Dalal Street witnesses upturn on Tuesday
Jul-15-2025

Breaking 4-day losing run, Dalal Street witnessed upturn on Tuesday, with retail inflation falling to its lowest level in over six years, approaching the RBI's target range. Equity indices made a flat start but soon gained momentum and maintained upbeat mood till the end. 

Some of the important factors in today’s trade:

Cooling retail inflation: Continuing its easing trend for the eighth straight month, India's retail inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), came down to 2.10 per cent in June 2025 from 2.82 per cent in May 2025 mainly due to subdued prices of food items.

India-US trade talks: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said the negotiations between India and the US for a proposed trade agreement are going at a fast pace. The Indian team has reached Washington for the next round of talks on the first tranche of the bilateral trade agreement.

Rupee posts gains: The rupee appreciated against the US dollar tracking the weakness of the greenback in the overseas market and a decline in global crude oil prices. However, foreign fund outflows, along with uncertainties on the outcome of the ongoing India-US trade talks capped some gains in the local unit.

India's export push gaining momentum: Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal has said that the Commerce Ministry will work with districts to promote first time exporters to newer markets. He mentioned that the Ministry will soon be coming out with more guidelines on how new markets, new products, and new exporters can be promoted.

Positive global sentiments: European markets were trading mostly in green, amid optimism that U.S President Donald Trump's bargaining tactics are unlikely to derail global trade. Asian markets settled mostly higher on Tuesday, as investors cheered data that showed China's economy grew at a steady pace in the spring.

Finally, the BSE Sensex surged 317.45 points or 0.39% to 82,570.91 and the CNX Nifty was up by 113.50 points or 0.45% to 25,195.80.

Meanwhile, Union New & Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi has said that India has achieved 50 per cent non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity of 242.8 GW out of the total 484.8 GW installed capacity, five years ahead of its 2030 target. He said this assumes significance in view of India's commitment at international fora to increased non-fossil fuel-based power generation in the country.

The minister said India has set an ambitious target of having 500 GW of renewable energy-based electricity generation by 2030. He said under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a major climate commitment has been fulfilled. India's total installed power capacity now stands at 484.8 GW, with 242.8 GW coming from non-fossil fuel sources -- a powerful testament to our green progress. This is not just a milestone -- it's a giant stride towards a greener, cleaner Bharat by 2047.

He stated that achieving 50 per cent non-fossil fuel capacity five years ahead of the 2030 target is a proud moment for every Indian, and added that Modi's leadership continues to drive Bharat's green transformation, paving the path towards a self-reliant and sustainable future.

Meanwhile, investors reacted positively to Chinese GDP data for the first half of 2025. China's economy posted a solid 5.3% growth year-on-year in the first half of 2025, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Meanwhile, investors were awaiting US June CPI data that could provide clues on the path for monetary policy. Japanese shares gained despite lingering uncertainty over the upcoming upper house election outcome. However, Chinese shares dropped as the latest GDP data eased the pressure on the need for additional stimulus in the near term.
