Rupee falls to five-month low against US dollar amid tariff concerns, stock market tanks
The Indian Rupee on Thursday fell to a five-month low against the United States dollar amid concerns related to the 25% tariff on India announced by Washington. The Rupee opened the trading day at 87.69 against the US dollar, slipping from a close of 87.42 on Wednesday, NDTV Profit reported. The impact of Trump's announcement was also reflected in the stock market. Benchmark index Sensex fell more than 500 points or 0.6% during initial trade on Thursday. The Nifty had also fallen by 0.6% below the 24,700-mark as of 9.50 am. Investors cumulatively lost Rs 5 lakh crore in the first 15 minutes of trade on Thursday, according to The Economic Times. Besides the 25% tariff on goods imported from India from August 1, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that India will also have to pay a ' penalty ' for buying a large portion of its military equipment and fuel from Russia amid the war on Ukraine. However, he did not specify the quantum of the 'penalty'. The United States has said on several occasions it will impose so-called reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries that have not negotiated separate trade agreements with it by August 1. Trump announced higher levies in April, before pausing those tariffs at a reduced 10% rate to allow time for negotiations. Despite an extended deadline, Trump has only secured a handful of deals. On Monday, the US president had said that he would likely introduce a global baseline tariff between 15% and 20% for countries that had not negotiated trade deals with his administration. Trump had said on June 27 that New Delhi could sign a 'very big' trade deal with Washington soon. On July 2, the White House said that the deal was close to being finalised and would be announced soon. An Indian team led by Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had visited the US in May to negotiate the agreement. Following this, a team of negotiators from the US was in India for a week in June.

Rs 25,000 crore FII exodus ends Nifty's 4-month bull run but August could be much worse
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel India's benchmark Nifty index is crashing through a critical support level, ending a four-month winning streak in dramatic fashion as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) unleash a massive Rs 25,000 crore sell-off over just eight trading days. With August historically delivering punishing losses, Trump's higher than expected 25% tariff on Indian goods and disappointing Q1 earnings season, market veterans are bracing for an intensified sell-off in the coming the last 10 years, August month has seen losses in four of the last 10 years. While the average return sits at a modest 1%, the brutal reality of sharp corrections looms large as multiple headwinds converge. FIIs have already played it safe by being net sellers in all the last 8 sessions and offloaded around Rs 25,000 crore worth of stocks from the Indian market. Brent crude oil prices have also jumped 7% in the last one week to $72-23 a barrel and on Wednesday, Indian rupee posted its steepest one-day drop since May and hit a five-month low of 87.5125."On analysis of the last 10 years, conditional probability of a positive August month, given a negative July is zero, suggesting that ongoing weakness could spill over to next month," warns Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Investments negative return of more than 2% has shattered the momentum that powered markets higher through the first half, despite the encouraging 8% gains recorded earlier in the year. James draws parallels to 2019, the only other negative July in the past decade, when similar first-half strength of 8.4% eventually gave way to a more subdued second-half return of 3.5%.Technical indicators are flashing red across the board. Strong support levels now cluster around 24,450-23,600, with the critical 200-day Simple Moving Average positioned at 24,061. The broad market's health is deteriorating rapidly with only 53% of Nifty 500 constituents trading above their respective 200-day SMAs."This percentage is the lowest since mid June, when Nifty staged a recovery from similar levels, which makes 24,650 a critical downside marker," James notes, identifying the make-or-break level that could determine whether markets find their footing or plunge deeper into correction macro environment offers little respite. Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research at Kotak Securities, highlights the twin threats weighing on sentiment: "The market's trajectory in August will primarily hinge on two key factors: developments on the tariff front and the earnings performance of Nifty 50 companies."The corporate earnings season has delivered a harsh reality check, with minimal positive surprises and largely underwhelming results failing to justify elevated valuations. Adding salt to the wound, the Indian rupee continues its relentless slide against the dollar, while bond yields remain anchored around 4.40%, a combination that's providing little comfort to already jittery foreign investors."In the absence of meaningful domestic liquidity support, markets may exhibit weakness," Chouhan warns, projecting a range-bound movement between 24,500 and 25,500 unless a decisive breakout triggers trending FII exodus represents more than just temporary profit-taking. With uncertainty swirling around potential US tariffs on Indian exports and a weaker-than-expected Q1 results season, institutional money is flowing toward safer havens, leaving domestic markets vulnerable to further selling President Dondald Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on India could weigh on FII flows. Thedirect impact, Nuvama said, 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.'