Nifty futures fall, oil rises after US tariffs on India over Russian energy
The Nifty futures fell and crude prices rose after US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued an executive order imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods from India over its purchase of Russian energy. The Gift Nifty futures declined up to 0.9 per cent before recovering and were trading at 24,535 — down 95.5 points or 0.39 per cent — as of 8:45 pm. Oil prices climbed, with Brent crude trading at $69.2, up 0.85 per cent. The benchmark Nifty ended Wednesday's session at 24,574, down 75 points or 0.3 per cent. The latest tariffs are in addition to the 25 per cent tariffs already in place. 'The recovery of Gift Nifty indicates that the markets are likely to take Trump's announcement in their stride and are not shocked. Additional tariffs are more of a theatre and negotiation tool than an actual imposition,' said UR Bhat, co-founder, Alphaniti Fintech. 'We expect the markets to fall by 1–2 per cent in a knee-jerk reaction, but most would expect a resolution. Impact on GDP will be around 30–40 basis points if these tariffs are sustained for a year,' said Dhiraj Relli, managing director and chief executive officer, HDFC Securities. Trump on Tuesday had accused India of fuelling Russia's war machine. The US President had earlier escalated trade tensions by unilaterally imposing a 25 per cent tariff after months of negotiations. The additional tariffs come ahead of an August 8 deadline that Trump gave Russia to reach a truce with Ukraine. He has also threatened secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian energy.

Rupee recovers from record low level, ends 16 paise higher at 87.72 against US dollar
Mumbai, The rupee rebounded from record low level and closed 16 paise higher at 87.72 against the US dollar on Wednesday, supported by a volatile greenback and the Reserve Bank's decision to hold interest rate steady. However, increasing crude oil prices, negative domestic equity markets, and uncertainties around the US tariff on India restricted gains in the local unit, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 87.72 and moved in a range of 87.63-87.80 during the day before settling at 87.72, up 16 paise from its previous close. On Tuesday, the rupee lost 22 paise to close at a fresh all-time low of 87.88 against the US dollar. Its previous lowest closing level of 87.80 was recorded on July 30. The unit also revisited its lowest-ever intra-day level of 87.95 against the dollar, seen previously on February 10 this year. After three successive interest rate cuts, the Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday decided to keep policy rate unchanged at 5.5 per cent and retained the neutral stance, amid concerns over tariff uncertainties. Announcing the third bi-monthly monetary policy of the current fiscal, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the growth rate projection for FY26 has been retained at 6.5 per cent. "The rupee was in the narrow range with RBI protecting one end and FPIs buying for their dollar outflows, along with oil companies, before the due date of US secondary sanctions on Russia day after tomorrow ," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. "We wait for the penal tariffs US applies on India for purchasing oil from Russia as the rupee traverses through a narrow path today with something positive in the mind. For tomorrow, we expect rupee in the range of 87.25/88.00," he said. Meanwhile, Brent crude prices rose 1.45 per cent to USD 68.62 per barrel in futures trade. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was up marginally 0.01 per cent to 98.79 after falling overnight. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined 166.26 points to settle at 80,543.99, while the Nifty went down 75.35 points to close at 24,574.20. Foreign institutional investors offloaded equities worth ₹ 4,999.10 crore on a net basis on Wednesday, according to exchange data.
