Indian Rupee Underperforms Most Emerging Asian Currencies on Tariff Worries
(Bloomberg) -- Before the trading day starts we bring you a digest of the key news and events that are likely to move markets. Today we look at: Good morning, this is Alex Gabriel Simon, an equities reporter in Mumbai. Stocks may open higher today after President Donald Trump indicated that a trade deal with India could be reached soon, and the country avoided receiving a tariff letter unlike some of its peers. Investor attention will also be on the BSE and stock brokerage firms, following a recent study that revealed a worsening trend of losses in derivatives trading among retail investors. Retail traders drop over 1 trillion rupees in F&O Individual investors lost over 1 trillion rupees dabbling in equity derivatives in the year ended March, a SEBI study released late Monday shows. That's a sharp jump from 748 billion rupees the year before — even after the regulator introduced measures late last year to curb excessive speculation. The findings come just days after SEBI temporarily banned Jane Street, accusing it of misleading retail participants through alleged index manipulation. Jane Street has denied the claims. Jane Street curbs may hit options volumes, Nuvama earnings The temporary trading ban on Jane Street may dent options volumes and weigh on earnings for intermediaries like Nuvama Wealth, which counted the quant firm among its key clients, according to Jefferies. In contrast, BSE may see limited impact, as foreign investors account for only a tiny portion of the bourse's derivatives segment turnover, the brokerage said. Nuvama shares rebounded on Monday after a steep selloff in the previous trading session. Silver may shine in July on seasonality, strong demand Silver tends to perform well in July, and Ambit analysts say this year could be no different. The silver/gold ratio is currently about one standard deviation below its long-term average, thanks to gold's recent rally. Meanwhile, global green energy policies are boosting silver's appeal as a key industrial metal, they add. Three great reads from Bloomberg today: The Indian rupee was among the worst-performing emerging Asian currencies on Monday, after President Donald Trump threatened harsher tariffs on nations backing 'Anti-American policies' of the BRICS bloc. The rupee slid as much as 0.7% — its steepest in two months — to 86.0262 per dollar. Australia & New Zealand Banking Group expects further weakness, projecting a move toward 86.50 in the coming weeks.

VCs bet on AI to reboot IT; Blinkit, Instamart lead
Happy Tuesday! VC firms are turning their focus to AI startups looking to transform traditional IT services and outsourcing. This and more in today's edition of ETtech Morning Dispatch. Also in the letter: ■ Foxconn India recall aftermath■ Capgemini bags WNS■ Amazon expands Now footprint VCs back AI startups to shake up Indian IT services industry VCs like Peak XV Partners, Stellaris Venture Partners, and Elevation Capital are going all in on AI startups that want to shake up traditional IT services. Think automation for infrastructure maintenance, software testing, and customer support, all typically heavy on people and cost. The pitch: Peak XV is scouting 'agentic AI' startups to automate application maintenance. Elevation sees automation potential across BPO, KPO, and customer support. Stellaris has already backed two startups tackling core IT services. India edge: ' We (India) know how to scale people-heavy ops and sell services, not just software,' says Stellaris's Ritesh Banglani. 'Our bet is that tech-first services startups will be able to build distribution faster than the incumbents can build technology." Money talk: By charging for outcomes, AI-first startups can 'price like services but earn like software,' says Accel India's Anagh Prasad. Zoom out: Not just VCs, Masayoshi Son's SoftBank is eyeing buyouts in India's AI-powered IT and BPO space too. Investors are also betting on teams with deep domain chops from legacy IT giants. What's next: AI adoption is widening the gap between revenue and headcount growth at big IT firms. But what does this mean for millions of IT jobs? Still a big question mark. Also Read: Tech professors turn startup founders, VCs take note Blinkit and Instamart pull ahead as Zepto slows down Quick commerce stars Blinkit (owned by Eternal) and Swiggy's Instamart are estimated to have gained market share in April–June, while Zepto slowed down, according to analysts. By the numbers: Blinkit's gross order value (GOV) grew over 25% QoQ. Instamart rose by around 22%. Meanwhile, the overall sector grew less than 20%, signalling these two are pulling ahead. User trends: In December 2024, Zepto and Blinkit each had around 5.5 million daily active users (DAUs). By June 2025, Zepto's DAUs fell to 4.9 million, while Blinkit surged to 6.2 million. Instamart's new standalone app (launched in January) hit 1.1 million DAUs by June — and it's also still live inside Swiggy's main app. Why it matters: As competition cools, platforms are shifting focus to unit economics, cutting discounts, reining in marketing spend, and pushing higher average order values (AOVs).

