Boeing shares plunge over 6 pc in pre-market trade after Ahmedabad plane crash
New Delhi: Shares of Boeing fell sharply in pre-market trading on Thursday, dropping over 6 per cent after an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft crashed in Ahmedabad. As of 3.31 p.m. IST, Boeing shares were down by 6.42 per cent in pre-market trading, at $196.51. On Wednesday, the stock had closed 0.80 per cent lower at $214. Boeing is a US-based multinational company that designs, manufactures, and sells aeroplanes, helicopters, rockets, satellites, and missiles across the globe. The aircraft, manufactured by Boeing and operated by Air India, was en route from Ahmedabad to London when it crashed shortly after takeoff. The flight was carrying 242 people, including 10 crew members and three infants. The crash occurred near the Meghani Nagar area of Ahmedabad. Witnesses reported seeing thick black smoke rising from the site immediately after the crash -- indicating potentially extensive damage. Multiple fire brigade vehicles rushed to the scene as rescue and relief operations began swiftly. However, as of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the number of casualties or the extent of the damage. "There is no confirmed cause of the crash at this stage. A detailed inquiry has been initiated," a Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) spokesperson said, adding that all relevant agencies are being involved in the probe. The aircraft took off at 13.39 IST from Runway 23 at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. According to officials, a Mayday call was issued moments after liftoff, but no further communication was received from the cockpit. The flight was being operated by Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal, a long-time Air India pilot with over 8,200 flying hours, and First Officer Clive Kundar, who had logged 1,100 hours. Thick black smoke was seen rising from the crash site by residents and airport staff. According to the DGCA statement, emergency services were immediately dispatched, and rescue operations are still going on. The aircraft crashed outside the airport boundary, suggesting it failed to climb properly after takeoff. According to information, the DGCA officials are on site collecting flight data, voice recordings, and witness accounts as part of the investigation. Sources said that Boeing representatives and officials are also expected to assist the ground staff. This is one of the most serious aviation incidents in India in recent years involving a wide-body aircraft. Boeing aircraft have been involved in multiple crashes over the years. The most recent was a Jeju Air flight in South Korea, which crashed in late December 2024 during a landing attempt, resulting in the loss of 179 lives. That aircraft was a Boeing 737-800.

Retail inflation cools to a six-year low of 2.82% in May on moderating food prices
New Delhi: Retail inflation in India cooled to its lowest level in over six years in May, helped by a sharp moderation in food prices, according to provisional government data released Thursday. Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation eased to 2.82% year-on-year, down from 3.16% in April and 4.8% in May last year, data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) showed. This marks the fourth consecutive month of sub-4% inflation, the longest such streak in at least five years. The data comes just days after the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5%, its third straight cut and a cumulative reduction of 100 basis points since the easing cycle began in February. The move signals a possible pivot from inflation control to supporting growth. Food inflation came in at just 0.99% in May, down from 1.78% in April and a sharp decline from 8.69% a year ago. A Mint poll of 15 economists had projected CPI inflation to ease to 3% in May. The actual reading reinforces the view that price pressures are softening across several key consumption categories. Retail inflation last dipped below 3% for six consecutive months between November 2018 and April 2019—a period during which the RBI also cut rates by 50 basis points. Food prices continued to cool in May, with with slower price increases in cereals, eggs, and fruits compared to April. Prices of meat, fish, vegetables, and pulses declined declined during the month to offering some relief to households. However, inflation remained sticky in essential items such as milk and dairy products, edible oils, and non-alcoholic beverages, highlighting the uneven nature of the overall moderation. Inflation in the food and beverages category rose 1.5% year-on-year in May, easing from 2.14% in April and 2.88% in March. Prices in other core categories remained largely stable. Clothing and footwear inflation held at 2.67% in May, unchanged from April and slightly above March's 2.62%. At the state level, 12 of 22 major states reported inflation below the national average of 2.8%, including Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The central bank's rate setting panel held its ground on the GDP growth forecast for FY26 at 6.5% in its June review, offering a measure of stability amid persistent global uncertainties. The central bank had initially projected a 6.7% expansion but revised it downward in April, flagging risks from rising trade and policy volatility—including the potential impact of a return to steep, Trump-era tariffs that could strain Asia's third-largest economy. With inflation expected to average 4% over the year, ranging from 3.6% in the first quarter to 4.4% by the end, the RBI may begin to gradually shift focus from taming prices to reviving credit and supporting growth, especially in what may turn out to be a softer economic year.

