Global stock index sinks with dollar, bond yields after weak US jobs data
By Sinéad Carew and Samuel Indyk NEW YORK/LONDON -MSCI's global equities index fell on Friday and the dollar took a dive after weaker than expected U.S. jobs data ramped up expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts in September as investors also considered U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcements. U.S. Treasury yield moved sharply lower after the Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added 73,000 nonfarm payrolls last month, below the 110,000 expected by economists surveyed by Reuters. July unemployment rose up to 4.2%. June's job growth was revised sharply lower to 14,000 from 147,000. After the data, traders were betting on a 69% probability for a September rate cut compared with 37.7% on Thursday, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. "The market is reacting to the possibility of the economy flipping into recession. The weak jobs data is piling on to weak earnings reports and weak guidance from some corporations," said Luke Tilley, Chief Economist, Wilmington Trust. But Tilley said perspective is also important when looking at Friday's moves since the market has risen sharply since around mid-April when Trump announced tariff pauses. Investors may be "repositioning around what had been a really strong run and just taking some chips off the table in light of this morning's data," he said. On Wall Street at 11:32 a.m. the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 640.77 points, or 1.46%, to 43,488.20, the S&P 500 fell 105.82 points, or 1.66%, to 6,233.84 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 459.00 points, or 2.17%, to 20,663.45. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 1.81%, suggesting its biggest daily drop since April 9. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe fell 12.34 points, or 1.33%, to 917.28, putting it on track for its biggest daily drop since mid-April. The softer data added to losses for the global index , which was already losing ground after a host of tariff announcements from Trump the day before. Trump ordered tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on U.S. imports from several major trading partners. He increased duties on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% for all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. He said a 25% rate for India's U.S.-bound exports, 20% for Taiwan's, 19% for Thailand's and 15% for South Korea's. However, Mexico got a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs to allow for deal talks. In currencies, the greenback reversed course to fall sharply after the data due to increased expectations for rate cuts. Earlier it had found support in fading hopes for U.S. rate cuts. The dollar index <=USD>, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, fell 1% to 99.03. The euro was up 1.11% at $1.1542 while against the Japanese yen , the dollar weakened 1.76% to 148.08. The Bank of Japan held interest rates steady on Thursday and revised up its near-term inflation expectations, but Governor Kazuo Ueda sounded a little dovish in the press conference. Sterling strengthened 0.32% to $1.3247 and the Canadian dollar strengthened 0.44% versus the greenback to C$1.38 per dollar. U.S. Treasury yields plunged after the jobs data and the increase in bets that the Fed will resume interest rate cuts in September. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell 11.9 basis points to 4.241%, from 4.36% late on Thursday while the 30-year bond yield fell 6.6 basis points to 4.8191%. The 2-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations for the Federal Reserve, fell 21.6 basis points to 3.733%, from 3.951% late on Thursday. In energy markets, oil prices fell more than 2% after the jobs data and on the prospects of a possible increase in production by OPEC and its allies. Oil had settled 1% lower on Thursday. U.S. crude fell 2.66% to $67.42 a barrel and Brent fell to $69.72 per barrel, down 2.76% on the day. Elsewhere, gold prices rallied to a one-week high, after the weak jobs report boosted policy easing expectations and fresh tariff announcements also spurred safe-haven demand. Spot gold rose 1.83% to $3,350.10 an ounce.