Foxconn feels the China squeeze in India Foxconn is recalling over 300 Chinese engineers from its Indian iPhone plants at Beijing's insistence. While these engineers can be swapped with Taiwanese talent, the bigger headache? Machinery. Why it matters: China is a key supplier of affordable manufacturing equipment. If Beijing restricts exports or servicing, it could derail Indian operations and slow expansion plans. Smaller manufacturers, who rely heavily on Chinese gear to keep costs low, are especially vulnerable. Industry chatter: 'Capital machinery roadblocks will hurt more than losing engineers,' says Neil Shah of Counterpoint. Other EMS firms haven't felt similar pressure yet, hinting this move is targeted at Foxconn. Big picture: Some execs see this as a 'niggling pain' that large players like Foxconn can absorb, while smaller firms with thinner margins may struggle. A silver lining? Experts say this could push India to develop its own capital goods manufacturing — but that'll take time, as these machines are highly complex and China has a big head start. Capgemini's $3.3 billion WNS buy: Big move, big questions French tech giant Capgemini is set to acquire WNS, an Indian-origin business process management (BPM) firm, for $3.3 billion (about Rs 28,280 crore) in cash. That's $76.50 per share, a 17% premium to WNS's recent closing price. Why it matters: WNS, founded in Mumbai and now US-listed, specialises in BPO ( business process outsourcing) and data analytics for clients like Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, and United Airlines. Capgemini expects the deal to immediately boost revenue growth and margins, and lift earnings per share by up to 7% by 2027. The AI twist: Capgemini is betting big on merging WNS's deep domain expertise with its AI capabilities, think Gen AI and Agentic AI, to create advanced, data-driven services. WNS CEO Keshav Murugesh says it's about shifting from 'automation to autonomy' and helping clients cut operating costs by as much as 40%. WNS in numbers: FY25 revenue: $1.31 billion (down around 0.6% YoY). $1.31 billion (down around 0.6% YoY). Operating margin: 18.7%. 18.7%. 700+ clients, 64,000+ employees. Operations in 13 countries from 64 delivery centres. What analysts think: Morgan Stanley analysts flagged that AI could make BPO a more automated, less people-intensive sector, potentially reducing revenues and increasing competition. They also noted WNS is too small to dramatically move Capgemini's around $25 billion needle but adds around 19% to headcount. Market vibes: Capgemini's shares closed 5.6% lower after the announcement, hitting their lowest level since April. Investors are wary of the short-term balance sheet impact and long-term AI risks.

Bharat Bandh Tomorrow: Over 25 Crore Workers To Strike Against Govt, Know Whats Open And Whats Closed?
A consortium of 10 central trade unions and their allied organisations has called for a nationwide "Bharat Bandh" on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, to protest against what they describe as the government's "anti-worker, anti-farmer and anti-national pro-corporate policies." Organisers anticipate a massive participation of over 25 crore (250 million) workers, with strong support from farmers and rural laborers across the country. Preparations for the widespread industrial action have been actively underway across all sectors of the formal and informal economy, the forum stated on Monday. "More than 25 crore workers are expected to take part in the strike. Farmers and rural workers will also join the protest across the country," said Amarjeet Kaur, General Secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). The strike is projected to significantly disrupt essential services. Harbhajan Singh Sidhu from Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) confirmed that key sectors such as banking, postal services, coal mining, factory operations, and state transport services are expected to be affected. The forum leading the strike includes a broad spectrum of unions: Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC), Trade Union Coordination Centre (TUCC), Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU), Labour Progressive Federation (LPF), and United Trade Union Congress (UTUC). In a statement, the workers' union forum asserted that it had submitted a 17-point charter of demands to Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya last year, but alleges that the government has failed to address their concerns. They accuse the government of neglecting to conduct the annual Indian Labour Conference for the past decade and making decisions that contravene the interests of the labor force. A primary contention is the government's push to impose four new labor codes, which unions argue are designed to weaken collective bargaining, cripple union activities, and unduly favor employers under the guise of "ease of doing business." The forum also criticized the government's economic policies, claiming they have led to increased unemployment, surging prices of essential commodities, declining wages, and reduced social sector spending on education, health, and basic civic amenities. These outcomes, they contend, are contributing to greater inequalities and hardships for the poor, lower-income groups, and the middle class. "The government has abandoned the welfare state status of the country. It is working in the interest of foreign and Indian corporates, and it is evident from the policies being pursued vigorously," the forum declared. Beyond economic grievances, the unions raised concerns about an "attack on democratic rights," pointing to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar as an attempt to "de-franchise migrant workers." They also alleged misuse of constitutional bodies to suppress opposition and the proposed criminalization of mass movements through legislation like the Public Security Bill in Maharashtra and similar enactments in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, further adding that "the attempt to snatch citizenship is on the cards.' The trade unions have consistently opposed the privatization of public sector enterprises and services, as well as policies promoting outsourcing, contract work, and the casualization of the workforce. They contend that the four new labor codes passed by Parliament are intended to "suppress and cripple the trade union movement, increase working hours, snatch workers' right to collective bargaining, right to strike, and decriminalise violation of labour laws by employers." The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a prominent farmers' collective, and a joint front of agricultural workers' unions have publicly extended their support to the July 9 "Bandh" call, pledging to organize massive mobilizations in rural India. Previous nationwide strikes observed by trade unions include those on November 26, 2020, March 28-29, 2022, and February 16 last year.
