THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH (GLOBAL EDITION)
as on 23rd SEP, 2025, TUESDAY
___________________

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

Today is TUESDAY, 23rd SEPTEMBER, 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ... As I sit down to write the dispatch, from hyper-local news developments of demolitions to clear land on the extreme corner of West Coast in India at the Hindu Pilgrim Site DWARKA till global headlines of recognizing Palestine as state, minute to minute developments in US H1B Visa fees, surrounding narrative, redefined political or apolitical versions, impact on the IT Sector of India and allied developments continue dominating the news flow.

Erratic rains, discounted cars and two-wheelers due to slab changes in GST (Goods and Service Tax) rates in India, poll smeared political masala flavored with joy of festivity, as Shradhya Navratri in Gujarat – 9 nights - the longest dance festival on the earth, Durga Pooja in West Bengal and Raam Leela Celebrations have kicked off in several parts of North India.

Allowing business to operate late-night across the nation, with slashed GST rates and sloganengineering with slogans like, “Navratri Ki Bhakti with (Operation) Sindoor Ki Shakti …” is the narrative bonded strongly across several media and social media platforms in form of news-video reels, news plates, #Watch tagged social media posts etc etc.

How do India Markets look now, bird's eye view on the India Markets ...

BIRD'S EYE VIEW : INDIA MARKETS

Indian markets — summary for Tuesday, 23 September 2025

Equities (Cash and Derivatives)

What happened: Benchmarks opened mixed-to-positive, then slipped; Sensex closed around the 82k area and Nifty near 25,100–25,200 on profit-booking and sector rotation, with IT and Pharma as primary drags while Metals, Auto and select cyclicals outperformed.
Why it moved: A sharp one‑time increase in the US H‑1B visa fee and uncertainty about India–US trade/tariff talks hit IT export sentiment and triggered FII selling; domestic mutual fund/DII buying limited the decline and supported selective pockets.
Market internals & positioning: Higher India VIX and put-call structures showed a cautious, range‑bound bias; Bank Nifty traded in a consolidative band as traders respected 55k–56k option interest levels.

Sources: Goodreturns, Moneycontrol live updates, Economic Times live blog, MSN/preview commentary.

Commodities — agriculture, precious & base metals, energy

Agriculture: Agri futures were broadly steady to marginally firmer into festival demand and GST‑rate changes that supported consumption cues (reports flagged selective strength in seasonal crops).
Precious metals: Gold and silver futures hit fresh all‑time highs on MCX (gold above ~₹1.13 lakh/10g; silver at record/kg levels) driven by safe‑haven flows, Fed easing expectations and a softer dollar.
Base / non‑precious metals: Copper, aluminium and zinc showed mixed intraday moves; copper edged lower on position trimming while nickel and select industrial metals stayed bid on supply concerns and speculative flows.
Energy basket: Crude futures traded lower intraday on softer demand cues and inventory considerations while domestic MCX crude reflected modest weakness; natural gas was pressured by near‑term demand softness.

Sources: Angel One commodity morning note, Upstox commodity update, Geojit intraday technicals, IIFL commodity pages.

Currency (INR)

What happened: The rupee weakened to an intraday all‑time low near ₹88.50 per USD on Tuesday, slipping ~0.25 earlier in the day before central bank activity was reported.
Why it moved: FX selling reflected risk aversion after the US H‑1B fee shock and tariff uncertainty; large FII equity outflows and dollar demand for imports also pressured the INR; RBI/authorized intervention was indicated in market reports to stabilise extreme moves.

Sources: The Hindu rupee report, Onmanorama market update.

Fixed income / Bond market

What happened: 10‑year G‑Sec yields were around the mid‑6% area (near ~6.5%), with yields little changed to marginally firmer as markets balanced global Fed moves and domestic flows.
Why it moved: Global liquidity easing (Fed cut) supported bond prices, while domestic supply calendars and FPI rotation between equities and debt capped sharp moves; RBI liquidity operations left net injection/absorption figures in focus for money markets.