Delhivery bets on rapid commerce for growth, logs ₹91 crore net profit in Q1
Logistics major Delhivery is accelerating its push into new-age delivery models, capitalizing on the rise of quick commerce and expanding its partial truckload (PTL) capabilities. In the first quarter (April-June) of FY26, the company made strategic investments of ₹ 14 crore into two emerging services: Rapid Commerce, a 2-hour delivery service, and Delhivery Direct, which is an on-demand intracity shipment service. 'The real opportunity lies in servicing large brands working with quick commerce platforms—whether FMCG, grocery, or packaged food by offering high-precision, appointment-based deliveries to—and returns from—dark stores and mother warehouses. Quick commerce has created a new channel and incremental demand. Though our entry is just 100 days old, it's already become an exciting growth driver within our PTL business,' said Sahil Barua, chief executive of Delhivery, in an April-June earnings call on Friday. Delhivery reported a 68.5% surge in net profit in April-June to ₹ 91 crore. The company's operating revenue increased by 6% year-on-year to ₹ 2,294 crore. Shares of Delhivery settled 1% lower at ₹ 429.85 apiece on the BSE on Friday. A partial truckload business is a logistics service model that sits between LTL (less-than-truckload) and FTL (full truckload). It caters to medium-sized shipments that don't require an entire truck but are too large or bulky for standard parcel delivery. He added that quick commerce, however, remains largely concentrated in grocery, packaged foods, and BPC (beauty and personal care) segments, and is primarily active in major urban centres. While it has likely had a notable effect on grocery GMV (gross merchandise value) and order volumes for large marketplaces, its influence on broader e-commerce is expected to be limited. This is due to the inherent challenge of balancing wide product assortments with rapid delivery timelines, especially across increasingly dispersed urban geographies. More significantly, the bulk of e-commerce volumes comes from small cities (tier 2–4) and is fuelled by low-velocity, long-tail categories like apparel, accessories, and home and lifestyle products. These categories have unpredictable demand patterns and are not easily or economically suited to stocking in small quantities across dark stores. As a result, the company expects minimal impact from quick commerce on their overall volume trajectory moving forward. Low-velocity, long-tail refers to slower-selling, niche products like apparel that have unpredictable demand but collectively drive a large share of e-commerce volumes, especially in small cities. Delhivery's Rapid network currently operates 20 dark stores across three cities, offering shared inventory infrastructure and 1–3 hour fulfillment for direct-to-consumer brands. Plans are in place to scale this to 35–40 dark stores across six cities by Q4 FY26. While expected to remain a niche offering within Delhivery's broader Express portfolio, Rapid could generate ₹ 80–100 crore in revenue over time, the company said in a shareholder's letter. 'The network will serve as a foundation for Rapid B2B fulfillment, targeting time-critical segments such as auto parts, electronics spares, tyres, specialty chemicals, lubricants, and select FMCG products,' Barua said during the earnings call. Delhivery Direct, the company's consumer-facing app for on-demand inter-city shipping, has now expanded to include intra-city delivery as well. As these offerings are still in early stages, further investment—particularly in fleet capacity and demand generation for Delhivery Direct—is expected through FY26, said Barua. In January-March of FY25, Delhivery turned profitable for the first time, posting a net profit of ₹ 72.6 crore as revenue rose 6% year-on-year. Delhivery acquired rival logistics firm Ecom Express in an all-cash deal worth ₹ 1,407 crore in April. 'Obvious immediate impact of the Ecom acquisition will be clear in the Q2 numbers', said Barua.

Trade tensions: India GDP may fall below 6.2% in FY26 if US tariff stays; S&P flags agriculture, Russia hurdles
India's GDP growth could fall below 6.2% in 2025-26 if the 25% tariff imposed by the US remains in effect beyond September, S&P Global Market Intelligence warned in a report released Friday. The ratings agency had earlier projected India's GDP at 6.2% for FY26, already a decline from 6.5% in FY25, and said the forecast could be revised further downward if tariff barriers persist. 'This projection is likely to be adjusted downward if the 25% tariff is implemented. Its application would leave India relatively disadvantaged versus regional competitors that have secured a lower tariff rate,' the S&P report said, as quoted ANI. According to the report, India's refusal to offer market access to US agriculture and dairy products remains a key sticking point preventing a bilateral trade agreement. Farmers, being a significant electoral constituency, are central to New Delhi's reluctance to open up these sectors, S&P noted. 'India is highly reluctant to offer market access for the US in the agriculture and dairy products sectors, making it difficult for India to reduce its tariffs on US exports of soy, corn, wheat and rice,' the report said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The report also flagged concerns over India's exposure to Section 232 'national security' tariffs on exports such as electronics and pharmaceuticals. These two categories account for 12.3% and 17.8% of Indian exports to the US, respectively. Unlike EU nations that have received exemptions or reduced tariff rates on these products, Indian exporters may face a competitive disadvantage unless similar terms are negotiated. S&P further cited India's continued imports of Russian oil and defence equipment as additional complications in the ongoing negotiations. While India may be open to increasing imports of US crude oil, it would resist doing so solely in response to US demands. However, the report said India is more likely to boost imports of US liquefied natural gas (LNG), given domestic demand growth and rising American capacity. The US recorded a trade deficit of $45.7 billion with India in 2024. Trump has threatened to impose penalties on Indian imports over its trade with Russia, although details are yet to be clarified.
