Nifty futures fall, oil rises after US tariffs on India over Russian energy

The Nifty futures fell and crude prices rose after US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued an executive order imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods from India over its purchase of Russian energy. The Gift Nifty futures declined up to 0.9 per cent before recovering and were trading at 24,535 — down 95.5 points or 0.39 per cent — as of 8:45 pm. Oil prices climbed, with Brent crude trading at $69.2, up 0.85 per cent. The benchmark Nifty ended Wednesday's session at 24,574, down 75 points or 0.3 per cent. The latest tariffs are in addition to the 25 per cent tariffs already in place. 'The recovery of Gift Nifty indicates that the markets are likely to take Trump's announcement in their stride and are not shocked. Additional tariffs are more of a theatre and negotiation tool than an actual imposition,' said UR Bhat, co-founder, Alphaniti Fintech. 'We expect the markets to fall by 1–2 per cent in a knee-jerk reaction, but most would expect a resolution. Impact on GDP will be around 30–40 basis points if these tariffs are sustained for a year,' said Dhiraj Relli, managing director and chief executive officer, HDFC Securities. Trump on Tuesday had accused India of fuelling Russia's war machine. The US President had earlier escalated trade tensions by unilaterally imposing a 25 per cent tariff after months of negotiations. The additional tariffs come ahead of an August 8 deadline that Trump gave Russia to reach a truce with Ukraine. He has also threatened secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian energy.

Oil prices seesaw as US Secy questions potential Russia sanctions

Oil prices pared earlier gains and eased to fresh five-week lows after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated there would be an announcement later on Wednesday on whether potential sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine would proceed this week. "We'll have more to say about that later on today," Rubio said when asked about the timing of the possible sanctions, adding that there would hopefully be some announcements soon. "Maybe positive, maybe not." Russia, the second-biggest crude producer after the US, said US envoy Steve Witkoff held "useful and constructive" talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, two days before the expiration of a deadline set by President Donald Trump for Russia to agree to peace in Ukraine or face new sanctions. A larger-than-expected US crude storage draw last week also boosted prices. Brent crude futures were down 35 cents, or 0.5 per cent, to $67.29 a barrel at 12:03 pm EDT (1603 GMT), while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 41 cents, or 0.6 per cent, to $64.75. Those moves marked a fifth consecutive day of losses for both crude benchmarks, with Brent on track for its lowest close since July 1 and WTI on track for its lowest close since June 24. "Prices bounced up on the potential higher tariffs on India, but the market is waiting for some sort of a formal implementation as well as which elements in the market are to be affected," said Janiv Shah, an analyst at Rystad Energy. Shah said a planned supply increase from the Opec+ group, which includes the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies like Russia, would offset a potential decline in Russian oil supply. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, meanwhile, will visit China for the first time in over seven years, a government source said on Wednesday, in a further sign of a diplomatic thaw with Beijing as tensions with the US rise. Oil markets also found support earlier in the day from a bigger-than-expected decline in US crude inventories last week. The US Energy Information Administration said energy firms pulled 3.0 million barrels of crude from inventories during the week ended August 1. That was much bigger than the 0.6-million barrel draw analysts forecast in a Reuters poll but was smaller than the decline of 4.2 million barrels that market sources said the American Petroleum Institute trade group cited in its figures on Tuesday.