Sources: TradingEconomics / India 10‑yr commentary, RBI money‑market operations release, Investing.com historical yields.

Money market / Liquidity

What happened: Overnight and triparty repo activity remained the dominant liquidity channels; weighted overnight rates tracked policy corridor with active LAF and SDF operations reported by RBI for the day.
Why it moved: RBI fine‑tuning operations and the aggregate net liquidity stance reflected regular government cash flows and market turnover; banks used MSF/SDF windows as needed and net liquidity injections/absorptions set day‑end short‑term rates.

Source: RBI press release on money market operations.

Crypto market (India viewpoint)

What happened: Crypto markets in India were range‑bound with Bitcoin and major altcoins consolidating; institutional flows into spot ETFs globally remained an overarching driver but domestic volumes reflected cautious positioning under local tax/TDS regime.
Why it moved: Macro focus on Fed policy and risk‑on signals supported crypto risk assets globally, while Indian traders remained sensitive to domestic taxation/TDS and regulatory clarity; positioning shows heavier BTC spot interest versus mixed ETH/altcoin flows in derivatives and ETFs.

Sources: CoinSwitch/Coinbase crypto positioning and India updates.

Mutual funds / Funds market

What happened: Domestic mutual funds and DIIs continued to be net buyers, offsetting part of FII selling in equities and providing near‑term liquidity into the market; sectoral allocations shifted toward cyclicals and infra/auto themes in reported flows.
Why it moved: DIIs/MFs have been active buyers throughout September as FPIs rotated out of equities into debt; this dynamic cushioned benchmark falls and concentrated volatility in export‑sensitive sectors (IT) and stocks directly affected by policy headlines.

Sources: Matasec fortnightly flow review, Ventura/Ventura daily updates on stock flow and sector action.

Key cross‑market drivers on 23 Sep 2025

US policy & headline risk: H‑1B fee spike and trade/tariff headlines weighed on India‑sensitive sectors, especially IT and exporters.
FII flows and allocation shift: Continued equity outflows by FPIs vs. DII/MF buying remained the dominant structural theme for price action.
Fed and safe‑haven dynamics: Fed rate path and attendant dollar moves supported gold/silver while influencing bond yields and cross‑asset risk appetite.
Domestic liquidity and RBI operations: RBI LAF/MSF/SDF operations shaped short‑term money markets and helped cap aberrant moves in FX and rates.

Final note: sector dispersion was notable — IT and Pharma underperformed on policy/headline risk while cyclical metals, autos and select energy names showed relative strength; investors and traders were operating in a tactical, range‑bound mode pending clarity on US‑India trade and H‑1B implementation updates.

WORLD MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK

INTRODUCTORY PART (WORLD MARKETS REVIEW)

Global summary (22 September 2025)

Overall: risk-on to mixed across regions; equities showed profit-taking in tech and export-sensitive names while cyclical/energy names outperformed; safe-haven buying lifted gold and compressed sovereign yield moves after the Fed’s modest easing narrative and large options expiries amplified volatility in crypto and some commodities.

Region	Equities	Agriculture	Precious metals	Base / non-precious metals	Energy & Power	FX / Currencies	Crypto	Bonds / Money markets	Mutual / Fund flows
South Pacific (Australia / NZ)	Mixed; local indices flat to modestly lower	Stable	Gold bid (global)	miners firmer	oil rangebound	AUD soft vs USD	muted	local bills steady	flows cautious
Asia (ex‑Japan)	India weaker (IT hit); China mixed; SE Asia mixed	agri soft on seasonal supply	gold up	copper firmer on demand talk	crude steadied	CNY steady; INR weakened	crypto sold off	Indian money market/liquidity stable	FIIs rotated; DIIs buying India
Eurasia / Russia & Central Asia	selective strength in energy-linked names	export-centric	safe‑haven demand	metals mixed	energy names firmer	currencies volatile	little direct crypto impact	sovereign yields mixed	oil-linked funds up
Middle East & Africa	oil/energy names strong	agri/local supply tight in places	gold supported	base metals mixed	oil stronger on geopolitics	regional FX stable vs USD	low activity	oil‑linked sovereign debt firm	sovereign/fiscal flows support

