Realty stocks, known to be sensitive to interest rates, rallied after the RBI's rate cut, as banks are expected to pass on the benefit to borrowers, resulting in lower EMIs on home loans.

Is Elon Musk's feud with Donald Trump a teaser for his political ambitions? Rumors spiral as 'Muskians' weigh in
In an unexpected twist that's rippling through political and tech circles alike, Elon Musk and Donald Trump—once perceived as two towering allies of influence—are now locked in a public spat that's as volatile as their personalities. The feud , which has evolved from sharp remarks to veiled accusations, is fueling whispers of a deeper political pivot for the Tesla and SpaceX boss. Could this be Musk's unofficial campaign trailer for a future role in politics ? From Compliments to Cold Wars The dramatic fallout began when Trump, speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, commented coolly on his past rapport with Musk: 'Elon and I had a great relationship… I don't know if we will anymore.' The remark came after Musk voiced criticism of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill (BBB)—a sweeping debt-cutting proposal. Trump quickly countered, accusing Musk of attacking the bill to safeguard Tesla's electric vehicle subsidies. Musk didn't hold back. In a stunning escalation, he suggested on social media that Trump may be implicated in the "Epstein files," sending speculation into overdrive. The insinuation lit up the internet, while Trump fired back with threats to strip Musk of his multi-billion-dollar government contracts, suggesting this would be a quick way to 'save billions' in the federal budget. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo Political Chess or Genuine Rift? As the drama unfolded, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie stepped in with a striking perspective. Massie dismissed the idea that Musk was ever driven by tax incentives, claiming the billionaire's involvement with political figures had cost him more than it gained. 'So many politicians get into politics for personal benefit,' Massie said while talking with Fox News . 'Elon's motivations go beyond that.' According to Radar Online, t his clash has left the Republican base visibly shaken. Trump loyalists are reeling, struggling to reconcile their admiration for both men. Some online users, affectionately dubbed "Muskians," appear to be navigating what commentators are calling the 'seven stages of political grief.' And with Musk increasingly weighing in on legislative matters and electoral dynamics, some believe he's testing the waters for a deeper dive into the political arena.

Massie's suggestion that Musk should engage more with primary elections than general contests is telling. Not all Republicans are cut from the same cloth, and Musk's vocal criticism of Trump-era policies—paired with his ever-growing influence—could position him as a disruptive force within the GOP, or even beyond it. Critics argue that Musk's interventions highlight a broader shift in conservative politics, where tech moguls and billionaire capitalists wield growing influence over party ideology and public discourse. But the tension also exposes a deeper fear: that Musk, with his staggering wealth, massive online following , and visionary allure, could reshape political engagement altogether—perhaps as a candidate, or at least as a kingmaker. — RepThomasMassie (@RepThomasMassie) From Boardroom to Ballot? For now, Musk hasn't made any formal moves toward a political office. But the ferocity of his feud with Trump, paired with his increasing interest in legislative decisions, is leaving many to wonder: is this more than a battle of egos? Is it a preview of a seismic shift in American political leadership? Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear—the Musk-Trump rift is more than just personal. It's political, it's public, and it might just be the start of Elon Musk's most uncharted journey yet.

