Sensex rise 118 points, Nifty 50 reaches 25,535; markets open higher on Tuesday

CHENNAI: Indian markets opened slightly higher on Tuesday, supported by gains in Asian equities and improved global sentiment ahead of the upcoming US tariff deadline on July 9. The Sensex rose 118 points to 83,724 at the opening bell, while the Nifty 50 added 18 points to reach 25,535. This positive start reflected a 0.6% rise in the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index and followed a strong finish on Wall Street, fueled by hopes of progress in U.S. trade talks. Meanwhile, oil prices edged lower on expectations of increased output from OPEC+—a welcome sign for India, which relies heavily on crude imports. Additionally, oil prices declined on expectations of an OPEC+ output increase—a favorable development for India, which is a major crude importer. The US dollar softened ahead of key US economic data and an upcoming vote on President Trump's fiscal reforms, which also supported emerging markets like India. On the domestic front, sentiment was supported by hopes for a breakthrough in India–US trade talks. Investors are closely watching for any early resolution ahead of the July 9 deadline. Among stocks in focus, Apollo Hospitals gained over 4% in early trade following news of a planned spin-off and listing of its digital health and pharmacy unit within the next 18–21 months. The parent company plans to retain a 15% stake in the new entity.

Floodwater Enters Asia's Largest Sugar Mill In Haryana, Causes Rs 50 Crore Loss

New Delhi: Heavy overnight rain in Haryana caused flooding inside the Saraswati sugar mill in Yamunagar - Asia's largest compound, damaging sugar worth Rs 50 to 60 crore. According to officials, the total loss of sugar is believed to be around 40 per cent. The Yamunagar warehouse stored 2,20,000 quintals of sugar, estimated to be around Rs 97 crore. Officials of the warehouse said that rainwater, along with the overflow from a nearby drain, caused the flooding. The general manager of the Saraswati sugar mill, Rajiv Mishra, said the municipal corporation drain passes from right behind the warehouse. However, the drain was blocked due to an encroachment, causing the floodwater to enter the sugar mill. "It rained extremely heavy last night. Our security staff alerted us around midnight about water entering the premises. Due to the encroachment, the drain's level rose. Sugar, being highly hygroscopic in nature, was highly affected. We have lost around Rs 50 to 60 crore worth of sugar. But we can estimate the exact loss once we scan the entire warehouse," Mr Mishra said. According to Mr Mishra, this is the first time ever that the mill was flooded. "We have never dealt with something like this before," he said. Officials are now engaged in clearing the water at the mill using a crane. While the Saraswati sugar mill has been hit with a huge financial loss, it may not affect the local markets at large, Mr Mishra said. Experts, on the other hand, believe that if such kind of negligence by top officials continues, then it can become a big challenge not only financially but also at the level of food scarcity.

Indian techie's post on Europe's ‘picnic' work culture ignites debate on X

An Indian engineer based in Paris has sparked debate online with a sharp take on Europe's relaxed work ethic, wondering aloud how long such a model can a now-viral post on X, Akhilesh, an engineer living in France, expressed his disbelief over what he described as Europe's unusually lenient work culture. From long lunches to strict no-email policies after hours, he painted a picture that stood in stark contrast to the hustle-driven mindsets common in many parts of the 'I really don't know how long the European economy is going to sustain with the current 'work-life balance',' he claimed that employees in Europe can be fined for sending emails after 6 pm and that taking just a 30-minute lunch break raises eyebrows. Instead, long midday breaks and extended vacations appear to be the norm. 'You can get fined for emailing a coworker after 6 pm. You're crazy if you eat lunch in 30 minutes instead of an hour and a half,' Akhilesh said. 'In August, the entire continent takes time off like it's a basic right,' he said, adding, 'Kids don't see their parents hustle, they see them picnic.''Gym, vacation, wine, repeat - and that's the CEO,' Akhilesh said as he concluded his the post here:advertisementThe post prompted a wide range of reactions from users - several amused, others defensive, and many reflective.'What is the point of a thriving economy if the people in it aren't happy?' a user asked, while another added, 'They may have lower GDP numbers, but their quality of life speaks volumes.'Several working professionals praised European companies for valuing output over hours. 'I work for a European firm and couldn't be happier. They care about results, not clocking time,' a user user added, 'They earn less than Americans but live more fully. Maybe the question isn't about sustaining the model, maybe we're just used to calling burnout ambition.'See the comments here:While opinions differed, most agreed on one thing: Europe's version of work might not suit everyone, but it sure gives people something to think about.- Ends
