Anant Raj, DLF, Sobha fall up to 3% as realty stocks resume losing streak
Real Estate stocks in focus today: Domestic real estate stocks witnessed another round of selling pressure in Thursday's trading session, as the Nifty Realty index tumbled 2% to end the day at 1,006, extending its decline for the fourth straight session amid weak global cues and profit booking. All 10 constituents of the index ended the session in the red, with Anant Raj emerging as the top laggard, falling 3% to ₹ 556 apiece. It was followed by Phoenix Mills, Godrej Properties, DLF, Brigade Enterprises, Macrotech Developers, and Sobha, all of which declined over 2%. Real estate stocks had seen a stellar rally last week following the RBI's deeper-than-expected repo rate cut of 50 basis points and an unexpected CRR cut of 100 basis points. The move boosted investor sentiment, as lower interest rates potentially spur residential demand across major cities and ease borrowing costs for developers, aiding project financing and expansion. Following the RBI's double bonanza on Friday, the Nifty Realty index jumped 5%, emerging as the top-performing sector. In fact, the stocks had already been on a strong upward trajectory ahead of the RBI MPC meeting, driven by expectations of a continued rate-easing cycle, a trend that only accelerated after the policy announcement. From its April lows, the index has rallied 31%, making the real estate sector one of the biggest turnaround stories of 2025. However, the sharp gains may prompt investors to book profits, contributing to the ongoing decline in stock prices. Indian stock markets came under significant selling pressure in today's session, with broad-based declines triggered by weak global cues that weighed on investor sentiment, sending the Nifty 50 and Sensex down over 1%. Tensions between the US and Iran flared up after recent media reports suggested that the US is preparing a partial evacuation of personnel in the Middle East, following Iran's threat to strike US bases if nuclear negotiations fail. Further pressure came as US President Donald Trump announced plans to send formal letters to key trading partners within the next one to two weeks, outlining unilateral tariffs aimed at pressuring countries into trade agreements. Despite the tough rhetoric, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled a potential extension of the current 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries showing 'good faith' in ongoing trade talks. While Trump said a framework on tariff rates had been reached to revive the fragile trade truce with China, the lack of specifics kept markets on edge, and China has yet to officially confirm any details about the trade deal. Even as the framework is being finalized, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Wednesday that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports would remain at current levels.

Rupee ends a tad lower, hurt by corporate dollar bids, outflows
MUMBAI, June 12 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee weakened slightly on Thursday, pressured by corporate dollar demand and likely portfolio outflows even as broad-based dollar weakness boosted its regional peers. The rupee closed at 85.60 against the U.S. dollar, down 0.1% from its close at 85.51 in the previous session. Asian currencies rose with the Taiwanese dollar leading gains with a 1.6% rise while the offshore Chinese yuan rose 0.2%. The dollar index, meanwhile, fell 0.4% to 98, its lowest level in over a month. The rupee was unable to benefit from a broadly weaker dollar in the face of dollar bids from local companies and foreign banks, likely on behalf of custodial clients, traders said. The local currency has been a laggard among its regional peers over 2025 as well, with analysts citing India's external investment deficit among the hurdles that have held it back. On the day, India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, fell about 1% each on the day, as ambiguity over the U.S-China trade deal and rising Middle East tensions dampened risk appetite. Crude oil prices pulled back on the day after rising over 4% in the previous session in light of Iran's threat to strike U.S. bases in the Middle East region if nuclear talks fail. "Higher oil prices are a dollar positive by way of the U.S. comparative advantage in energy independence," ING Bank said in a note. "Any further developments here could see the dollar favoured for its liquidity – although the yen and Swiss franc would be in demand too," ING said. Dollar-rupee forward premiums, meanwhile, ticked up on the back of a rise in bets on a rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September after data released on Wednesday showed that U.S. consumer prices rose less-than-expected in May.
