Rupee falls 26 paise to close at 85.76 against US dollar
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 85.48 against the US dollar and witnessed an intra-day high of 85.44 and low of 85.77 before settling at 85.76, down 26 paise from its previous close. Forex traders said the rupee opened in the positive on improved global risk sentiments, however, a negative trend in domestic equities dented investor sentiments and dragged down the local unit. Mumbai, Jun 30 (PTI) The rupee pared initial gains and settled for the day in the negative territory, down 26 paise at 85.76 against the US dollar on Monday, on weak domestic equities and a bounce back in crude oil prices. On Friday, the rupee rose 22 paise to close at 85.50 against the greenback. 'Indian rupee declined on Monday on weak domestic equities and a bounce back in crude oil prices. Month-end dollar demand also pressured the domestic currency,' said Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. However, a weak tone in the US dollar prevented a sharp fall in the rupee. The US dollar fell on better-than-expected inflation data from the US, Choudhary said. 'We expect the rupee to gain on weakness in the US dollar in improved global risk sentiments. However, any recovery in crude oil prices may cap sharp gains,' Choudhary said, adding, 'USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of 85.30 to 85.85'. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.26 per cent to 97.14. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, went down 0.28 per cent to USD 67.58 per barrel in futures trade. 'The US dollar fell a bit on Monday to 97.22 remaining close to multi-year lows and weighed by optimism over trade deals as well as growing expectations of the FED reserve cutting interest rates in the near future,' Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex fell 452.44 points, or 0.54 per cent, to close at 83,606.46, while the Nifty declined 120.75 points, or 0.47 per cent, to 25,517.05. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth Rs 831.50 crore on a net basis on Monday, according to exchange data. Meanwhile, NSO data showed that India's industrial production (IIP) growth slowed to a nine-month low of 1.2 per cent in May 2025 due to poor performance of manufacturing, mining and power sectors caused by the early onset of monsoon, according to official data released on Monday. The central government's fiscal deficit fell to 0.8 per cent of the full-year target at the end of May, mainly due to a Rs 2.69 lakh crore dividend received from the Reserve Bank of India. The fiscal deficit, or gap between the government's expenditure and revenue, had touched 11.9 per cent of the Budget Estimates (BE) for 2025-26 or Rs 1.86 lakh crore in April. Meanwhile, India's forex reserves dropped USD 1.01 billion to USD 697.93 billion during the week ended June 20, the Reserve Bank of India said on Friday. In the previous week, the reserves had jumped USD 2.29 billion to USD 698.95 billion. Forex reserves had touched an all-time high of USD 704.885 billion in September 2024.

US judge allows antitrust lawsuit against Apple to proceed
Agency: PTI New Jersey, Jun 30 (AP) A federal judge on Monday rebuffed Apple's request to throw out a US government lawsuit alleging the technology trendsetter has built a maze of illegal barriers to protect the iPhone from competition and fatten its profit margins. The 33-page opinion from US District Judge Xavier Neals in New Jersey will enable an antitrust lawsuit that the US Justice Department filed against Apple 15 months ago to proceed. Neals has set a timetable that could see the case come to trial in 2027. Apple has sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing the Justice Department had distorted the contours of the smartphone market and made a series of other misinterpretations that warranted the case be thrown out. But Neals decided there is enough evidence to support the Justice Department's market definitions and concluded the case's key allegations merited further examination at trial. The case seeks to pierce the digital fortress that Apple Inc, based in Cupertino, California, has built around the iPhone, iPad and other products to create a so-called 'walled garden" allowing its hardware and software to mesh seamlessly for users. The Justice Department alleges that walled garden has mostly turned into a shield against competition, creating market conditions that enable it to charge higher prices and stifle innovation. The lawsuit 'sets forth several allegations of technological barricades that constitute anticompetitive conduct," Neals wrote in his opinion. The judge also concluded the Justice Department had pointed toward enough areas of troubling conduct that raised the 'dangerous possibility" that Apple has turned the iPhone into an illegal monopoly. In a Monday statement, Apple reiterated its position that the Justice Department's case 'is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will continue to vigorously fight it in court". The antitrust lawsuit isn't the only legal headache threatening to undercut its profits, which totalled USD 94 billion on sales of USD 295 billion in its fiscal year ending last September. Another federal judge in April issued a civil contempt order banning Apple from collecting any fees from in-app transactions on the iPhone that are funnelled through other options besides its once-exclusive payment processing system that charged commissions ranging from 15 to 30 per cent. Apple also could lose a more than $20 billion annual payment that it gets for making Google the default search tool on the iPhone and other products as part of another antitrust case brought by the Justice Department. A federal judge in Washington is considering whether to ban the deals with Apple as part of a shake-up being proposed to address Google's illegal monopoly in search. Neals' decision to allow the Justice Department's antitrust case to proceed came on the same day that Apple was hit with a lawsuit by app maker Proton amplifying the accusations of wrongful conduct by the company. The lawsuit, which will seek to be certified as a class action presenting thousands of developers who have made iPhone apps, is asking for punitive damages against Apple, as well as a court order to dismantle its walled garden.