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, we maintain a cautious stance on markets,' Nuvama amid the doom and gloom, some analysts detect glimmers of hope. Vinod Karki from ICICI Securities acknowledges that the "sharp rise in equities since Mar'25 lows is limiting a further rise in the immediate term," but maintains that once tariff uncertainties fade and monetary-fiscal stimulus gains traction, "equity markets are likely to take out the previous peak of ~26,000 seen in Sep'24."The risk premium for India has compressed to historic lows, with the 10-year bond yield spread over the US narrowing to just 193 basis points – levels not seen since 2004-05. This development suggests elevated price-to-earnings valuations may be justified if India's relative macro strength now, however, the immediate outlook remains treacherous. James's favoured scenario expects "upsides to be limited to 25,330-550, and downsides to not breach 24,000 mark in August", a narrow trading range that offers little comfort to momentum-driven August unfolds, all eyes will remain fixed on the critical 24,000 support level. A breach could unleash the kind of selling cascade that transforms what began as a routine correction into something far more sinister. In a market where historical precedent suggests zero probability of August gains following a negative July, investors would be wise to batten down the hatches for what could prove to be a turbulent month ahead.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

U.S. sanctions Indian nationals and firms in global crackdown on Iran's oil network
In a sweeping sanctions announcement aimed at dismantling a vast maritime oil smuggling operation benefiting Iran, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has designated several Indian nationals and companies as key enablers of the illicit network. The action, announced Wednesday (July 30, 2025) by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), is part of the largest Iran-related sanctions package since 2018. It targets over 50 individuals, entities and vessels across multiple countries —highlighting the involvement of UAE- and India-based actors in supporting Iranian oil shipments that are under strict U.S. sanctions. These vessels are part of the vast shipping empire controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani (Hossein). Mr. Hossein — the son of Ali Shamkhani, a top political advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran — leverages corruption through his father's political influence at the highest levels of the Iranian regime to build and operate a massive fleet of tankers and containerships, the Department of the Treasury said. The Shamkhani family's shipping empire highlights how the Iranian regime elites leverage their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime's dangerous behavior,' said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. 'The over 115 sanctions issued today are the largest to-date since the Trump Administration implemented our campaign of maximum pressure on Iran. These actions put America first by targeting regime elites that profit while Tehran threatens the safety of the United States,' he said. Indians among sanctioned network operators Among those designated is Pankaj Nagjibhai Patel, an Indian national based in the United Arab Emirates, who U.S. officials describe as a senior executive within several shipping companies tied to the sanctioned Iranian network. Mr. Patel has served as an executive in Teodor Shipping L.L.C., one of the entities connected to the operations of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of a top Iranian regime official. Mr. Patel is also listed as a director of Shreeji Gems Ltd, an India-based firm now implicated in helping facilitate oil transport logistics on behalf of the Iranian network. Two other Indian nationals, Jacob Kurian and Anil Kumar Panackal Narayanan Nair, were identified as key figures behind Neo Shipping Inc., a Marshall Islands-based company that owns the vessel ABHRA (IMO 9282041). The ABHRA is part of a fleet used to move Iranian oil and petrochemicals under false flags and forged documents. Mr. Kurian is listed as the sole shareholder of Neo Shipping Inc., while Mr. Nair has served as its director. U.S. officials stated that both individuals played critical roles in concealing the vessel's ties to the sanctioned Iranian regime. US action freezes assets, bars transactions The designations mean that all property and interests in property of these Indian individuals and companies that fall under U.S. jurisdiction are now blocked. Additionally, U.S. citizens and businesses are prohibited from engaging in any transactions with them. The action also exposes non-U.S. firms to secondary sanctions if they choose to continue doing business with the designated parties. The vessels and corporate structures targeted in this action were allegedly used to obscure the origin of Iranian oil, transfer it at sea, and issue false documentation—ultimately supporting the financing of Iran's military and regional proxy forces. Implications for Indian businesses These action sends a strong warning to Indian businesses and maritime professionals involved in global shipping and logistics. The designations could lead to significant reputational and financial fallout, especially for firms with international dealings. Even indirect involvement in sanctionable activities—such as acting as a nominee shareholder or director of a front company—can attract serious penalties, the Treasury said.