North America (US, Canada, Mexico)	US record highs in prior week then some consolidation; Canada softer	US agri futures steady	gold at or near highs	base metals mixed	WTI rangebound ~62–63	USD slightly softer on Fed path	crypto saw a sharp corrective leg	US Treasuries: yields rose then rebalanced	ETFs saw flows into BTC/ETH funds but volatility caused liquidation

Sources:

South Pacific (Australia / New Zealand)

Equities: both markets traded choppy with risk appetite muted; domestic PMIs and RBA caution limited AUD strength and equity upside.
Commodities: gold strength (global driver) helped miners; energy and base metals broadly steady into the session.

Asia (China, India, Korea, SE Asia, Japan separately noted)

India: benchmarks slipped on Monday after a sharp sell‑off in IT following a US H‑1B visa fee shock that raised cost and margin concerns for Indian IT exporters; rupee weakened and FIIs sold into the move while DIIs absorbed some flows.
China & East Asia: mixed—tech/AI rallies in parts of China but thinned breadth; PBoC steady policy kept CNY ranges narrow; commodity‑sensitive exporters saw selective buying.
Japan: BOJ holding and signalling ETF balance adjustments kept yields and the yen in focus, supporting some exporters but leaving markets rangebound.

Europe

Equities: modest weakness—defensives outperformed after mixed macro prints and continued geopolitical risk; ECB officials cautious on immediate easing, keeping yields supported in pockets.
Currencies: euro traded mixed vs the dollar as rate‑path expectations diverged with the Fed easing path already priced in elsewhere.

Middle East, Africa, Latin America

Energy producers and exporters outperformed where geopolitics or supply narratives supported crude and gas; sovereign and corporate bond spreads showed regional dispersion tied to fiscal/energy receipts.
Agriculture exporters saw idiosyncratic moves: weather, inventories and tariff/news headlines influenced local contracts rather than broad uniform moves.

North America (US, Canada, Mexico)

Equities: US had recently hit record highs; on Monday markets consolidated and tech/short‑duration risk showed rotation; profit‑taking and macro focus limited fresh buying.
Treasury / Bond markets: yields moved as markets digested Fed communications and options expiries; money markets and repo activity remained well‑supplied domestically but global liquidity dynamics were watched closely.
Crypto: major tokens slipped sharply on Monday with large liquidations and elevated volumes; Bitcoin and Ethereum fell mid‑single to double digits intraday amid a cascade of leveraged position liquidations and options/derivative expiries.

Commodities — sector notes

Agriculture: mixed with regional drivers (seasonal supply, Chinese demand) keeping prices patchy rather than uniformly directional.
Precious metals: gold traded at/near record highs on Fed easing expectations and risk‑off flows, reinforcing safe‑haven bids.
Base / non‑precious metals: copper and selective base metals were firmer on demand signals and speculative positioning, while some industrial metals were rangebound.
Energy: crude remained in a relatively narrow range (WTI ~62–63, Brent ~66–67) with geopolitics providing headline risk but inventories and distillate flows capping upside.

Currencies, Money markets and Bonds

USD/major pairs: the dollar was generally softer vs a few currencies as market pricing moved toward additional Fed easing later in the cycle while regional central banks remained cautious.
INR (example): USD/INR traded weaker on Monday with rates around the mid‑88s, reflecting FII flows and the H‑1B shock to sentiment; Indian money market operations and RBI liquidity were reported as functioning with expected repo/SDF operations that day.
Global bonds: sovereign curves were watchful—yields rose and rebalanced after central bank moves and risk repricing; investors tracked short‑end differentials closely for FX implications.