Market geared for fresh upmove post RBI action
The surprise monetary easing on Friday ignited an aggressive selling of Nifty put options, indicating that India's benchmark stock index is poised for a surge when the market opens on Monday. On Friday, the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy committee (MPC) transmitted a clear signal for growth, slashing the benchmark repo rate by 50 basis points (bps) and the cash reserve ratio requirement (CRR) by 100 bps. Traders responded by selling a huge quantum of put options at Nifty's 25,000 level, reflecting the belief that the index would clock smart gains on Monday. Open interest (OI) in Nifty's weekly 25000 strike put expiring on Thursday rose a whopping 470% to 83,472 contracts on Friday after the policy announcement. Open interest is the total number of outstanding derivative contracts. Sriram Velayudhan, senior vice-president, IIFL Capital Services, said this reflects the fresh trigger for markets from the RBI's unexpected action. "The outsized cuts in the repo rate and the unexpected significant easing of the CRR have given a bullish texture to the market," said Velayudhan. "Most mutual funds are underweight financials and IT, and with this cut, we expect fresh buying in rate-sensitives, which will prop up the market. One of the signals of bullishness is reflected in the sale of the ATM (at-the-money) put, which shows the high confidence of the traders." At-the-money refers to options which trade at or close to the current market price of an underlying index or stock. 'Bullish sign' Rajesh Palviya, SVP (head of derivatives & technical research), Axis Securities agreed with Velayudhan's take on the index. "Writing puts at the same level as the Nifty is a very bullish sign," said Palviya, who raised the range for the Nifty to 24900-25500 from 24500-25100 after the RBI action. Traders have baked in a range of 24670-25330 for the Nifty this week with an immediate bias to the upper end of the range, Palviya added. Also read | Has RBI unleashed its arsenal too soon for the economy? Traders sell more put options relative to call options when they believe markets will rise, enabling them to pocket the premiums paid by the put buyers—investors who buy put options either to punt or to hedge their portfolios against anticipated volatility. Conversely, traders sell more calls than puts when they expect markets to fall. The Nifty closed 1% higher at 25003.05 on Friday after RBI cut the rate at which it lends to banks (repo) by a greater-than expected 50 bps to 5.5% against the market estimate of 25 bps. It also reduced the share of total deposits banks must park with it (CRR) by 100 bps in tranches to 3%. The policy panel also shifted monetary policy stance to neutral from accommodative. FPIs trim positions Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) trimmed their short index futures positions to 92730 contracts on Friday from 106,988 contracts a day earlier. Retail and high net worth investors (HNIs) booked some profits on their bullish index futures positions by reducing these to a net long 61524 contracts on Friday from 68669 net long contracts on Thursday. FPIs have turned net buyers of Indian shares since mid-April as the dollar weakened and the US bond yields fell. After selling ₹2.85 trillion worth of shares in the secondary market between October and March, fuelling a 9% fall in the Nifty to 23519, they net purchased shares worth ₹21,327 crore in April and May, aiding the Nifty's recovery by 5.2% to 24751 by the end of last month. Also read | RBI to soon issue easier gold loan rules for small-ticket borrowers Since then, FPIs turned net sellers worth ₹12,077 crore in the month through 5 June, as per NSDL, which hadn't released the figure for Friday. However, BSE data shows that FPIs net purchased shares worth a provisional ₹1009.71 crore on Friday, while domestic institutional investors purchased a net ₹9,342.48 crore. BSE data shows that DIIs absorbed the FPI selling at lower levels, net buying ₹3.75 trillion worth of stocks between October last year and March this year. Their buying of ₹1.2 trillion since March end to 6 June drove the recovery from a multi-month low to 21743.65 on 7 April to 25003.05. From March end to 6 June, FPIs net invested ₹10,260 crore in the cash market, NSDL data showed. Jyoti Jaipuria, founder of PMS firm Valentis Advisors, is bullish on markets after the RBI policy, as he believes the rate cut and CRR reduction, could spur consumption demand, leading to better earnings growth. He is bullish on small cap companies in the financial, chemicals, pharma and engineering segments. Also read | RBI aims to boost economic growth, liquidity with jumbo rate and CRR cuts

FIR against HDFC Bank MD-CEO by loan defaulter
FIR against HDFC Bank MD-CEO by loan defaulter An FIR has been filed against HDFC Bank's MD and CEO by a certain Mehta family that defaulted on a bank loan provided back in 1995. The private lender informed stock exchanges on Sunday evening, as it vowed to continue all lawful remedies to recover the dues from the defaulter. In 2001, Splendour Gems Limited, owned by the Mehta family, defaulted on loan facilities granted in 1995 by HDFC Bank along with the other consortium banks, the HDFC Bank informed stock exchanges. Despite a recovery certificate issued by the Debt Recovery Tribunal in 2004 and subsequent enforcement actions, the dues remain substantially unpaid, the bank said. The outstanding dues towards HDFC Bank, including interest, amount to approximately Rs 65.22 crore as on May 31, 2025. "In response to ongoing recovery proceedings, members of the Mehta family have initiated multiple legal actions and complaints against HDFC Bank and its senior officials. These include criminal complaints, minority rights petitions, and representations to regulatory authorities--all of which have been dismissed or are under legal challenge. HDFC Bank firmly believes that these allegations are retaliatory in nature and have mala fide intention solely at evading repayment of long-standing dues," the bank said in its statement. Mehta Family, once again, through Lilavati Kirtilal Medical Trust, has filed a complaint against HDFC Bank's MD and CEO. HDFC Bank unequivocally "rejects and strongly condemns the malicious and baseless allegations levelled and maintains that these allegations are completely false, outrageous and constitute a gross misuse of the legal process." HDFC Bank firmly believes that "these actions (by Mehta family) are a deliberate attempt to obstruct and undermine legitimate recovery proceedings related to substantial long-outstanding dues owed by Splendour Gems Limited." "Having exhausted all legal avenues without success, these individuals have now resorted to launching personal attacks against HDFC Bank and its MD and CEO in a clear attempt to malign their reputation and intimidate HDFC Bank into halting its recovery actions. These actions appear to be a calculated distraction from their own failures and liabilities," the bank added. In the statement, HDFC Bank reiterates its commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance. HDFC Bank said it has robust internal controls and compliance mechanisms to ensure adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. "HDFC Bank's governance framework is designed to uphold transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in all its operations. HDFC Bank believes in fostering a culture of ethics and integrity ensuring that the highest standards of corporate governance are maintained. HDFC Bank's commitment to ethical conduct is reflected in its policies, procedures and actions," HDFC Bank said. "HDFC Bank will continue to pursue all lawful remedies to recover public funds and address the retaliatory actions taken by the Mehta family as well as to defend the reputation and integrity of the Bank, its Directors and other employees. HDFC Bank remains dedicated to upholding its reputation for corporate governance and ethical conduct," HDFC Bank concluded its statement.
