Stock Market Updates: Sensex Starts On A Flat Note, Nifty Below 25,000; Axis Bank Dips 2%
Last Updated: The benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are likely to see movement today, driven by multiple factors, including the release of Q1 earnings Sensex Today: The benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are likely to see movement today, driven by multiple factors, including the release of Q1 earnings, India's June infrastructure output data, institutional investment flows, and mixed global cues. At 7:49 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 20 points lower at 25,012, indicating a flat to mildly negative start for the Indian bourses. Global Cues Global markets presented a mixed picture in early Monday trade. Asia-Pacific equities were uneven as investors evaluated policy signals from China and kept an eye on renewed global trade tensions. The People's Bank of China maintained its key loan prime rates unchanged, with the one-year LPR holding steady at 3 per cent and the five-year LPR—used for mortgage pricing—unchanged at 3.50 per cent, in line with expectations aimed at supporting economic growth. Trade worries resurfaced over the weekend after the White House reiterated its firm stance on tariffs. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated on Sunday that August 1 is a 'hard deadline" for countries to begin complying with new tariff requirements. However, he added that 'nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1." US equity futures were marginally lower during early Asian hours as traders digested the weekend's trade rhetoric and awaited key tech earnings this week. S&P 500 futures rose 0.06 per cent, Nasdaq 100 futures inched up 0.08 per cent, and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures added 24 points or 0.05 per cent. Wall Street ended Friday on a subdued note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.32 per cent to close at 44,342.19. The S&P 500 dipped slightly by 0.01 per cent to 6,296.79, while the Nasdaq Composite managed to edge higher by 0.05 per cent, finishing at 20,895.66. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Reliance Industries to evaluate impact of EU sanctions on Russian oil trade
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) said on Friday it will evaluate the latest round of sanctions imposed by European Union member states targeting Russia's oil and energy revenues , including restrictions that extend to petroleum products refined from Russian crude in third countries -affecting Indian exports. India's crude imports from Russia were valued at $50.3 billion in FY25, accounting for more than a third of the country's total crude bill of $143.1 billion. Indian refiners, including RIL, process this crude and export petroleum products globally, including to the EU. "There will be a wind-down period, we hope, and we'll need to assess the scope of the sanctions-especially how they define products," said Srinivas Tuttagunta , Chief Operating Officer (Supply and Trading), RIL. "In previous instances, definitions allowed for products that were 'substantially transformed'." India exported petroleum products worth $5 billion to the EU last year. Tuttagunta said RIL would review the final text of the sanctions before taking a formal position. "We are quite diversified," he said. "Light distillates primarily go to the US and other destinations, while middle distillates head to Europe. But we also have markets in Africa, Singapore, the Middle East and others." He added that should Europe lose access to certain distillates, margins could rise sharply. "That has been the trend historically, as we saw in 2022 during the initial Russian sanctions." "We'll wait to see the full details. But overall, margins could be constructive again, depending on how the situation evolves," he said.

System vs System: Why crypto needs a culture of relentless security
In the early years of crypto, the dominant narrative was often adversarial: crypto vs. traditional systems, decentralization vs. control, innovation vs. regulation. But that framing is no longer useful—nor is it accurate. What we are witnessing today is not a battle of ideology, but of resilience. This shift reflects a growing realization: the long-term viability of crypto depends on building systems that are not just open and inclusive, but fundamentally secure. In this new age, cybersecurity isn't a support function—it is the foundation. Whether you're an exchange safeguarding billions in user assets, a developer launching a smart contract, or a retail investor using self-custody wallets, security determines whether your system can withstand stress, fraud, and attacks. Without traditional intermediaries, the burden of protection moves to the edge—to platforms, protocols, and people.

On the surface, it appears harmless: someone shares a wallet seed phrase on a forum or in a comment section, asking for help withdrawing funds. Curious users import the wallet and see a balance—often in stablecoins like USDT or DAI. The catch? There's no native token for gas fees. Driven by the urge to extract the funds, users send ETH or TRX to enable the transfer. Instantly, those tokens are drained by bots monitoring the wallet. The user thought they were exploiting a mistake—when in fact, they were the target all along.

It's a flaw in human behavior. There was no technical breach—just psychological bait and an ecosystem not yet equipped to protect people from themselves. Did you Know? The world of cryptocurrencies is very dynamic. Prices can go up or down in a matter of seconds. Thus, having reliable answers to such questions is crucial for investors. View Details » These types of scams are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated. They don't rely on code exploits, but on exploiting curiosity, greed, and a lack of security awareness among everyday users. That's why building a security-first culture across the Web3 ecosystem is non-negotiable. We cannot wait for regulators or law enforcement to react. The responsibility begins with us—the builders, founders, and platforms that power this industry. Live Events While platforms must improve on the security front, no amount of backend protection can compensate for a lack of user awareness. If crypto is about empowerment, that empowerment must come with education. We need public campaigns, product nudges, default safety mechanisms, and consistent messaging that puts user protection front and center. Security should not be something users opt into—it should be something they cannot opt out of. The ultimate question we must ask is this: when the pressure rises, which systems will hold—and which will fail? The answer won't depend on hype cycles, price rallies, or even regulation. It will depend on how well we've designed our infrastructure, protocols, and user journeys to withstand inevitable threats. In a world where financial systems are increasingly digital and decentralized, we are not just competing on innovation—we are competing on integrity. Crypto will not succeed because it is new. It will succeed because it is stronger. And that strength will come from one thing above all else: security. (Neeraj Khandelwal is co-founder of CoinDCX)