Crypto and Funds

Crypto: a broad corrective episode on 22 Sep saw heavy leveraged liquidations and large options expiries exacerbating downside; market cap fell materially intraday and many top altcoins were down sharply.
Funds / Flows: US spot BTC/ETH ETF inflows continued but were dwarfed by short‑term selling and liquidation events on Monday; traditional funds rotated into cyclical/commodity exposures where geopolitical or domestic catalysts existed.

Global EOD snapshot — Top gainers, top losers, turnover, advances/declines (session end — Mon 22 Sep 2025)

Note: below lists region-by-region end-of-day highlights. Where exchange-level EOD data was available in public market reports I cite it; where only thematic or index-level items were reported I summarize those moves without individual-ticker lists.

South Pacific (Australia — New Zealand)
- Top gainers / top losers: local reporting showed resource and energy names outperforming while some tech/exposure names lagged (miners and energy-led strength vs pockets of weakness in growth names).
- Turnover: markets traded with normal intraday volumes; Australian cash-market turnover moved in line with recent averages (no single unified global headline available in summary reports).
- Advances / declines: breadth mixed — miners helped advances while broader market breadth was roughly balanced (no single consolidated EOD advance/decline number in the day summaries I reviewed).
(No single-exchange EOD table was reported in the global summaries; regional coverage focused on sector winners rather than a single top-20 gainers/losers list for the whole South Pacific day.)

Asia (major exchanges: India, China, Japan, Korea, SE Asia)
- India (NSE / BSE) — clear EOD details:
  - Top gainers: Adani Enterprises, Eternal, Bajaj Finance, Adani Ports, UltraTech Cement among the strongest names on 22 Sep 2025.
  - Top losers: Tech Mahindra, TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCLTech were among the steepest decliners, driven by an H‑1B visa fee shock hitting IT names.
  - Daily turnover / most-active: heavy volumes in Infosys, Adani Enterprises, Tech Mahindra and others; intraday value across major Nifty names ran in the hundreds of crores for big caps (detailed per-stock value and volumes in market live reports).
  - Advances / declines (India intraday/EOD reporting): about 1,831 advances, 2,108 declines and ~122 unchanged on the BSE/NSE snapshot quoted in live coverage for the session.
  - Sources: Indian market live coverage and top‑gainers/losers lists.
- China / Japan / Korea / SE Asia — headline moves: mixed; selective tech and export names in China and Korea moved on company news and micro catalysts; Japan trade was rangebound with BOJ/ETF commentary in focus (regional write-ups were thematic rather than single exchange EOD top-20 tables in the global summaries).
References for Asia specifics: India top lists and breadth.

Eurasia (Russia & Central Asia)
- Market theme: energy/commodity-linked names outperformed where reporting noted stronger energy flows; equity breadth and turnover details were reported regionally by local exchanges but not consolidated in the global press summaries I reviewed.
(No single consolidated top‑20 EOD table available in the cited global summaries.)

Middle East & Africa
- Top movers: oil & gas and oil-linked equities were the primary gainers in session commentary; agricultural and local resource names showed mixed moves.
- Turnover / breadth: regional exchanges showed pockets of heavy activity in energy-linked sectors; global summaries emphasized sector direction rather than a centralized advance/decline table.
Europe
- Top gainers / losers: European trade on 22 Sep was modestly weaker overall with defensives outperforming; individual-country headlines cited banks/energy/defensive names as outperformers while cyclicals or rate-sensitive names lagged.
- Turnover / breadth: EU exchanges showed mixed breadth; no single consolidated global table was published in the sources I checked.
Latin America & Caribbean
- Top movers: commodity-exporting names (energy, metals, agriculture exporters) showed selective strength; exchange-level top‑gainers/lossers lists exist in local market reports but were not consolidated in the day’s global roundups.
North America (Mexico, US, Canada)
- United States (major EOD facts):
  - Indices: the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow finished the US session with gains; S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs that day (Nvidia, Apple and other large-cap tech/AI names led upside).
  - Top gainers: Nvidia led gains for the session after an AI-related announcement; Oracle and Apple were also notable winners in coverage of the day’s market leadership.
  - Top losers / sector weakness: there was idiosyncratic rotation; some rate-sensitive and mid/small-cap segments consolidated even as large-cap AI-related names pushed indices higher.
  - Turnover / breadth: US market coverage highlighted record closes and strong advance momentum; detailed NYSE/Nasdaq top‑20 gainers/losers and total advance/decline counts are available on exchange intraday reports and the CNBC market wrap.
  - Canada / Mexico: movers tracked global commodity and resource flows; Canada showed strength in resource names and miners, Mexico had mixed performance among exporters.
Reference for US EOD moves and leadership: CNBC market wrap.

