Benchmark indices slip into red amid selling in IT shares
Mumbai: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty settled lower on Thursday following selling in IT and banking shares and investors remaining in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of the outcome of the US-India trade talks. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 375.24 points or 0.45 per cent to settle at 82,259.24. During the day, it fell by 415.21 points or 0.50 per cent to 82,219.27. The 50-share NSE Nifty closed lower by 100.60 points or 0.40 per cent to 25,111.45. Fresh foreign fund outflows and subdued quarterly earnings dented investors' sentiment, experts said. Among Sensex firms, Tech Mahindra declined nearly 3 per cent after its June quarter earnings failed to cheer investors. IT services firm Tech Mahindra reported a nearly 34 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,140.6 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, on the back of growth in communications and financial services verticals. Infosys, HCL Tech, Eternal, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Consultancy Services and Axis Bank were also among the laggards. However, Tata Steel, Trent, Titan and Tata Motors were among the gainers. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,858.15 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data. 'Indian equity benchmarks ended marginally lower as investors exercised caution amid subdued Q1 earnings announcements, particularly in the technology and banking sectors. Market participants remained sidelined due to elevated valuations of large-cap stocks and FII outflows owing to the uncertainty regarding US-India trade deal; however, any positive developments could amplify market sentiment,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE smallcap gauge climbed 0.30 per cent and midcap index went up by 0.07 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, BSE Focused IT tanked 1.47 per cent, followed by IT (1.33 per cent), teck (1.06 per cent), bankex (0.51 per cent) and utilities (0.25 per cent). Realty jumped 1.22 per cent, metal climbed 0.62 per cent, commodities (0.42 per cent), healthcare (0.28 per cent) and consumer discretionary (0.25 per cent). 'Markets largely remained in the negative zone amid uncertainty over the impending announcement of the India-US tariff outcome, as investors resorted to selling in banking, IT and oil & gas shares that led the downfall in key benchmarks. Once the deal is announced and if it suits the interests of both the countries, there will be a relief in the markets and we may see short-term spurt, else the sluggish to pessimist mood could continue. 'Also, the ongoing earnings season will have a bearing on the markets, and investors would take positions based on how the results pan out going ahead,' Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said.

Study decodes eye contact for human-robot communication
The timing of eye contact is key to how we communicate with both humans and robots, revealed a study led by Australian researchers. Researchers from Flinders University found that not just making eye contact, but when and how it's done, fundamentally shapes how we understand others, including robots, according to a statement from the HAVIC Lab (Human, Artificial + Virtual Interactive Cognition), Xinhua news agency reported. 'Our findings have helped to decode one of our most instinctive behaviours and how it can be used to build better connections, whether you're talking to a teammate, a robot, or someone who communicates differently,' said cognitive neuroscientist Nathan Caruana, who led the HAVIC Lab. In a study with 137 participants, researchers found that a specific gaze sequence -- looking at an object, making eye contact, then returning to the object -- was the most effective non-verbal way to signal a request for help. Caruana said it's the context and sequence of eye movements, not just how often they occur, that make them meaningful, with participants responding similarly to humans and robots alike. He said humans naturally respond to social cues, even from machines, and that understanding these signals can strengthen connections with both people and technology. The study, published in the London-based Royal Society Open Science, suggests that adding human-like gaze to robots and virtual assistants could make them more intuitive and effective communicators. Beyond robotics, the findings could enhance communication in high-stakes settings such as sports, defense, and noisy workplaces, and support those who rely on visual cues, including autistic or hearing-impaired individuals. The HAVIC Lab is now exploring how factors like gaze duration, repetition, and beliefs about a partner's identity (human or AI-driven) affect eye contact perception, according to the team.

Q1 results today: Reliance, JSW Steel, Hindustan Zinc, 34 others on July 18
Q1 FY26 company results, July 18: Indian Overseas Bank, L&T Finance, Bandhan Bank, and Mangalore Refinery are scheduled to release their April-June quarter earnings reports today Apexa Rai New Delhi Reliance Industries, JSW Steel, Hindustan Zinc, Indian Overseas Bank, L&T Finance, and Bandhan Bank are scheduled to announce their earnings report for the first quarter (Q1) of the financial year 2025-26 (FY26) on Friday. Among other companies expected to declare their Q1 results are Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals, Atul, Hatsun Agro Products, Indiamart Intermesh, Mastek, MPS, and Aarti Drugs. Reliance Industries Q1 results preview One of India's largest private sector companies, Reliance Industries (RIL), is expected to deliver a robust performance in the first quarter of FY25, supported by solid growth across its retail, telecom, and oil-to-chemicals (O2C) businesses, according to analysts surveyed by Business Standard. The O2C segment is projected to grow 17.7 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y), aided by a $0.4 per barrel sequential rise in gross refining margins (GRMs). However, the positive impact may be partly offset by a temporary shutdown of the refinery. ICICI Securities noted that the upstream segment is likely to remain subdued, owing to lower production levels and higher government profit-sharing. In the previous quarter (Q4 FY24), RIL posted a consolidated net profit of ₹19,407 crore, marking a 2.4 per cent increase Y-o-Y. Revenue from operations rose to ₹2.6 trillion, up from ₹2.4 trillion in the January–March 2024 period. Market overview for July 18 Indian equity benchmark indices ended lower on Thursday, July 17, as investor sentiment remained subdued amid a tepid start to the June quarter earnings season and uncertainty over India-US trade relations following remarks by US President Donald Trump. Additionally, volatility was heightened ahead of the Nifty50's weekly F&O expiry. The BSE Sensex fell by 375.24 points, or 0.45 per cent, to close at 82,259.24, while the NSE Nifty slipped 100.6 points, or 0.4 per cent, to settle at 25,111.45. Today, July 18, benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to be influenced by a host of factors, including Q1 results, institutional investment flows, India's forex reserves, progress on the India-US trade deal, Japan's inflation data, key US economic indicators, and upbeat global cues. Around 7:00 am, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 24 points higher at 25,199, indicating a flat to positive start for the bourses.
