The NSO said the significant decline in headline inflation and food inflation in June 2025 is mainly attributed to favourable base effect and decline in inflation of vegetables, pulses and products, meat and fish, cereals and products, sugar and confectionery, milk and products and spices.

JP Power share price rallies 46% in just 7 sessions, 117% from May lows. Here's what's driving the surge
Jaiprakash Power Ventures has witnessed a remarkable surge in its share price in recent sessions, driven by heightened demand on Dalal Street driven by heightened demand on Dalal Street after media reports claimed that the Adani Group had emerged as the leading bidder to acquire Jaiprakash Associates, which holds a 24% stake in Jaiprakash Power Ventures. Over the last seven trading sessions, the stock has climbed from ₹ 18.67 to a previous close of ₹ 27.23, marking a sharp gain of 46%. Notably, the stock has remained in the spotlight even as the broader Indian stock market continues to struggle in finding momentum. The stock has staged a strong comeback after hitting a one-year low of ₹ 12.52 in early May, with recent momentum pushing the total rally since then to 117.5%. Jaiprakash Associates (JAL), which has diversified business interests in real estate, cement manufacturing, hospitality, and engineering & construction, was admitted into the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by an order from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Allahabad Bench, dated June 3, 2024. JAL was taken to insolvency proceedings after defaulting on loan repayments, with creditors claiming dues amounting to ₹ 57,185 crore. The National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. (NARCL) leads the list of claimants, having acquired JAL's stressed loans from a consortium of lenders led by the State Bank of India (SBI). In late June, five companies, including billionaire Gautam Adani's Adani Enterprises, mining baron Anil Agarwal's Vedanta, Dalmia Bharat Cement and Mumbai-based Suraksha Group—which had earlier acquired Jaypee Infratech—expressed interest in acquiring Jaiprakash Associates, the flagship company of the Jaypee Group. However, recent media reports indicate that the Adani Group has emerged as the only bidder to submit an unconditional offer, proposing a ₹ 12,600 crore deal under the ongoing insolvency process. Jaiprakash Associates owns three commercial and industrial office spaces in the Delhi-NCR region. Its hospitality division operates five properties located in Delhi-NCR, Mussoorie, and Agra. It also holds four cement plants in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, along with a few leased limestone mines in Madhya Pradesh—though the cement plants are currently non-operational. Additionally, JAL has investments in several subsidiaries, including Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd, Yamuna Expressway Tolling Ltd, Jaypee Infrastructure Development Ltd, and other group entities. After facing substantial selling pressure, the stock gained momentum in June 2023. It maintained a steady uptrend in the following months until October 2024, before experiencing another round of selling amid weakness in the broader market. However, it later regained strength in March 2025 and has sustained that momentum since. Over the last two years, it gained 400% and in the last five years, it surged 1260%.

Markets await US CPI for tariff impact clues amid Trump's trade threats: Peter Cardillo
"The higher end of the tariff scale is just a threat and we just have to wait and see whether or not they will be imposed or whether or not they will have an inflationary impact. But again, they are just negotiating starts and that most nations will work out a deal and whether or not we get 10% or 6% in tariff implementation of tariffs is yet to be seen but some sort of a deal will be worked out. I do not think that Trump will go ahead with these steep tariffs," says Peter Cardillo, Spartan Capital Securities. ADVERTISEMENT US President Donald Trump yesterday made some bold comments surrounding Russia. One, he said he is disappointed with Russian President Putin. And he also said that if they do not come out with a deal over the next 50 days, then severe tariffs could be imposed. How do you read this and do you expect the dust to settle down over a period of time? Peter Cardillo: Well, obviously President Trump is imposing steep tariffs, not only is he indicating to Russia that if a deal is not made within 50 days that tariffs will be 100%, but he is doing it with most other countries that letters were sent out. It is just a bargaining point. And of course, in the case of Russia, it might be a little bit different because we are not talking about tariffs on imported goods, but rather on the war factor. So, it is a question now whether or not Russia begins to think seriously on ending the war in Ukraine. And so, the more pressure that Trump puts on Russia along with other European nations, the greater the chances of some sort of a truce may happen. And let us not forget something very important that the Russian economy is in dire straits, so he really cannot afford steep tariffs nor can he afford more sanctions. So, there is a possibility that some sort of a truce could happen within the next 50 days. I wanted to understand your view on the tariffs that will be imposed starting August 1st on EU and Mexico as well. You did previously say that tariffs at these levels are unlikely to be implemented, but that August one deadline is looming. So, do you believe a resolution will be out before that or do you think these tariffs will be implemented at these levels? Peter Cardillo: Well, again, if I heard the question correctly because the audio is not that great, the situation with Mexico is like every other nation. However, Mexico did say that they have a contra plan and, of course, we have to see what this contra plan is all about and whether or not the administration accepts it. I believe there will be a deal with Mexico along with other major nations. It is just a question of what type of a deal. Do I believe that these steep tariffs that President Trump suggests that will be implemented on August 1st go through? I do not think so. They will be much less and then, of course there is the question of whether or not they will be met with a surge in tariff inflation. In fact, today we will be getting some inflation news that is the CPI and there could very well be some hint of whether or not inflation is beginning to emerge from some of the tariffs. ADVERTISEMENT But he has also made some comments on tariff on Russia and secondary tariffs on all those countries who buy Russian energy. Do you think that this is merely a threat and Trump is using it as a negotiating tool or perhaps could it translate into something concrete? Peter Cardillo: Well, it is a combination. It is a negotiating tool and it is also a way of Trump trying to bring together this trade war and lessen its burdens and this burden that could have on the global economy. So far, we have not seen any evidence of inflation popping up anywhere. We saw numbers out of India which suggest inflation continues to move lower and it all depends how steep these tariffs are going to be. So, so far, the higher end of the tariff scale is just a threat and we just have to wait and see whether or not they will be imposed or whether or not they will have an inflationary impact. But again, they are just negotiating starts and that most nations will work out a deal and whether or not we get 10% or 6% in tariff implementation of tariffs is yet to be seen but some sort of a deal will be worked out. I do not think that Trump will go ahead with these steep tariffs. (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)