Composite notes on turnover and advance/decline reporting
- India: explicit advance/decline numbers were published in live market coverage — ~1,831 advances vs ~2,108 declines for the session (India BSE/NSE snapshot). Top‑gainers and top‑losers lists for India were published by multiple outlets (AngelOne, ET Now, Moneycontrol) with per-stock volumes and value details.
- US: major outlets reported record closes for S&P and Nasdaq and named the session’s top contributors (Nvidia, Oracle, Apple) while trade-by-trade and exchange-level advance/decline totals are published on NYSE/Nasdaq daily data feeds (summary in CNBC wrap).
- Global: most international summaries in the sources focused on sector and index themes; local exchanges publish full top‑20 gainers/losers, turnover and advance/decline tables on their EOD pages (examples: NSE/BSE, NYSE, LSE, ASX). For a full, verifiable per-exchange table (top gainers/losers, cash turnover, total advances/declines) I can compile a consolidated EOD spreadsheet by pulling the official daily reports from each exchange (NSE, BSE, ASX, HKEX, SSE, TSE, KRX, LSE, Euronext, B3, TSX, NYSE/Nasdaq, etc.) and aggregate them into one regional sheet.

These are typically reported post-session by exchanges, with block/bulk deals more prominent in emerging markets like Asia and Latin America, while short selling is tracked via aggregate positions or daily volumes in mature markets like North America and Europe.

🔍 Commentary & Implications

Here are some observations and possible implications based on these events:

IT Sector Faces Policy Headwinds
The hike in U.S. H-1B visa fees seems to have triggered a strong negative reaction in Indian markets for IT firms. Given how many Indian companies rely on cross-border staffing and movement, this could reduce margins or complicate execution. Investors are likely to re-price risk in IT earnings forecasts. Stocks in that sector are under stress.
GST 2.0 & Festive Uptick in Consumption
Tax reform is aligned with the timing of the festival season. Lower tax slabs for snacks and sweets plus increased awareness campaigns (e.g., in Uttar Pradesh) are likely to stimulate retail demand. This may provide a cushion for consumer‐facing businesses, especially SMEs in food, sweets, snacks, agriculture, apparel.
Strategic Push for Clean Energy & Critical Minerals
India is proactively securing long term supply of lithium, copper etc., which are essential for EVs, batteries, and renewables. Given global supply chain volatility, this could be a critical move to reduce dependency and improve resilience in the clean tech sector.
Corporate Governance & Leadership Changes
Leadership change at IndusInd Bank reflects pressure on Indian banks (and especially private sector ones) to improve transparency and governance. Market confidence in such institutions depends not just on financial performance, but also on clarity of accounting and risk management.
Macroeconomic Sentiment
The indices ending lower suggests investor caution. Mid and small cap weakness, profit-booking, and sectoral drag from IT weigh on sentiment. However, gains in certain sectors like power, metals, and oil & gas may suggest rotation away from growth towards defensive or commodity/leverage sectors.
Political / Soft Power Moves
India’s assertion to host 2036 Olympics, sports governance issues, and cultural festivals all point to continued political investment into soft power, national image, community participation. These also may steer government spending and policy focus in the lead up to such large international events.
Public Safety / Governance Crises
Burning issues like building collapses and corruption allegations remain critical. The responsiveness of authorities will be watched closely. Public trust depends on swift redressal, especially when human lives are involved.

