Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE on Thursday, July 3, 2025: Around 6:35 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 13 points higher at 25,559, indicating a muted start for the bourses. 7:08 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Buy-buy AI: Why India's retailers are betting big on AI-powered growth Stock Market LIVE Updates: Last month, French beauty giant L'Oréal teamed up with artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouse Nvidia to supercharge research, drive innovation, and scale up AI-powered ads and product recommendations. Meanwhile, luxury titan LVMH is leaning on AI to ride out softening demand as it looks to boost sales, retain customers and court new ones, and stay ahead of shifting trends. Both hope AI can reveal what traditional tech doesn't. 'Retail has always been a data-rich industry, making it a natural fit for AI innovation,' says Dahnesh Dilkhush, executive director, customer success, Microsoft India and South Asia. So, retailers are increasingly turning to it to unlock the value in that data.

The group is doing this in a bid to create a streamlined and efficient cement powerhouse, housing both Ambuja and ACC brands, among others. As part of this ambitious integration plan, the Adani group has started the formal process of merging two of its recently acquired companies — Sanghi Industries and Penna Cement — into Ambuja Cements. This process is expected to conclude by December, according to people aware of the development. However, the group will promote 'Adani Cement' as the mother brand, for which it has already started the process of brand awareness. READ MORE 7:06 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Trump says US struck trade deal with Vietnam that imposes 20% tariff on its imports Stock Market LIVE Updates: President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States has struck a trade deal with Vietnam that includes a 20 per cent tariff on the Southeast Asian country's imports to the US. Trump's announcement on Truth Social said that the deal will give the US tariff-free access to Vietnam's markets. Vietnam also agreed that goods would be hit with a 40 per cent tariff rate if they originated in another country and were transferred to Vietnam for final shipment to the United States. The process, known as transshipping, is used to circumvent trade barriers. China, a top exporter to the US, has reportedly used Vietnam as a transshipment hub. Trump wrote that 'Vietnam will pay' that 20 per cent duty, but tariffs are taxes on foreign goods that are paid by the importers of those products. The agreement was unveiled less than a week before a 90-day pause on many of Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs was set to expire, sending US duties on imports from dozens of countries soaring. 7:04 AM Stock Market LIVE Updates: Patchy rural recovery and a weak capex weigh on Q1 growth outlook Stock Market LIVE Updates: The April to June quarter (Q1FY26) has been an uneven period for economic activity, with factory output, exports and private capex hitting a rough patch, even as the farm sector and services like transport and construction have picked up pace along with government capex. While the spike in global uncertainties as well as unseasonal rains and an early monsoon have hurt industrial output, urban demand continues to face headwinds and though rural demand is accelerating, it is still patchy, reckoned several economists. They expect Q1 GDP growth to be in the range of 6-7 per cent, roughly in line with the 6.5 per cent uptick recorded in the same quarter of FY25, but slower than the 7.4 per cent growth for the preceding quarter estimated by the National Statistics Office (NSO). The NSO will release national income numbers for the quarter at the end of August.

Observing that 'availability of easy and affordable financing to micro and small enterprises is of paramount importance', the banking regulator said its supervisory reviews revealed divergent practices by lenders with regard to the levy of prepayment charges on loans sanctioned to MSEs, which led to customer grievances and disputes.

The number of ECM deals also fell 31 per cent, from 286 to 196. Initial public offerings (IPOs) surged 21 per cent to $5.9 billion, the highest first-half total ever, driven by two $1-billion IPOs from HDB Financial Services and Hexaware.

Visa, Mastercard race to tame $253bn crypto threat
A turf war is breaking out in the vast world of digital payments - and the incumbents are suddenly on defense. Tech firms and crypto startups are moving in on territory long dominated by Visa and Mastercard, powered by a new type of currency - the stablecoin - and a pitch merchants can't ignore: lower fees, faster settlement and a way to bypass the big two altogether. It's a tech threat and a financial threat. Digital tokens, which are typically pegged to the dollar, allow consumers to pay merchants directly from their crypto wallets - without routing payments through a bank or card network. Last year alone, US businesses paid an estimated $187 billion in swipe fees, most of it via Visa and Mastercard's systems. Stablecoins promise to make that toll much lower, or even obsolete. "It's clear that eventually this entire space could be a threat to TradFi providers," said Christian Catalini, founder of MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab. That pressure is prompting Visa and Mastercard to brand themselves - not as old-school toll collectors - but as the backbone for all kinds of digital transactions, including those originally designed to bypass them. With Trump poised to sign the legislation that creates formal federal oversight of stablecoin issuers, they're touting enhancements to longstanding efforts in areas including stablecoin settlement and crypto-linked cards. Visa and Mastercard have also highlighted initiatives in cross-border payments, one of the most popular use cases for stablecoins. Visa Ventures invested in stablecoin infrastructure provider BVNK earlier this year. Mastercard recently announced it's joining the Paxos Global Dollar Network, allowing Paxos to help institutions on its network mint and redeem a stablecoin known as USDG, while also backing stablecoins including Fiserv's FIUSD, PayPal's PYUSD and Circle's USDC.
