Markets hit 9-month closing highs on Fed rate cut hopes, weak dollar
Domestic equities on Thursday closed at their highest levels in nine months, buoyed up by a decline in the US dollar and Treasury yields. Market traders increased bets on faster US interest rate cuts, following reports that American President Donald Trump may fast-track his nomination for the next Federal Reserve chief. Trump has been critical of the current Fed chair Jerome Powell for not pushing rate cuts. The BSE Sensex ended the day at 83,756, a gain of 1,000 points or 1.2 per cent. The Nifty 50 finished the session at 25,549, up by 304 points or 1.2 per cent. Both indices achieved their highest closing since October 1, 2024. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies increased by ₹3.5 trillion to ₹457.5 trillion. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were net sellers to the tune of ₹2,428 crore, while domestic institutional investors were net buyers worth ₹2,373 crore. Last week, the Fed decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5 per cent. Consequently, the dollar index fell by 0.5 per cent to 97.23, while the 10-year US Treasury yield declined by 2 bps to 4.27 per cent. This week, the 10-year bond yield has dropped by 10 bps. In the commodities market, Brent crude was trading at $66.5 per barrel, up 0.35 per cent. However, it has declined by 13.2 per cent over the week in West Asia. 'An interest rate cut is already factored into futures and bond prices in the US, indicating a prolonged period of lower interest rates. This is generally positive for emerging markets, as foreign investors may be willing to take on slightly higher risks to earn additional returns by investing in these markets. It also aids valuations, as the expected rate of return will decrease," said U R Bhat, co-founder of Alphaniti Fintech. Bhat added that the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran has slightly improved the global market outlook. HDFC Bank, which gained 2.2 per cent, and Reliance Industries (RIL), which rose 1.9 per cent, were the biggest contributors to the Sensex's gains. RIL's market capitalisation crossed ₹20 trillion for the first time after September 27, 2024. The market breadth was mixed, with 2,043 stocks advancing and 1,961 declining on the BSE. The Sensex is now just 2.4 per cent, and the Nifty 2.5 per cent, below their respective all-time highs. Investors are optimistic that the indices could scale new peaks on the back of strong domestic flows. 'Overall, we expect the market momentum to continue, with Nifty likely to move upwards towards its previous all-time highs. This will be driven by healthy domestic macroeconomic conditions and a supportive global environment,' said Siddhartha Khemka, head of research and wealth management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services. On a technical basis, experts said, the market is expected to continue with upward momentum. 'With no major resistance until the 25,700–25,750 zone, we expect this rally to extend by another 150-200 points on the upside. On the downside, support is seen around 25,300-25,350,' said Rupak De, senior technical analyst, LKP Securities.

Market surges 15% from April lows, edges closer to peak levels
Defying tariff and geopolitical tensions, India's equity benchmarks, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, have surged nearly 15% each from their early-April lows and are now approaching record highs. Extending gains for the third consecutive session on Thursday, the Sensex jumped 1,000.36 points (1.21%) to close at 83,755.87, while the Nifty50 rose 304.25 points (1.21%) to settle at 25,549.00. The Sensex now sits just 2,200 points shy of its all-time high of 85,978, and the Nifty is within 730 points of its peak (26,277). The market had nosedived between late March and early April after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a reciprocal tax on goods imported into the world's largest economy. The move stoked fears of an all-out global trade war, with retaliatory tariffs announced by China, the EU, and others. On April 7, the Sensex had plunged about 4,000 points intraday to hit a 52-week low of 71,725 and the Nifty 50 tumbled 1,150 points to hit a low of 21,744.

India's Pine Labs eyes up to $6 bn valuation in $1 bn IPO
Pine Labs, which provides payment solutions such as point-of-sale machines for card transactions, is targeting a valuation between $5 billion and $6 billion read more Indian fintech firm Pine Labs is aiming to raise up to $1 billion through an initial public offering that could value the company as high as $6 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. The company plans to issue new shares worth 26 billion rupees ($304 million), while existing shareholders including Peak XV, PayPal, and Mastercard will sell up to 147.8 million shares, according to draft documents filed with India's market regulator. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Pine Labs, which provides payment solutions such as point-of-sale machines for card transactions, is targeting a valuation between $5 billion and $6 billion, the person said on condition of anonymity. The company was last valued at $5 billion during a funding round in 2022. Proceeds from the IPO will be used to invest in Pine Labs' overseas subsidiaries, fund technology development, and reduce debt, the filings said. The IPO comes amid signs of recovery in India's equity markets, which have had a sluggish start to the year. Foreign investors, who had pulled back significantly in recent months, are beginning to return, lured by large block deals that analysts say could signal a rebound in IPO activity. Despite the recent uptick, IPO proceeds in India are down 4.2 per cent so far this year compared with the same period in 2023, and the number of offerings has dropped by nearly 29 per cent, according to LSEG data through mid-June. The Nifty 50 index has gained 8 per cent in 2025, though it remains 3 per cent below its all-time high reached in September. This week, six IPOs opened for bidding, including a $1.5 billion offering from HDB Financial, which would be the largest by a non-bank lender in India. According to its prospectus, Pine Labs reported revenue of 13.41 billion rupees for the fiscal year 2024, up slightly from 12.91 billion rupees the previous year. However, losses widened to 1.87 billion rupees from 562 million. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Jefferies are among the bookrunners for the offering.