Here’s a focused timeline from Sep 22, 2025 IST, centering on finance / business / markets and state-level politics & crime with more sectoral breakdowns. Latest first.

🕒 Finance / Business / Markets Timeline (Sector-wise)

Time (IST)	Headline	Details / Sectoral Breakdown	Implications
~ 15:30-16:30	Stock Market Downturn, IT Sector Hit — “IT firms drag India’s stock benchmarks on new US visa fee structure” (Reuters)	Indian indices closed lower. The IT sub-index dropped ~3%. Major IT firms (Infosys, TCS, HCLTech, Wipro) lost ~2-3%. (Reuters)	Key risk: increased cost or friction for Indian tech firms working with US clients or depending on H-1B visas. Earnings forecasts may be lowered; investor sentiment in tech may remain weak.
~ 14:30-15:30	Core Infrastructure Sectors Rebound — “Infrastructure rebound: Core sectors grow 13-month high of 6.3% in August; coal, steel and cement lead the surge” (The Times of India)	The 8 core sectors (which include coal, steel, cement, electricity, crude oil, natural gas, fertilizers, refinery products) grew at 6.3% in August — a strong rise compared to July’s 3.7% and deep contraction a year earlier. Coal, steel, cement especially strong. (The Times of India)	Suggests an upturn in industrial activity. Boost for commodities, mining, cement and related construction sectors. Likely positive for stocks in metals, infrastructure, power. Could lead to investment in supply chain and manufacturing & construction demand.
~ 14:00-15:00	Adani Group Valuation Surge — “Adani valuation boost: Group firms gain Rs 1.78 lakh crore in two days; SEBI clearance fuels investor confidence” (The Times of India)	After SEBI cleared certain allegations related to Hindenburg case (i.e. dismissed or found no basis), investor confidence jumped. Adani group companies saw sharp market cap gains. (The Times of India)	Signals that regulatory clarity / legal risk reduction can reverse sentiment badly impacted by prior controversies. May also lead to rotation into Adani stocks; but investors will still watch for follow-through in corporate governance and performance.
~ 11:00-13:00	New CFO for IndusInd Bank amid Governance Pressure — “India’s IndusInd Bank names Viral Damania as CFO” (Reuters)	IndusInd appoints Viral Damania as CFO effective Sep 22. This follows a large accounting loss earlier in the year tied to derivative mis-accounting. (Reuters)	Important for banking sector governance and investor trust. Could help stabilize IndusInd’s reputation; market pricing of risk for private banks may adjust depending on how quickly issues are resolved.
~ 09:00-10:30	IPO Opens: Ganesh Consumer Products — “Ganesh Consumer Products IPO opens for subscription. Should you apply?” (The Economic Times)	IPO of ~₹409 crore (fresh issue + OFS) opens. Anchor investors (Ashish Kacholia-backed) are participating. Company is in packaged foods. (The Economic Times)	Suggests continued interest in consumer-facing IPOs. Festive demand (snacks, food products) likely driver. Retail participation risk, but anchor interest may provide confidence.
~ 07:30-09:00	Stocks to Watch / Weekly Picks — “Top stocks to buy: Stock recommendations for the week starting September 22, 2025 – check list” (The Times of India)	Motilal Oswal recommends Punjab National Bank (PNB) and Larsen & Toubro (L&T). PNB's strengths cited: improving asset quality, retail/MSME growth. L&T: execution profile & order pipeline. (The Times of India)	These picks suggest that financials (esp. banks with strong retail / MSME exposure) and infrastructure are viewed as favorable. Could see buying interest in those segments. Profile investors accordingly.
~ 07:00-08:30	Opening Weakness on Global / Policy Cues — “Stocks to Watch today … expected to open lower … US visa fee hike … mixed global cues” (Business Standard)	The market opened negative, anticipating spillovers from U.S. policy (H-1B visa fee hike), global growth concerns. Nifty futures and GIFT Nifty showing soft leads. (Business Standard)	Premarket sentiment was fragile; suggests investors were already pricing risk. Sectors exposed to global demand or regulatory/policy risk (IT especially) were vulnerable. Defensive or domestic consumption / infrastructure sectors might have outperformed.

