GIFT Nifty hints towards positive start to equities on Dalal Street
GIFT Nifty: GIFT Nifty August 2025 futures were trading 23.50 points (or 0.09%) lower in early trade, suggesting a flat to mildly positive opening for the Nifty 50 today. Institutional Flows: Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 1,979.96 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,138.59 crore in the Indian equity market on 25 July 2025, provisional data showed. According to public data, FPIs have sold shares worth Rs 30,508.66crore in the cash market during July 2025. This follows their cash purchase of shares worth Rs 7,488.98 crore in June 2024. Global Markets: Asian markets traded mixed on Monday as investors awaited further details on upcoming U.S.-China trade talks, set to begin later in the day in Stockholm. The talksled by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifengare expected to cover a broader range of topics, and Bessent anticipates an extension of the current trade truce between the worlds two largest economies. A trade deal between the U.S. and EU boosted market sentiment and offered some clarity ahead of major policy decisions by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan later in the week. One could expect more trade deals to be announced this week as nations race to conclude trade agreements with the US, before the August 1 deadline that has been self-imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. On Wall Street, all three major averages finished in positive territory on Friday and posted gains for the weekly period. The S&P 500 ended the session 0.40% higher, closing at 6,388.64, while the Nasdaq Composite finished the day up 0.24% to reach 21,108.32. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 208.01 points, or 0.47%, to settle at 44,901.92. Domestic Market: The domestic equity benchmarks ended deep in the red on Friday, with the Nifty 50 breaching the key 24,850 level and posting losses for the second straight session. The selloff was broad-based, sparing only pharma and healthcare among NSE's sectoral indices. IT, metals, and auto stocks bore the brunt of the decline, dragging benchmarks lower. Muted corporate earnings, lacklustre global cues, and premium valuations in index heavyweights all weighed on sentiment. Adding to the pressure was persistent foreign institutional selling, which kept investors on edge. Caution also stemmed from lingering uncertainty around U.S.-India tariff talks ahead of the crucial August 1 deadline, the European Central Banks decision to pause rate cuts, and slowing inflows from domestic institutional investors after a period of strong accumulation. The S&P BSE Sensex tanked 721.08 points or 0.88% to 81,463.09. The Nifty 50 index declined 225.10 points or 0.90% to 24,837. In two consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex declined 1.52% while the Nifty fell 1.51%.

India bonds dip as wary traders sell before US, domestic cenbank policy
MUMBAI, July 28 (Reuters) - Indian government bonds fell in early deals on Monday, as traders nervously sold debt ahead of rate decisions by the United States and Indian central banks, and as the market lacked fresh positive cues to spur buying. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was at 6.3603% as of 10:35 a.m. IST, compared with Friday's close of 6.3505% and up nearly 8 basis points since last week. Bond yields move inversely to prices. Indian bond yields continued to rise after Friday's selloff, when Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra's commentary in an interview with the Financial Express trimmed rate cut bets in the market. "Investors expecting an August rate cut are shedding positions after the Governor's comments on Friday, so the selling pressure is expected to continue," a trader at a state-run bank said. "6.38% is a key technical level for the 10-year benchmark this week." Traders will closely eye any change in the RBI's inflation and growth forecasts to gauge its interest rate trajectory, they said. The RBI is set to announce its policy decision on August 6. Focus is also on the US Federal Reserve's policy decision, due on Wednesday, in which the central bank is widely expected to keep the rates unchanged, traders said. US yields have also hurt sentiments in the domestic market. The US 10-year bond yield was at 4.3899% in Asian hours, having risen nearly 6 basis points since last week. India's overnight index swap rates were unchanged in early trading, as market participants awaited further cues after a selloff on Friday. The one-year OIS rate was at 5.53% and the two-year OIS rate was at 5.51%. The liquid five-year OIS rate was at 5.73%. (Reporting by Khushi Malhotra; Editing by Janane Venkatraman)

'Asia must open up': ADB president says world won't return to pre-Trump era
Asian economies must embrace openness and reform like never before, Masato Kanda, president of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said in an interview with Nikkei. The former Japanese currency chief took charge of the Manila-headquartered multilateral lender in February, shortly after Donald Trump returned to the White House for a second term—an event Kanda described as having 'completely changed the world'. Since taking office, Kanda has held discussions with leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese Premier Li Qiang, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. 'Those leaders all agree that we must use this crisis as an opportunity for reform to build more resilient domestic and regional economies,' he said. 'There will never be a return to a world before Trump,' Kanda said, stressing that Asian economies must diversify away from over-reliance on the US market and global supply chains. 'Strengthening the domestic markets of Asian countries and regions is an important task.' $10 billion investment in Asean grid, Indian metros To support regional resilience and integration, the ADB has pledged up to $10 billion for the Asean Power Grid—an initiative aimed at enhancing cross-border electricity connectivity and energy security in Southeast Asia. Kanda also confirmed the bank's proposal to invest another $10 billion in urban infrastructure projects across India, including metro systems. 'You don't see such a project at that scale in other regions,' he noted, citing India's demographic dividend and its rising role as a regional investment hub. Beyond 'China plus one' While global supply chains have already begun shifting away from China, Kanda cautioned that Southeast Asia, previously buoyed by the 'China Plus One' strategy, is now itself vulnerable, particularly under the weight of fresh US trade barriers. 'The concept still holds, but it must evolve,' he said. 'Diversification must extend beyond final goods markets to include raw material sources and intermediate suppliers.' Asia must not turn inward: ADB president Kanda warned that in the face of growing protectionism in the West, Asia cannot afford to become inward-looking. He urged countries in the region to deepen trade integration not just within Asia but with Europe as well. Speaking on the sidelines of the ADB's annual meeting in Italy earlier this year, Kanda said European leaders had expressed strong interest in strengthening economic ties with Asia, which they view as the world's primary growth engine. 'Reform momentum is building across Asia,' he said, highlighting efforts by regional leaders to dismantle structural barriers such as land-use restrictions and capital controls. 'They understand that survival cannot come from relying on gimmicks.' Kanda also called for prudent macroeconomic policies, warning that without sustainable public finances and a normalised monetary stance, governments may lack the flexibility to respond to future crises. US relations and China lending Despite political changes in Washington, the ADB maintains what Kanda described as a "constructive relationship" with the United States. He pointed to the bank's ability to increase lending by 50 per cent since 2009 without expanding its capital base, calling it an efficient use of donor funds. On US pressure to halt lending to China, Kanda said discussions were ongoing among shareholders. Current ADB loans to China have declined sharply and are now focused on global public goods such as environmental sustainability and biodiversity. ADB trims India forecast amid US tariff pressure The ADB's latest Asian Development Outlook, released last week, revised India's GDP growth forecast for the financial year 2025–26 (FY26) down to 6.5 per cent from the previous 6.7 per cent, citing the impact of US tariff policy and broader global slowdown. Despite this downward revision, the ADB noted that India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies globally. 'This revision is primarily due to the impact of US baseline tariffs and associated policy uncertainty,' the report said. It warned that beyond lower export demand, investment flows may also be affected by heightened uncertainty. Inflation forecasts have also been revised downward to 3.8 per cent for FY26, following a faster-than-expected decline in food prices.
