What is the story about?
A cautious tone marked Tuesday’s trade as markets struggled for direction, with the Nifty slipping below 26,200 and the Sensex ending largely flat after a volatile session. While select names such as Coal India and Cholamandalam Investment found favour, pressure from IT and banking stocks capped broader gains. Gold scaled a fresh lifetime peak, marking its 50th record high of 2025.
Away from Dalal Street, cost pressures are building in the auto sector, with global and domestic carmakers signalling price hikes from January amid rupee weakness and rising input and logistics costs. In corporate developments, investors are weighing the implications of consolidation in the cement space following the ACC–Ambuja merger announcement, while scrutiny remains high on Cholamandalam Investment after recent allegations and a sharp stock rebound.
On the macro front, the government’s move to adopt double deflation in the new GDP series aims to address IMF concerns around data methodology, even as debates intensify over India’s proposed nuclear reforms under the Shanti Bill. Elsewhere, severe air pollution continues to choke Delhi-NCR, diplomatic tensions have surfaced with Bangladesh summoning India’s envoy, and US tariffs are biting hard into India’s diamond exports, leaving Surat’s workforce under strain.
