Rupee sticks to muted price action, implied volatility retreats
The Indian rupee ended slightly higher on Wednesday, sticking to rangebound price action for a third consecutive session on two-sided client flows and the absence of cues to firm a directional bias on the currency. ADVERTISEMENT The dollar-rupee pair's implied volatility, a gauge of future expectations, has receded on the back of muted moves in the currency. The 1-month gauge eased to about 4.4%, the lowest in over one month. On the day, the rupee closed at 85.51 against the U.S. dollar, up slightly from its close of 85.6025 in the previous session. Asian currencies were largely steady as well while the dollar index was hovering sideways around the 99-handle. Mild dollar sales from foreign banks helped the rupee tick higher in early trading but routine corporate dollar demand stood in the way of the local currency extending its rise, a trader at a state-run bank said. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, ended slightly in the green, tracking a rise in regional equities as markets gave a guarded welcome to the latest signs of progress in trade talks between the United States and China. ADVERTISEMENT "The dollar remains one of the best gauges of trade sentiment. While it has held up generally well early this week, it hasn't built on the late-week momentum following the US-China meeting announcement," ING Bank said in a note. Worries about the impact of wide-ranging U.S. tariffs have weighed on the dollar this year and left it nursing losses of more than 8.5% against major peers. ADVERTISEMENT The focus now turns to U.S. consumer price inflation data, due later on Wednesday, which is expected to show month-on-month core consumer prices rose 0.3% in May, according to a Reuters poll, slightly higher than the 0.2% rise in the previous month.

Sensex today gains over 100 points, Nifty near 25,150 amid gains in RIL, IT stocks; OMCs outperform
Stock market today: The Indian stock market closed mixed in Wednesday's trading session, with large-cap stocks outperforming their mid- and small-cap counterparts. Although benchmark indices ended in the green, they closed well off their intraday highs as profit-booking continued in financial and FMCG stocks. However, gains in IT and OMC stocks lent support to the indices, helping them end the session with modest gains. The Nifty 50 settled 0.15% higher at 25,141, closing above the 25,000 mark for the third consecutive session, while the Sensex gained 123 points, or 0.15%, to end at 82,515. In contrast, the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices declined over 0.50%. Participants remain slightly cautious amid mixed global cues, and the divergent trend among index heavyweights continues to weigh on overall sentiment. Among large-cap stocks, all three oil marketing companies—IOC, HPCL, and BPCL—ended the session with gains of up to 4%. The rally followed the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) projection that oil inventories will rise by an average of 0.8 million barrels per day in 2025, which is 0.4 million bpd higher than last month's estimate. The EIA cited slowing demand growth and expectations that supply will outpace consumption due to OPEC+'s planned production hike. Domestic tech stocks witnessed healthy buying on a volatile day, as U.S. and Chinese officials agreed on a framework to revive their trade truce and address China's export restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets. Meanwhile, Indian and U.S. officials made progress in bilateral trade talks held in New Delhi, discussing key areas such as industrial goods, agriculture, tariff reductions, and non-tariff barriers, Reuters reported, citing Indian government sources. On the economic front, the World Bank, in its Global Economic Prospects—June 2025 report, projected India's economy to grow slightly faster at 6.5% in FY27 and 6.7% in FY28. However, it lowered its global growth forecast to 2.3% for the year, citing escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainty.
