Shares of Paras Defence and Space Technologies fell as much as 6.1% on Monday to Rs 876.55 on the BSE , as investors booked profits following last week's sharp rally triggered by the company's 1:2 stock split The stock, which had surged over 8% on Friday post-adjustment, saw a reversal in sentiment even as underlying technical indicators continued to show strength. The decline comes despite bullish cues, with the stock still trading above all eight key simple moving averages (SMAs) — from the 5-day to the 200-day — and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remaining above both the center and signal lines.Friday's rally followed the company's stock split becoming effective on July 4, which was also the record date for the sub-division. The split, changing the face value from Rs 10 to Rs 5 per share, had been approved by shareholders via postal ballot on June 7, 2025, as disclosed in a regulatory filing under SEBI's Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (Regulation 42).However, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 70.7 — a level considered overbought — a near-term pullback remains likely. Paras Defence shares continue to show strong performance over broader timeframes. The stock is up 14.4% over the past year and has surged 82.4% in the last six months. In the past three months alone, it has gained 79%, including a 7% rise over the past month. Paras Defence 's market capitalisation currently stands at Rs 7,442.64 crore.

Gold ETFs: All You Need To Know About Gold BeES
Last Updated: The Gold BeEs ETFs offer an opportunity to investors to invest in the yellow metal without holding it in physical form. Gold prices have surged significantly in the last few months. Currently, the 24 Karat gold costs Rs 98,840 per 10 grams. It could be a suitable opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolio by investing in the yellow metal. The investors can also gain from the surge in the gold price. It's no longer necessary to buy gold in physical forms, like jewellery, to invest in the precious metal. Several instruments offer an opportunity these days to invest in gold in a digital form. Gold BeES stands for Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded schemes, which are open-ended Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and reflect the price movements of physical gold, which could be a suitable choice. As exchange-traded funds, the Gold BeES can be bought and sold on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE during market hours on all trading days. A single unit of a Gold BeES is equivalent to 0.01 gram of gold of 99.5% purity in dematerialised or digital form. Investors can explore the Gold BeES ETFs in the cash segment of both the BSE and NSE. The ETFs can be purchased or sold at the prevailing market price. Gold BeES ETFs: Key Details Gold BeES ETFs can be traded during market hours like the stocks of any company. The investors can buy the ETFs at the real-time market price per unit. For investing in Gold BeES ETFs, the investors need to have a Demat account. When you buy one unit of a Gold BeES ETF, you invest in 0.01 gm of gold of 99.5% purity. The units purchased are stored in your Demat account. So, the gold is secured in a digital form and you can redeem the units when needed. This allows high liquidity and flexibility to investors, while offering an opportunity to invest in gold of 99.5% purity. Investors can expect a transparent transaction process when buying the Gold BeES ETFs. Unlike physical gold, investors need not worry about storage in the case of such ETFs. High liquidity: These exchange-traded funds for gold buying can be easily sold at the prevailing market price during a trading session. Cost Effective: Unlike physical gold investments, the brokerage fee in the case of this scheme is lower for the investor. There is also no entry or exit load. The digital form of the yellow metal also helps investors to save more by avoiding the additional cost of dealing in physical gold, like opting for a bank locker. Flexible Transaction Model: Gold BeES can be bought and sold at any time during trading hours and stored in your Demat account. The prices are determined by the market factors and there is no hidden cost. Buy In Minimal Quantities: Unlike physical gold, investors can buy the Gold BeES in minimal quantities depending on their needs. One can start as low as a purchase of 0.01 gram of digital gold.

The 50-share NSE Nifty climbed 61.20 points or 0.24 per cent to settle at 25,522.50, after a muted trading session. After moving in a narrow range for most of the session, the 30-share barometer rose by 270.01 points or 0.32 per cent to close at 83,712.51. As many as 18 of its constituents ended higher and 12 lower. Mumbai, Jul 8 (PTI) Benchmark BSE Sensex closed higher by 270 points on Tuesday, helped by late-day buying in banking and select IT shares as well as positive trends in the Asian markets. Stock markets moved in a range for most of the session before the emergence of value buying in the pre-close session. Investors are awaiting definitive progress on the proposed India-US trade even as the US extended the suspension of reciprocal tariffs until August 1, experts said. From the Sensex firms, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Eternal, Asian Paints, NTPC, Bharat Electronics Ltd, Adani Ports, Infosys and State Bank of India were among the major gainers. However, Titan tumbled over 6 per cent. Trent, Axis Bank, Maruti and Hindustan Unilever were also among the laggards. The US is close to making a trade deal with India, President Donald Trump has said. 'Now, we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China… We're close to making a deal with India. Others we met with and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just sent them a letter. If you want to play ball, this is what you have to pay,' Trump said on Monday. The remarks came as the Trump administration sent out the first tranche of 'letters' to various countries on Monday detailing the tariffs that the US will impose on products from those countries entering America. The countries that got these letters, signed by Trump, were Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled in the positive territory. 'The Indian equity market remained largely range-bound as investors awaited definitive progress on the India–US trade agreement. While sentiment remains cautiously optimistic about a potential deal, the lack of formal confirmation has restrained fresh buying activity. 'Moreover, the US decision to extend the deadline for implementing 25% tariffs on key trading partners has led investors to adopt a more defensive approach,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE smallcap gauge declined 0.17 per cent while midcap index ended flat, up by just 0.01 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, realty jumped 1.08 per cent, bankex (0.72 per cent), power (0.70 per cent), services (0.68 per cent), utilities (0.68 per cent) and financial services (0.45 per cent).
