potentially weigh on capital flows. FII flows have now become critical in shaping market outcomes amid heavy promoter selling and slowing DII flows. The direct impact is likely to be on stocks/sectors where the US sets the marginal price –pharma, auto ancillaries, a few industrials, cables and wires, tiles, etc.," said Nuvama Institutional Equities. "However, the indirect impact of capital flight is likely to be more dominant and could weigh on SMIDs and high-beta domestic cyclicals (real estate, NBFCs and industrials). On the other hand, an INR depreciation could help IT, and it could potentially outperform given the now low relative valuations. Overall, maintain a cautious stance on markets," the brokerage firm added. Another key factor that added to the pessimism in the market is the lack of hints from the US Fed on rate cuts starting coming months. While the US Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate in the range of 4.25 per cent to 4.50 per cent on expected lines, the central bank did not give any clear signal that rate cuts may begin any time soon. Some experts believe rate cuts may begin after one or two quarters. "It may take more than one or two quarters—possibly even longer—before the Fed begins easing. Over the past two months, tariffs have been on the rise, and their impact is expected to come with a lag. The September–October period will be crucial to observe how these tariffs affect US inflation," said G Chokkalingam, the founder and head of research at Equinomics Research Private Limited. Market participants appear concerned that elevated interest rates for a longer period may keep the US dollar and bond yields up, which can affect the foreign capital inflow in emerging markets like India. Massive foreign capital outflows have been one of the main reasons behind the Indian stock market's recent downtrend. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have sold Indian equities worth over ₹ 42,000 crore in the cash segment in July so far (till July 30). FPIs have been selling Indian stocks as the market valuation is stretched, the rupee has weakened, and earnings have remained soft. (This is a developing story. Please check back for fresh updates.)

Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from the Indian stock market on Thursday?
Mumbai: Indian equities could extend their decline on Thursday after US President Donald Trump on Wednesday slapped a 25% tariff on imports from India, along with an unspecified penalty. Mumbai: A woman walks past the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) building, in Mumbai, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024. Sensex and Nifty tumbled in early trade on Monday in-line with extremely weak trends in global markets amid fears of a slowdown in the US economy and foreign fund outflows. (PTI Photo) (PTI08_05_2024_000214B) *** Local Caption *** (PTI) Stocks of textiles, pharmaceuticals, and automotive component companies—key Indian exporters—are likely to be hurt the most, said experts. However, they also expect the fall to be short-lived on hopes of a trade deal eventually being struck. India and the US are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement and the next set of talks are scheduled in August. The benchmark Nifty, which fell 3.1% over the past four weeks to 24,837 last Friday, recovered marginally to 24,855.05 on Wednesday. The tariff announcement came after the markets closed and could result in investors taking fresh bearish positions. The market was expecting a 20% tariff. Also Read: 'PM Modi a friend of mine, but…': What Donald Trump said on 25% US tariff bomb However, an additional 5 percentage point tariff rate along with an unquantified penalty 'could result in a knee-jerk reaction', said Swarup Mohanty, chief executive officer (CEO) of Mirae Asset Investment Managers, which manages ₹2 trillion. 'But things will begin to stabilise sooner than later as a large part of the uncertainty is out of the way. It's a negotiating tactic and we could reach a deal soon.' Options traders had baked in a 1% move from 24,900 in the Nifty, with a range of 24,780-25,020, at Wednesday's closing. That range may now break on the downside after the announcement. In the past four weeks, the markets were already under pressure as a weakening rupee and higher stock valuations than other emerging markets prompted foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to pull out over ₹32,000 crore from Indian equities in July — a sharp reversal from their buying trend last month. The rupee declined 2.2% over the past month—from 85.49 on 27 June to 87.42 against the US dollar on Wednesday—to its lowest level in five months. The fiscal first-quarter earnings of Indian companies have also been weak. Consolidated profits of 704 companies fell 6.2% over a year earlier. The Nifty trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 22.8 times on a trailing basis, compared to 14.21 for the Kospi index. The Korean market is the best performer in Asia, and it closed at a four-year high on Wednesday. At Wednesday's closing, the Nifty 50 is almost 6% off its record high of 26,277.35 on 27 September 2024. Still, money managers such as Ashish Gupta, who oversees assets of ₹3.37 trillion as chief investment officer at Axis Mutual Fund, believe that there could be at best a short-term knee-jerk reaction. 'DIIs (domestic institutional investors) will continue to buy at lower levels, which will cushion any fall,' he said. To be sure, while FPIs have sold cash shares worth ₹1.32 trillion in the year to date, domestic institutional investors have purchased shares worth ₹4.12 trillion over the same period. One area of concern for FPIs is the weaker local unit, which dents their dollar returns. With the tariff tensions persisting, the rupee could weaken a tad more before the Reserve Bank of India intervenes to keep it within a range of 86-87 in the month ahead, according to Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda. 'The stock market reaction to the tariff imposition won't be longer than a few days,' added Sabnavis. Some economists expect the higher-than-expected tariff to hit India's GDP growth. 'When the US had initially imposed tariffs, we had lowered our forecast of India's GDP expansion to 6.2% for FY2026, presuming a tepid rise in exports and a delay in private capex,' said Aditi Nayar, chief economist at ICRA Ltd. 'The tariff (and penalty) now proposed by the US is higher than what we had anticipated, and is therefore likely to pose a headwind to India's GDP growth. The extent of the downside will depend on the size of the penalties imposed,' she said.
