Rupee falls 2 paise to close at 86.07 against U.S. dollar
The rupee gave up its gains and settled for the day lower by 2 paise at 86.07 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, on recovery in global crude oil prices and the U.S. Dollar index. A strong show in the domestic equity markets prevented steep losses in the local unit, forex traders said. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 86.00 against the U.S. dollar and traded in the range of 85.79-86.14 before settling at 86.07 (provisional), down 2 paise from its previous close. Rupee opened in the positive on a surge in domestic markets and improved global risk sentiments. Ceasefire between Israel and Iran has led to rise in risk appetite. The local unit had logged its steepest single-day gain in nearly five years on Tuesday to end 73 paise higher at 86.05 against the greenback. "The rupee made a high of 85.79 before oil companies stepped in and took it lower to 86.13 with the market still sceptical of the Iran-Israel ceasefire," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. "We await the current account data from the RBI to gauge how it performed during 2024-25, while the IIP data is also due to be announced today (Wednesday)," he said, adding that the rupee is expected in the range of 85.75-86.50 on Thursday. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.09 per cent to USD 67.87 per barrel in futures trade after US President Donald Trump claimed to have brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading up 0.24 per cent at 98.09. Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, Sensex jumped 700.40 points to settle at 82,755.51, while Nifty surged 200.40 points to 25,244.75. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 5,266.01 crore on a net basis on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

Markets log gains for 2nd day; Sensex, Nifty surge nearly 1% on global rally
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surged nearly 1% on Wednesday (June 25, 2025), tracking a rally in global markets amid signs of easing tensions in the Middle East following a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Extending its previous day's rally, the 30-share Sensex jumped 700.40 points or 0.85% to settle at 82,755.51. During the day, it surged 760.8 points or 0.92% to 82,815.91. Similarly, the wider gauge NSE Nifty climbed 200.40 points or 0.80% to 25,244.75. "Indian equity markets have staged a recovery, supported by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a moderation in crude oil prices. While FIIs continue to withdraw capital, positive global cues are helping sustain domestic market momentum. Domestically, a favourable monsoon forecast, and moderating inflation are further underpinning the optimism," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. From the Sensex pack, Titan, Mahindra & Mahindra, Infosys, Power Grid, Tata Consultancy Services and Bharti Airtel were among the major gainers. On the other hand, Bharat Electronics, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Axis Bank were the laggards. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled higher. European markets were trading on a mixed note in mid-session trade. US markets ended significantly higher on Tuesday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 1.21% to $67.95 a barrel. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹5,266.01 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data. Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) bought stocks worth ₹5,209.60 crore. On Tuesday, the Sensex settled in the green, climbing 158.32 points or 0.19% to 82,055.11. On similar lines, the Nifty rose by 72.45 points or 0.29% to end at 25,044.35.

Little Pepe (LILPEPE) price prediction: What a small investment will return by the end of 2025
Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is positioning itself as the king of Layer 2 meme innovation. From the swamps of Solidity and jungles of JavaScript, Little Pepe has risen, wielding dank meme power, lightning-speed transactions, and a committed community ready to make history. Built on a next-gen Layer 2 architecture and inspired by the viral energy of classic meme culture, LILPEPE is proving it's more than a joke. It's a statement—a movement fueled by both utility and community. As whispers of LILPEPE's potential roar across social media platforms, early investors are wondering what a modest $250 bet could mean by the end of 2025. A Layer 2 Meme Token That's Built to Scale LILPEPE isn't just about humor—it's about high-performance blockchain infrastructure. Its native token, $LILPEPE, powers a futuristic Layer 2 network where speed meets security, and meme culture becomes a gateway to real DeFi utility. Think of ultra-low fees, Ethereum compatibility, and near-instant finality—all wrapped in a green pixelated cape. While many meme coins rely solely on virality, Little Pepe offers a comprehensive crypto experience, featuring swap protocols, on-chain governance, and community rewards. With its unique blend of performance and parody, it doesn't just scale Ethereum—it out-memes Ethereum. In short, Little Pepe is building a meme-powered financial ecosystem that works. Presale Momentum: Stage 3 Heating Up The numbers speak louder than memes. LILPEPE's presale has quickly gained traction among investors and whales alike. Stage 1 and Stage 2 have both sold out, raising over $1.6 million combined. Stage 3 is currently underway, offering tokens at just $0.0012, and has already pulled in nearly $300,000. With 26.5% of the 100 billion token supply allocated for the presale, it's clear that demand is outpacing expectations. Crypto insiders are taking note. LILPEPE's upcoming listing on two top centralised exchanges (CEXs) is generating buzz, with many predicting a significant price rally once trading opens. Social sentiment is sky-high, and prominent Telegram and YouTube influencers have begun backing the project, hinting that it could follow in the footsteps of early DOGE and SHIB success stories. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Price Prediction: Here's the Math Crypto is no stranger to jaw-dropping returns, and analysts believe LILPEPE is well-positioned to deliver one of the most impressive runs of this cycle. A small investment of $250 at the current presale price of $0.0012 fetches over 208,000 LILPEPE tokens. Now consider this: prominent traders and market researchers forecast a possible 320,000% surge for LILPEPE by Q4 2025—a projection rooted in its low market cap, viral growth model, and Layer 2 blockchain fundamentals. At that scale, LILPEPE would reach a price of nearly $3.84, resulting in a $250 investment turning into approximately $800,000. That's not speculation for the sake of hype. With LILPEPE combining meme potential and real-world blockchain utility, this kind of price growth—while extreme—is not without precedent. Remember SHIB's historic 46,000,000% surge? In the wild world of crypto, meme tokens with momentum can become wealth machines for early holders. A Meme Coin for the Meta Age LILPEPE isn't trying to be the next Bitcoin. It's not even trying to be the next SHIB. It's carving out a new identity as the meme token that understands the assignment: blend entertainment with infrastructure. The memes aren't just for laughs—they're the marketing engine for a product that offers real value in the decentralised world. It's smart Layer 2 design makes transactions almost free. Its staking and reward mechanics foster long-term holding. Its roadmap targets a younger, meme-savvy audience that has grown tired of rug pulls and ghost developers. Final Thoughts: Will You Ride the Wave or Watch It Pass? Right now, there's no better underdog with sharper teeth and a louder croak than Little Pepe. For just $250, early investors are buying more than just tokens—they're buying into a narrative, a community, and a tech stack that could redefine what a meme coin can achieve. With CEX listings imminent, its presale stages closing quickly, and price predictions that stretch into the stratosphere, the question isn't 'Can LILPEPE make it?' The real question is: Will you be in before the rocket takes off? For more information about Little Pepe (LILPEPE) visit the links below: Website: Whitepaper: Telegram: Twitter/X:
