A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,

Today is THURSDAY, 24th JULY 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ... As I scan the world, national, regional, vernacular, hyperlocal news headlines, what is buzzing the most in the Indian sub-continent is the news of Ambani’s Reliance In Focus As EU Warns Refiners Using Russia Oil Reliance, a mega refiner owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and other Indian processors have been among the world’s top beneficiaries of Moscow’s war in Ukraine. Reliance bought Abu Dhabi’s Murban crude in a rare purchase late last week, traders said, adding that it picked up the cargo soon after Friday’s sanction package. The private refiner isn’t a regular buyer of the UAE grade, a premium crude that tends to be costlier than its regular appetite of Russian Urals and heavier Middle Eastern varieties.

Meanwhile, lets take a look at what is buzzing across the World, Nation and State.

Market Review: Indian Markets Rally on Global Trade Optimism, Sectoral Strength – July 23, 2025
As the trading session closed on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, Indian equity markets painted a positive picture, buoyed by optimism over global trade developments and selective sectoral strength. The BSE Sensex surged 539.83 points or 0.66% to close at 82,726.64, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 159 points or 0.63% to settle at 25,219.90, marking a strong recovery as the Nifty crossed its 20-day exponential moving average for the first time since July 11. Stock Market Live Updates: Sensex, Nifty close firm on optimism over global trade developments. However, broader markets showed mixed performance, with the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index up 0.24% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index marginally higher by 0.05%, reflecting cautious undertones amid selective buying. Let’s dive into the day’s performance across various market segments, key movers, and pivotal events that shaped the session.Equity Markets: A Rebound Fueled by Global CuesIndian equity markets staged a robust comeback, driven by positive global trade developments, particularly hopes of easing US-India trade tensions as the 90-day tariff extension period nears its end. The Sensex and Nifty’s gains were supported by strong performances in auto, IT, and financial sectors, with selective buying in large-cap stocks like ICICI Bank (up 0.80%) and Titan Company (up 0.57%). However, the broader market lagged, with mid- and small-cap indices underperforming frontline indices, signaling investor caution amid mixed global cues and impending corporate earnings.
Key Gainers and Losers (NSE):
  • Top Gainers: Eternal (Zomato parent) soared 10.42%, driven by stellar Q1 results and a Rs 40,000 crore wealth creation for shareholders over two sessions Stock Market Live: BSE, NSE Share Price Live. ICICI Bank and Titan Company also featured prominently.
  • Top Losers: IndusInd Bank fell 1.50%, Bajaj Finserv dropped 1.36%, and Tata Motors declined 1.29%, reflecting concerns over asset quality and supply chain issues in the auto sector.
Key Gainers and Losers (BSE):
  • Top Gainers: Eternal led with a 10.42% surge, followed by Dalmia Bharat (up 2.99%) and JK Lakshmi Cement (up 1.38%), with the BSE IPO index rising 0.80%.
  • Top Losers: IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finserv, and Tata Motors mirrored NSE losses, with selective selling in auto and financial stocks dragging performance.
NSE Indices Performance:
  • Nifty 50: Up 0.63% at 25,219.90, supported by gains in auto, IT, and financials, with key support levels at 25,080 and resistance at 25,250-25,300.
  • Nifty Bank: Rose 0.80% to 57,401.00, driven by optimism in PSU banks and selective buying in private banks like ICICI Bank.

BSE Indices Performance:
  • Sensex: Climbed 0.66% to 82,726.64, with 1,856 stocks advancing against 2,106 declining.
  • S&P BSE Mid-Cap: Up 0.24%, underperforming frontline indices but showing selective strength.

