Indian equity markets are expected to open on a cautious-to-negative note on July 11, 2025, tracking weakness in Gift Nifty as of 8:15 AM. Key factors influencing sentiment include renewed global trade tensions, institutional flows, earnings from IT Companies, and ongoing India–US trade deal discussions.
US President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports effective August 1, marking another escalation in his aggressive trade policy. He further hinted at blanket tariffs of 15–20% on most major trading partners.
Trump dismissed concerns around inflation and equity market disruption, maintaining that such tariffs are essential to “rebalance trade.” These developments have injected uncertainty into global trade and risk sentiment.
Markets across the Asia-Pacific region traded mixed on Friday as investors digested the implications of the latest US tariffs. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.21%, while the Topix index gained 0.71%. South Korea’s Kospi saw a marginal rise of 0.013%. Meanwhile, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged down by 0.064%, reflecting investor caution.
US stocks remained resilient on Thursday. The S&P 500 gained 0.27% to close at a new all-time high of 6,280.46. The Nasdaq Composite inched up 0.09% to 20,630.67, marking its second consecutive record close. Market strength was supported by tech stocks and optimism around Q2 earnings, despite geopolitical headwinds.
On Thursday, Indian benchmark indices fell amid weak global cues and profit-taking. The BSE Sensex closed at 83,190.28, down 345.80 points or 0.41%, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled at 25,355.25, falling 120.85 points or 0.47%.
On July 10, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers, purchasing equities worth ₹585.96 crore. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) also remained marginally positive with net purchases of ₹20.50 crore, indicating subdued but continued support from local institutions.
Gold prices remained largely steady amid safe-haven demand driven by geopolitical developments. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $3,317.44 per ounce, while US gold futures settled at $3,325.70.
Oil prices, however, slumped over 2% on Thursday amid fears that new US tariffs could slow global economic activity and reduce energy demand.
With Gift Nifty pointing to a mildly negative start, Indian markets may open on a cautious note on July 11, 2025. While global trade tensions and tariff announcements continue to create uncertainty, domestic factors such as IT earnings and institutional flows may provide some direction. Investors are likely to remain watchful and adopt a stock-specific approach ahead of key economic and corporate updates.