Gold is back under pressure after a stunning surge. What's driving the dip?
Ever since the price of gold hit six digits – ₹1 lakh per 10 gm – back in April, the market's focus on the yellow metal has been intense. Traders and investors alike had bullish targets but, contrary to expectations, the price of gold cooled off in May. The bulls brushed this off as a normal correction, and sure enough gold was back above ₹1 lakh on 5 June. However, there was a change in sentiment over the weekend, and the bulls don't seem very confident any longer. Why is that? Let's explore the reasons for the recent dip. Reasons for the correction First things first. The price of gold hasn't fallen much – it's down only about 2% over the past two days. But sentiment has taken a bit of a hit, especially among traders. Reports that the price of gold may have made a temporary top are doing the rounds. This is not idle market chatter – there are genuine reasons for thinking so. Also read: Gold duty evasion fight turns into a game of whack-a-mole To understand this, you can read our prescient editorial from March – Will the gold rate decrease in the coming days? Here's the important part from the editorial. When the entire market is talking about the rising price of gold, it's easy to forget that the opposite can also happen. In that case, it would trigger losses for leveraged traders who are long on gold. The factors that can cause a fall in the gold price are the same as the ones that are responsible for its rise… only in reverse. Here's how... Now, this doesn't mean that all the points above need to be fulfilled for the gold price to fall. Even some of these may be enough to take the wind out of the sails of the bulls. As things stand, the bulls have the upper hand. However, investors should carefully watch out for any potential changes to the underlying factors driving up gold. If the changes are sufficient in significance, then the price of gold will fall. Some of the points mentioned above are indeed playing out. While there was a flare-up between India and Pakistan after we published this piece in March, the situation did not escalate and a ceasefire was declared. While there has been an escalation in the Ukraine war, the markets are not too concerned about it. On the other hand, there have been some factors that are putting pressure on the price of gold. #1 US-China trade talks Top trade representatives of the US and China are meeting in London today to work out a way to resolve the trade dispute between the two countries. If a breakthrough is achieved, stock markets will celebrate. This will reduce the demand for safe-haven assets like gold. #2 US economy One of the factors we mentioned that could put pressure on the price of gold was the chance of a US recession fading away. Gold tends to do well when there are fears of a recession. US GDP growth for the last quarter came in negative but that was due to tariff-related reasons. If the US signs trade deals with major economies, including China, fears of a US recession will disappear. The latest jobs data from the US also suggests that the US economy remains resilient and that unemployment is not rising. The US is a consumption-based economy. If the US labour market remains resilient, consumers will continue to spend, which in turn will prevent a recession. This is negative for gold. #3 Delay in interest-rate cuts Just a few months ago, financial markets were convinced that the US Federal Reserve would cut interest rates. This would be done, market pundits said, to prevent a rise in US unemployment and to head off a potential recession caused by Trump's tariffs. Well, if US unemployment is not rising and the chances of a recession remain low, the Fed will focus on inflation, which has been stable in the US recently. Thus, it may not cut interest rates anytime soon. Also read | Mint Explainer: What are RBI's final norms for loans against gold and silver? Lower interest rates are bullish for gold. Gold doesn't pay an interest, so when interest rates rise, or are high, gold comes under pressure. The reverse is also true. If interest rates are falling or are low, gold tends to do well. US interest rates are currently high and potentially still on the way up. In such a scenario, if the Fed does not cut rates, the price of gold loses a major reason to move up. Conclusion Does all this mean that you should sell gold? Certainly not. At Equitymaster, we believe in having 5-10% of one's portfolio in gold at all times. However, investors should not see gold as a potential substitute for any other asset. It makes sense to hold some precious metals in one's long-term portfolio, but it doesn't make sense to speculate on short-term price movements. If you're considering an investment in gold, you need to have a time horizon well beyond 2025. Just because prices have gone up recently, it doesn't automatically imply that gold will either fall or continue to rise sharply in the short term, so do your due diligence. Happy investing!