  • BSE IPO: Rose 0.80%, led by strong performances from Swiggy (up 5.92%), One Mobikwik Systems (up 4.87%), and Sambhv Steel Tubes (up 4.55%).
Commodity Markets: Technical Glitch Halts MCX TradingThe commodity market faced disruptions as the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) experienced a technical glitch, halting trading in key commodities like gold, silver, and crude oil. Prior to the halt, crude oil futures showed stability, with September Brent at $67.14 (up 0.04%) and August WTI at $65.47 (up 0.03%). On MCX, July crude oil futures traded at ₹5610, down 0.09%, and August futures at ₹5518, down 0.11%, reflecting flat performance amid US ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas. The glitch underscored vulnerabilities in India’s commodity trading infrastructure, potentially dampening investor sentiment.Money Markets: Rupee Holds Ground, RBI Intervention KeyThe Indian rupee strengthened marginally to 85.93 against the US dollar, up 11 paise, despite pressures from rising crude oil prices and a stronger dollar. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) interventions provided crucial support, with the central bank injecting Rs 50,000 crore via a two-day variable rate repo (VRR) as call rates climbed above the repo rate. The USD/INR rate stood at 86.1, reflecting cautious optimism in money markets.Fund Markets: IPOs and Mutual Funds in FocusThe fund market saw significant activity, with the GNG Electronics IPO, priced at ₹225-237, fully subscribed within an hour, booked over 4 times, and showing a grey market premium (GMP) surge. The IPO, aimed at capitalizing on demand for refurbished PCs, raised ₹138 crore from anchor investors. Meanwhile, mutual funds continued to focus on large-cap stocks for stability, with SIP accounts reaching 9.06 crore and AUM at ₹14.61 lakh crore as of May 2025, with 41% of flows from B-30 locations. Jio BlackRock’s entry into the mutual fund space is expected to drive growth, though performance will be key.Bond Markets: Sustainability-Linked Bonds ShineThe bond market saw a landmark event with Vertis Infrastructure Trust raising ₹900 crore through India’s largest Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) issuance, anchored by the International Finance Corporation. This move highlighted growing global confidence in India’s ESG-financing ecosystem. However, global bond yields, such as Japan’s 10-year JGB at 1.595%, signaled caution amid geopolitical and trade uncertainties.Crypto Markets: Bitcoin Surges to New HighsBitcoin continued its historic rally, surging past $123,000 in July 2025, fueled by institutional investment, corporate adoption, and favorable US regulations on digital assets and stablecoins. Experts suggest the peak is yet to come, with altcoins also showing promise. The rally provided a positive spillover effect on risk assets, indirectly supporting Indian equity sentiment.Timeline of Key News and Events (July 23, 2025, IST)
  • 06:08 AM: GNG Electronics IPO subscription opens, fully subscribed within an hour.
  • 09:50 AM: Nifty 50 trades down 0.22% at 25,581.75, Sensex sheds 0.26% at 83,840.33, reflecting early caution.
  • 10:15 AM: Paytm shares decline 3% due to profit-taking ahead of Q1 earnings, expected to show a narrowed net loss of Rs 126 crore.
  • 12:00 PM: MCX faces technical glitch, halting commodity trading in gold, silver, and crude oil.
  • 03:00 PM: BSE reports 1,856 stocks advancing, 2,106 declining, and 179 unchanged; BSE IPO index up 0.80%.
  • 05:16 PM: NSE India posts market update, confirming Nifty 50’s close above 25,219.90.
  • 05:42 PM: Sensex closes at 82,726.64 (up 0.66%), Nifty at 25,219.90 (up 0.63%), with Nifty Bank up 0.80%.
Commentary: What Drove the Markets?The Indian markets’ resilience on July 23, 2025, can be attributed to several factors. First, optimism over global trade developments, particularly hopes of a US-India trade agreement, countered earlier fears of tariff hikes, as Goldman Sachs predicted a 15% US tariff rate increase. Second, sectoral strength in auto, IT, and financials, coupled with standout performances like Eternal’s, fueled bullish sentiment. However, the MCX glitch highlighted operational risks in commodity markets, while broader market caution persisted due to mixed global cues and upcoming earnings season volatility. The rupee’s stability, backed by RBI interventions, and the bond market’s ESG focus underscored India’s growing appeal as an investment destination. Crypto’s rally added a layer of risk-on sentiment, indirectly supporting equities.
Looking ahead, investors will watch Q1 earnings, industrial production data, and global trade negotiations closely. The Nifty’s ability to hold above 25,000 and the Sensex’s steady climb signal cautious optimism, but selective stock-picking and sectoral rotation will be key as volatility looms with the monthly derivatives expiry. For now, India’s markets remain a beacon of resilience in a globally uncertain landscape.