🔍 State-Level Politics & Crime Timeline

IT sector is under pressure due to international policy moves (notably US visa fee hikes). This seems to be the largest immediate negative driver across markets.
Infrastructure / core sectors (coal, steel, cement) are showing signs of rebound. Good news for industrial companies and those linked to government spending.
Regulatory / legal risk plays a big role in valuation — as seen with Adani Group recovery after SEBI clearance, and the importance of governance in banking (IndusInd).
Consumer / IPOs remain active, especially in packaged goods, reflecting confidence in domestic demand, particularly with festivals around the corner.
State-proxy enforcement (crime control, public safety, women’s safety) is being emphasized ahead of festival season; this may influence local sentiment, mobility, spending especially in states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, MP. Law & order concerns can also feed into investment risk perceptions, especially in local business operations.

THE GLOBAL DYNAMICS

Below is a concise, sector-wise News-Commentary Timeline for Monday, 22 September 2025 (00:00–23:59 IST).

Times are shown in Indian Standard Time (IST) and items are ordered latest first (descending timeline) inside each regional block. I start from South Pacific (Australia–New Zealand), then Asia, EurAsia, Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America / Caribbean, and finish with North America (Mexico / US / Canada). Wherever available I’ve cited the original reporting — click the linked source in each paragraph to open the story.

South Pacific — Australia & New Zealand (IST = local time −4.5 to −5.5 hours)

Markets / Commodities (late afternoon trade): The S&P/ASX 200 closed higher (~+0.4%, ~8,811 pts) on Monday as miners and resources led gains (gold & uranium names strong) after global safe-haven flows and rising bullion prices; Reece jumped after a $250m buyback announcement. NZX50 finished weaker, retreating ~0.5–0.7% on the day. (Investing.com)

(Reuters)

Europe (IST)

Equity markets / Sector moves (late-session): European shares were broadly flat to slightly lower as gains in tech and mining offset weakness in automakers — Porsche/Volkswagen revised down EV profit outlooks and the auto sector underperformed; miners and chipmakers (ASML etc.) led pockets of strength. Investors awaited Fed commentary and upcoming central-bank meetings. (Reuters)
Macro / Banks: Euro-zone bank stocks fell modestly; takeover chatter and corporate actions (e.g., Sabadell / BBVA moves) added to selective moves. (Reuters)

Commodities / Precious Metals: Gold hit fresh record highs as investors priced in further rate cuts and safe-haven demand, supporting miners across global markets. (Reuters)
FX / Crypto: Dollar weakness into the session gave some respite to EM currencies; crypto markets followed risk-on flows — Bitcoin and broader crypto activity tracked the day’s risk tone and news flow (AI/tech headlines, macro). (Reuters)

Notes, Sources & How I compiled this

Time window: 00:00–23:59 IST on Monday, 22 September 2025. I pulled reporting from Reuters, regional market outlets (Moneycontrol, ANZ/Australia outlets, NZX and Australian market reporting), Investopedia/WSJ market live coverage and others to form this sector-wise timeline. Major load-bearing items cited above are: Reuters (global & Europe pieces), Reuters India (borrowing), Moneycontrol (India market close), Reuters/WSJ/Investopedia (US tech & market moves), and Reuters on gold. (Reuters)

Here’s a market-only timeline of intraday index moves + top sector gainers & losers for India, Europe, and the US on 22 September 2025 (IST times), from the available data. Minute-by-minute detail is limited by reporting frequency, but I’ve pulled together what’s available.

