Mumbai: July may turn out to be the fifth consecutive month for benchmark indices to earn a positive return going by the historical trend. Data on monthly returns of indices over the past decade shows that Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 have gained in July on nine out of 10 instances. Additionally, analysts expect the benchmarks to move up this July as well and Nifty 50 may be on track to scale a new peak amid tapering geopolitical tensions and possibility of a normal monsoon.According to the data from Motilal Oswal Financial Services , the Nifty 50 on an average has moved up 3.6% and Nifty 500 index is up 3.8% in the month of July between 2015 and 2024.Even global indices have shown strong seasonality trends, as US benchmarks S&P 500 and Dow Jones have ended higher in July in each of the 10 years since 2015."July is one of the most consistent and profitable months on a seasonal basis, and stands out as the best-performing month in the entire calendar year,"said Chandan Taparia, head of technical and derivatives research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Taparia said currently, easing out in global tensions, stability in crude price, sustained buying from domestic institutions, sustained SIP Flow, short covering from foreign investors, better monsoon and expectation of better quarterly earnings are the reasons which could fuel the momentum on the upside.According to Sriram Velayudhan, senior vice president, IIFL Capital Services , July has been a positive month for Indian equity markets , driven by the monsoon trigger which boosts sentiment. "Additionally, global seasonality trends in July also remain strong, which has a rub-off effect on Indian equities."

Indian seafood exporters set to seize larger share of UK market, go global: Govt
New Delhi: With India's vast production capacity, skilled manpower and improved traceability systems, the India-UK trade pact enables domestic exporters to seize a larger share of the UK market and diversify beyond traditional partners like the US and China, the government said on Saturday. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), signed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his UK counterpart Keir Starmer, marks a turning point for India's fisheries sector not just by offering duty-free access to a premium market but also by uplifting coastal livelihoods, enhancing industry revenues, and strengthening India's reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality, sustainable seafood. "For fisherfolk, processors, and exporters alike, this is a unique opportunity to step onto a larger global stage. This agreement contributes meaningfully to India's broader goal of becoming a global leader in sustainable marine trade," said the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying in a statement. Indian seafood now competes on par with countries like Vietnam and Singapore, which already benefit from FTAs with the UK (UK-VFTA) and UK-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (UK-SFTA), respectively. This levels the playing field and removes tariff disadvantages that Indian exporters previously faced, especially for high-value products like shrimp and value-added goods, said the ministry. CETA offers zero-duty access on 99 per cent of tariff lines and opens up key services sectors. Notably, for the marine sector, the agreement removes import tariffs on a wide range of seafood products, enhancing Indian exporters' competitiveness in the UK market. This is expected to particularly benefit exports of shrimp, frozen fish, and value-added marine products, boosting India's presence in one of its major seafood destinations alongside labour-intensive sectors like textiles, leather, and gems and jewellery. India's total seafood exports in 2024–25 reached $7.38 billion (Rs 60,523 crore), amounting to 1.78 million metric tonnes. Frozen shrimp remained the top export, accounting for 66 per cent of earnings with $4.88 billion. Marine exports to the UK specifically were valued at $104 million (Rs 879 crore), with frozen shrimp alone contributing $80 million (77 per cent). The key seafood exports to the UK currently include Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), frozen squid, lobsters, frozen pomfret, and black tiger shrimp - all of which are expected to gain further market share under CETA's duty-free access, according to the government.

India-UK FTA protected sensitive sectors, will benefit all: Piyush Goyal
The pact will help boost exports of labour-intensive products like footwear, textiles and gems and jewellery, Piyush Goyal added Press Trust of India New Delhi Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal further termed the India-UK free trade agreement as "game-changing" and said it will benefit every section in India including farmers, youth, MSME sector and Industry. India has protected all sensitive sectors, including dairy, rice and sugar, in the free trade agreement with the UK, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Saturday. The pact will help boost exports of labour-intensive products like footwear, textiles and gems and jewellery, he added. "We have protected all the sensitive sectors of have not opened for UK (those areas)....Zero compromise and extensive benefits makes it a phenomenal free trade agreement (FTA)," Goyal told reporters here. He added that the agreement will open doors for India to the developed world. With this, India would be able to ship 99 per cent of its exports to UK duty-free, he said. The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), also called Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, was signed by Goyal and his counterpart Jonathan Reynolds in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday. It will bring "immense opportunities" to the Indian industry, the MSME sector, the workers, youth and fishermen, he said. Goyal asserted that the agreement was signed with the UK "confidently" on India's terms while protecting "sensitive items" like agriculture and ethanol. In an apparent dig at the Congress, he claimed that in several instances during the UPA rule, they opened the Indian markets in such a manner that they harmed the country. The minister said that the FTA will come into effect as soon as it gets UK Parliament's approval. He appealed to the Indian Industry to study the agreement and start looking for markets in various sectors including footwear, leather, toys, pharmaceuticals, gems and jewellery, food processing and service.

EU sanctions Indian arm of UAE-based shipping company
New Delhi: Intershipping Services Hub Private Ltd, the Indian branch of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based entity, has been sanctioned by the European Union (EU). Captain Abhinav Kamal, the Indian-origin captain of crude oil tanker Argent also faces sanctions, the first and the only Indian to be sanctioned by the EU in connection with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to sector watchers. The company is under fire for providing cover to ships engaged in trade with Russian sanctions are not extraterritorial and only apply to EU citizens, territory and companies. The Indian government too maintains it does not subscribe to any unilateral sanction measures."This means the assets that Intershipping Services LLC holds in Europe will be frozen and European citizens and companies cannot make money available to it, hence cannot do business," an EU official told ET on condition of anonymity. Since the sanctions do not apply to any non-EU entities doing business with Intershipping Services Hub, the company can court non-EU suitors, said the people cited earlier. However, Kamal may find the going tough since the global maritime industry has vast linkages with the EU, they said. Now, Kamal cannot board or provide services to any of these EU associated vessels. The bloc has accused Kamal of providing material, technical or financial support to the operations of a vessel that transports Russia-linked crude oil or petroleum products.
