Jul-07-2026

Trimming their gains, Indian equity benchmarks came off from their intraday high points in early afternoon deals, but held their heads above neutral lines. Heavy selling at Realty and Capital Goods counters along with weak cues from other Asian markets trimmed gains in markets. Traders also got cautious as the rating agency, S&P Global Ratings in its latest report has said that a weak monsoon in India may lead to higher inflation, weaken rural demand and strain fiscal balances.

On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in red, despite Singapore's retail sales expanded for the fourth straight month in May. The data from the Department of Statistics showed that retail sales climbed 3.0 percent year-on-year in May, though slower than the 5.4 percent rise in April.