Sector gainers: some industrial / infrastructure / energy / metals (commodities, mining) saw relative strength. (Reuters)

Europe

Time (IST)*	Index / Move	Sector / Stock Highlights
Afternoon Europe session (~early/mid-day IST)	STOXX 600 flat / marginal decline	Automakers sharply down: Porsche & Volkswagen dropped ~6% each after cutting outlooks. (Reuters)
Same time	Tech / Mining outperform	Tech up ~0.9%, led by chipmakers (ASML +3.2%, ASMI +2.1%). Mining up ~1.6%, led by Fresnillo (~+4.1%), Glencore, Rio Tinto. (Reuters)
London / UK (similar time)	FTSE 100 slightly down (~0.1-0.2%)	Automakers weak; mining names strong. Sterling strength weighed on exporters. (Reuters)

*Exact minute by minute not reported in Europe summaries; these are summary moves over the session.

United States

Time (IST)	Index / Move	Sector / Stock Highlights
Pre-market / early session	Futures & market open expectations cautious	Visa policy uncertainty (H-1B fee hike) weighs on tech & outsourcing-exposed names. (Reuters)
Later morning to midday	S&P 500 / Nasdaq holding near highs / modest gains	Tech / Consumer Discretionary leading; Apple rises (~2.4%) on strong iPhone demand; Nvidia strong due to AI expectations. Some drag from sectors sensitive to labor / regulatory risk. (Reuters)
Close / mid-to-later afternoon (U.S. sell-side)	S&P 500 & Nasdaq record or near-record highs; Dow more muted	Among sector losers: regulatory/visa-impact sectors, some financials lag; among gainers: Big Tech, consumer names, AI-/chip-exposed stocks. (Reuters)

Key Takeaways / Patterns

IT / Technology was the biggest loser in India: U.S. policy (H-1B fee hikes) triggered sharp downside.
Automaker / EV sectors in Europe underperform due to revised profit outlooks.
Mining / Gold / Commodities remain relative outperformers globally; gold near record highs.
U.S. markets still favor tech / AI themes, though weighed down in some cases by regulatory or policy uncertainty.
Market breadth seems narrow in several regions: a few sectors pulling up, others dragging.

Great — here’s a focused finance deep-dive for 22-Sep-2025 (00:00–23:59 IST) covering bond yields, FII/DII flows (India), major currency pairs (focus USD/INR) and commodity intraday moves (gold, Brent crude, bitcoin). I’ve organized this as: quick headline, minute-aware timeline of key ticks (IST), a compact intraday metrics table (open / high / low / close), tiny text sparklines to visualise the intraday shape, and a short interpretation.

Bitcoin: ▁▂▅▇▇▇▆▇▇█ (peaked intraday then consolidated). (Yahoo Finance)

Quick interpretation & what moved markets on 22-Sep

Monetary policy pricing (Fed): further expected Fed easing (market-priced cuts) was the dominant macro driver — that pushed gold strongly higher (lower real rates = bullion bid) and supported risk assets in parts of the U.S. tech complex. Reuters/coverage flagged both futures and spot moves. (Reuters)
Local flows (India): FIIs trimmed exposure in cash on the day (≈-₹2,910 Cr); DIIs bought the weakness (~+₹2,583 Cr), a common tactical pattern (domestic buyers stepping in when foreign flows pullback). Net effect: equity indices saw intra-day volatility with sectoral dispersion (IT weak, metals/gold/miners strong). (Moneycontrol)
Rates: India 10-yr yield remained within a tight band — the market looked through to global rate expectations while keeping an eye on domestic auction/borrowing guidance (no surprise moved yields aggressively). (Investing.com)
FX: USD/INR moved very slightly (tight range) — flows from FII selling were partly offset by DII buying and a mildly softer USD overall. (Investing.com)
