Realty firm Signature Global purchases two land parcels in Gurugram
Signature Global's subsidiary firm has executed two sale deeds to purchase the lands admeasuring approximately 9.96 acres situated at Tehsil Sohna, District Gurugram, Haryana Press Trust of India New Delhi Realty firm Signature Global has acquired two land parcels in Gurugram totalling 10 acres to build housing projects. Signature Global's subsidiary firm has executed two sale deeds to purchase the lands admeasuring approximately 9.96 acres situated at Tehsil Sohna, District Gurugram, Haryana. These lands have an overall potential sales area of approximately 0.53 million (5.3 lakh) square feet, according to a recent regulatory filing. Last month, Signature Global chairman Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal said the company would invest around ₹1,200-1,500 crore to acquire land parcels as part of its expansion plan. Signature Global had invested ₹1,070 crore last fiscal year to purchase 48 acres of land in Gurugram, Haryana. "Land is an important raw material for real estate developers. We will be investing around ₹1,200-1,500 crore on the acquisition of land parcels this fiscal," he had said. Signature Global emerged as the fifth largest listed real estate developer last fiscal in terms of sales bookings by achieving record pre-sales of ₹10,290 crore. The Gurugram-based company has given a guidance of posting ₹12,500 crore worth pre-sales in the current fiscal. Signature Global is also ramping up construction activities across its ongoing projects. The company will invest ₹2,500 crore in 2025-26 fiscal on construction activities as against Rs 1,900 crore in the preceding fiscal. Recently, Signature Global announced plans to raise ₹875 crore through issue of non-convertible debentures to refinance debt and expand business. Signature Global started its business to develop affordable housing projects but shifted its focus on mid-income, premium and luxury segments because of high land cost in Gurugram. During the last fiscal year, the company posted a net profit of ₹101.2 crore, a sharp jump from ₹16.32 crore in the preceding year. Its total income grew to ₹2,637.99 crore in the last fiscal from ₹1,324.55 crore in 2023-24. Since inception, Signature Global has delivered 13.5 million sq ft of housing projects and has a strong pipeline of about 21.6 million sq ft of saleable area in upcoming projects, along with 46.38 million sq ft of ongoing projects, targeted for completion within the next 2-3 years.

Gold prices may be volatile as Trump's tariff dedline approches: Analysts
Gold prices may see heightened volatility in the coming week as investors track a crucial July 9 tariff deadline, policy signals from major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, and key global macroeconomic data, analysts said. "These factors could influence the near-term trajectory of gold prices," analysts said, adding that traders are expected to remain cautious ahead of any major policy cues or geopolitical developments. The 90-day suspension of Trump tariffs on imports from several countries, including India, ends on July 9, reviving the risk of a 26 per cent additional duty on Indian goods entering the US. "Going ahead, the focus will be on the interest rate cuts by key central banks, especially US Fed Reserve, the outcome of trade negotiation between US and its trading partners, incoming global economic data, which could impact the near-term gold prices," Pranav Mer, Vice President, EBG, Commodity & Currency Research at JM Financial Services Ltd, said. Investors will also closely monitor the release of the US Fed's FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting minutes. Last week, the precious metal futures for August delivery rose Rs 1,563, or 1.61 per cent, on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). N S Ramaswamy, Head of Commodities Desk and CRM at Ventura, said gold prices in the international market, currently at USD 3,345 per ounce, could remain under selling pressure due to the solid US macroeconomic data that dented hopes of a July interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Despite some corrective rallies, Ramaswamy stated that "the short-term outlook favours consolidation and corrective upward movements, followed by a likely continuation of the broader downward trend". Ramaswamy, however, said fiscal deficit worries in the US and impending Trump tariffs decision could trigger fresh volatility and lift demand for the yellow metal. Central banks added a net 20 tonnes of gold to global gold reserves in May, he said. Prathamesh Mallya, DVP, Research, Non-Agri Commodities and Currencies at Angel One, said gold prices continue to be supported by a weakening US dollar and ongoing geopolitical concerns. "Dollar weakness has been a key part of gold prices rising in 2024 as well as in 2025. This trend will continue for the rest of the year," Mallya said. Meanwhile, JM Financial's Pranav Mer also pointed to persistent central bank purchases, and increased retail and institutional investments via ETFs as factors bolstering the long-term bullish case for gold prices. Gold prices have outperformed all the asset classes in the first half of 2025 with gains of nearly 25 per cent, Mer said.

After Rs 36,500 Cr Jane Street Scam Saga, Can SEBI Plug The Gaps In Derivatives Market?
Jane Street, a US-based algo trading company, was alleged by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in its 115-page report for market manipulation and misleading investors. The company was alleged to make profits in billions through unethical strategies. SEBI has now barred Jane Street from accessing the Indian stock market and ordered to pay Rs 4,840 crore in alleged unlawful gains. Gaurav Goel, Founder and Director at Fynocrat Technologies told The Economic Times that the damage isn't just financial – it erodes faith in the system. 'This kind of manipulation, if proven true, not only distorts the market but also harms retail investors who trade with trust and limited capital," he added. Goel told ET that several regulatory gaps need to be filled in. He said 'manipulators often trade in both stock and options markets to create fake price moves. Sebi should build systems that track both markets together and raise alerts when something looks suspicious." Dinesh Thakkar, Managing Director, Chairman and the Founder of Angel One while sharing his PoV on the future of India's proprietary trading, said India's market opportunity is ????????????????????????????????????????, ???????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ????????????????.

He added that when big players are banned for wrongdoing, others become cautious and reduce activity, leading to lower volumes. The impact may extend beyond SEBI's jurisdiction, with tax authorities expected to examine Jane Street's structure under India's General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR). A large chunk of profits was reportedly routed through its Singapore-based FPI arm, leveraging treaty-based tax benefits, while Indian entities allegedly carried out intraday trades—something FPIs are not allowed to do. 'Considering the observations in the interim order, GAAR could potentially be applied to shift profits to entities liable to pay tax in India," said Harshal Bhuta, partner at PR Bhuta & Co, in a statement to The Economic Times. Jane Street Fraud Saga: Full Explained The regulatory action comes after an extensive investigation into alleged manipulation of the Indian stock market through index derivatives, particularly Bank Nifty options, which earned the company massive profits of over Rs 36,500 crore between January 2023 and March 2025.
