Sensex Today: Indian stock markets are likely to open on a cautious note, with a flat-to-negative bias on Monday, July 7, as investors react to the latest updates on US tariff measures under President Donald Trump's administration. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Sunday that the new tariffs will be enforced starting August 1 for countries that fail to finalise trade agreements with the US — a list that currently includes India.
Bessent stated that the extended timeline is meant to give US trading partners additional time to renegotiate tariff terms. The uncertainty around India's pending trade agreement with the US could weigh on investor sentiment.
As of 6:40 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 13 points lower at the 25,528 level, indicating a muted start for domestic indices.
Apart from global cues, market focus will gradually shift toward the first quarter earnings season for FY26. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will kick off the results season with its Q1 numbers scheduled for July 10. Other key earnings include DMart on July 11, HCL Technologies on July 14, and Tech Mahindra on July 16.
With no major domestic triggers expected today, the market is likely to remain stock-specific. Trends in foreign institutional investor (FII) flows and cues from global markets will play a critical role in driving sentiment through the session.
Global Markets Update:
Asian markets were mostly in the red on Monday, dragged lower by uncertainty over the shifting US tariff deadline. Japan's Nikkei 225 dipped 0.26%, while South Korea's Kospi shed 0.48%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 hovered near the flat line in early trade.
In the US, stock futures indicated a weak start for Wall Street. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 146 points, or 0.32%. S&P 500 futures slipped 0.39%, and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.42%, reflecting cautious sentiment amid global trade concerns.

Their lives changed when they stumbled upon computers and found their passion.'I still remember what hunger feels like.

After landing a stable job in the technology sector, they stayed focused. The techie spent carefully, saved consistently, and took up part-time trading.

More than the material things, I am proud that I have created a life my father would be happy to see,' he techie's post aimed to encourage others who felt trapped by their circumstances. 'To that person, I want to say - If I could do it, so can you. You do not need to speak fluent English. You do not need an elite degree. You just need hunger, consistency, and belief in yourself.'They concluded his post by saying he is still learning and growing. 'If this story resonates with you, I am happy to answer any questions. Whether it is about the mistakes I made, the tools I used, or how I managed emotions and discipline over the past ten years. Thank you for reading. Stay strong. Keep building.'Take a look at the viral post here:advertisementThe post struck a chord with Reddit users. 'God bless you with more success, peace, and health. Proud of your achievement. Keep teaching and pass on your work ethic to us,' a user user commented, 'Wow OP, a big win. I am 20 years old and come from a middle-class family. My father sold our car during Covid to meet our needs. Till this day, we are planning to buy one but can't. You surely did some great work.''Finally, someone not yapping on the internet. Thanks, mate. I needed a heads-up to keep working harder and stay strong every day,' one of the users said. The techie's story stands as an example that determination, not privilege, builds success.- Ends

Delhi High Court rejects Celebi's plea challenging revocation of security clearance

The Delhi High Court has issued a 94-page verdict upholding the cancellation of Celebi Aviation's ground handling contract at Indian airports. The Turkish company had challenged the decision, citing lack of adequate hearing and violation of natural justice. However, the court emphasised that national security takes precedence over the company's interests. Justice Sachin Dutta's bench ruled that the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has the authority to revoke security clearances based on intelligence inputs. The court accepted the government's submission of evidence in a sealed cover, stating the necessity of maintaining secrecy in matters of national security. The verdict highlighted the need to eliminate possibilities of espionage or dual logistics, especially in the event of external conflicts.
