India stock market jumps after U.S. cuts tariffs to 18% in trade deal; Sensex, Nifty rally

India stock market jumps after U.S. cuts tariffs to 18% in trade deal; Sensex, Nifty rally

Indian shares jumped Tuesday after Donald Trump unveiled a trade deal cutting U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18%, sparking a sharp gap-up opening. The Sensex surged 2,457 points—just over 3%—to 84,123 by midday. The Nifty 50 climbed 753 points to 25,842, briefly touching a record 26,341 at the open. Midcaps and smallcaps also rose more than 3%. The rally is significant because tariffs had been slowly weighing on Indian assets. Washington’s duties, slapped on in late August, left Indian stocks and the rupee trailing most emerging-market peers last year. Investors have been eager for any hint that foreign capital might flow back. “A successful bilateral trade agreement should help enhance investor confidence,” said Marcella Chow, a global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Thames Water’s £16bn rescue deal is close — lenders may take 30% losses

Thames Water’s £16bn rescue deal is close — lenders may take 30% losses

Creditors of Thames Water could face losses of up to 30% as a £16 billion rescue package edges closer, The Times reported. Lenders would take the hit on its senior Class A debt and receive at least a 10% stake in the recapitalised company, the newspaper said. The talks matter now because Thames Water is running out of room: it needs fresh money to keep investing while regulators push harder on pollution and service failures. A breakdown would raise the risk of special administration, a government-run process designed to keep taps running even if a water company collapses.

  • Rolls-Royce Flags Defence Spending Tailwind, Bombardier Tie-Up and Board Changes
    July 3, 2026, 9:31 PM EDT. Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) is set to benefit from a boost in UK government defence spending, with focus on advanced warfare and propulsion tech. The company points to upside for its defence engines and support projects. Rolls-Royce struck a deal with Bombardier to step up aircraft engine monitoring. The board is bringing in new non-executive directors to strengthen governance. The stock is up 25.7% for the year, sitting 5.1% above analysts' targets and running 58.7% above estimated fair value, making valuation look stretched. Forecasts point to earnings dropping by 3.1% a year over the next three years, putting sustainability of recent gains in question. Investors are watching how defence contracts, the Bombardier partnership, and board moves will hit revenue, margins, and cash flow.
