3h agoBitcoin crashes to $104,000 as $370 billion evaporates from crypto market
The global cryptocurrency market lost $370 billion in value within hours as Bitcoin fell to $104,000 (–5%) and Ethereum slipped below $4,000. Analysts attribute the sell-off to ETF outflows and risk-off sentiment after U.S. bond yields spiked past 4.6%. Despite volatility, Bitcoin on-chain transactions remain up 40% year-on-year, suggesting continued network engagement. Traders expect support around $100,000 as institutional demand stabilizes through regulated ETFs and custodial flows.

Crude oil prices fell for a second day, with Brent down 2.4% at $77.40 per barrel amid surging U.S. output and tepid OPEC+ cuts.

Analysts expect short-term range trading between $75 and $80 as global demand moderates post-summer. Oil equities declined across Europe and Asia, while refiners benefited from lower feedstock costs ahead of winter fuel demand.

Spot gold prices eased 0.5% to $4,230/oz after an exceptional 66% year-to-date rally driven by global risk hedging and safe-haven demand. Analysts said recent profit-booking followed record ETF inflows and multi-year central bank purchases. The World Gold Council reported 2,900 tonnes of official sector buying in 2025, the highest in decades.

7h agoRBI’s liquidity-boosting measure under-performs as FX intervention offsets gains
The Reserve Bank of India’s phased 100-basis-point cut in the cash reserve ratio (CRR), intended to release roughly ₹2.5 trillion into the banking system, has so far yielded only about half the intended liquidity. Analysts attribute the under-performance to concurrent FX-market interventions and maturity drain of forward contracts. The banking system, instead of moving into surplus, briefly recorded a deficit after the operations began. With yields remaining elevated and liquidity tight, the RBI may need to launch open market operations (OMOs) or other long-term tools to stabilise funding conditions.

7h agoIndian mutual funds invest nearly ₹23,000 crore in IPOs so far in 2025
Mutual funds in India have poured approximately ₹22,750 crore into initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2025, accounting for nearly 19% of the total funds raised (roughly ₹1.22 lakh crore) this year, according to Prime Database data. The majority of this deployment has been in large-ticket listings. Fund houses say the strategy reflects their belief in long-term listing gains, though they caution that IPO valuations are stretched and liquidity in aftermarket remains uneven. With new fund flows continuing and SIPs robust, portfolio managers are keeping allocations to select IPOs under watch.

7h agoSilver ETFs in India return to fair value after Dhanteras premium spike
India’s silver-focused exchange traded funds (ETFs) which traded at a premium of 5-10% over net asset value in early October have now reverted to fair value levels. The premium arose when global silver prices spiked past US$40-50/oz amid physical shortage concerns ahead of Dhanteras. Domestic fund houses briefly halted new money into Silver ETF FoFs. With the premium easing, analysts suggest it may present a secondary entry point for investors, though they caution about volatility and physical-metal liquidity risks in the near term.

For the first time since 2018, many equity mutual fund schemes in India are showing negative one-year rolling returns, according to data from Elara Capital. Despite strong inflows and concentrated bets in equity, funds have struggled to outperform amid market volatility and earnings uncertainty. This unusual outcome has sparked discussion about the adequacy of existing portfolio strategies and whether retail investors should scale back risk or pivot to other asset classes. Fund managers warn that near-term headwinds remain, and selective stock picking may be more crucial than broad market exposure.

Across the Asia-Pacific region, governments are increasingly stepping in to accelerate AI adoption via infrastructure investment and ecosystem development. In countries including South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, state-backed initiatives are facilitating data-sovereignty frameworks, cloud expansions and development of “neocloud” platforms tailored to local enterprise needs. Enterprise demand for generative AI, agentic systems and automated workflows is cited as a key driver. Observers say this build-out may shift the balance of AI infrastructure globally and bring new players into the ecosystem beyond the U.S. cloud giants.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) in a recent assessment of about 40 jurisdictions flagged that regulatory gaps in crypto and stable-coin markets could lead to significant financial stability risks. The report highlights uneven supervision of lending, leverage and custody services in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, allowing platforms to exploit jurisdictions with lax rules via ‘regulatory arbitrage’. With only a few jurisdictions having comprehensive frameworks, the FSB urged deeper international coordination to curb risks of contagion or failure in the crypto-asset space. Global regulators may now increase pressure to close loopholes.

9h agoCryptocurrencies increasingly used in India’s real-money gaming sector
Cryptocurrencies are gaining traction in India’s real-money gaming (RMG) sector as operators and users seek alternatives to conventional payment systems. With banks tightening oversight of gaming transactions and regulatory restrictions increasing, crypto deposits and withdrawals are increasingly being used to access betting platforms. While some users view crypto as a convenient method to bypass financial controls, this trend raises concerns among regulators regarding anti-money laundering (AML), transparency, and user protection.

In reports by Kotak Institutional Equities, India’s primary-market activity has raised about US$14 billion through 80 IPOs to date in 2025, down from US$19 billion in the same period in 2024. The trend signals growing investor selectivity and caution around valuations and business fundamentals. Smaller issuances dominate the pipeline as companies defer large-scale listings amid global macro-uncertainty and muted secondary-market performance. Experts indicate that investor appetite is returning, but only for firms with demonstrable earnings and credible corporate governance.

10h agoSilver prices slide on Diwali-day trading; gold holds steady
In the Ahmedabad market during the Diwali Muhurat trading session, silver prices dropped by about ₹5,000, settling at ₹1,65,000 per kg compared to ~₹1,70,000 the prior day. In contrast, gold held roughly steady at ~₹1,32,500 per 10 g. Traders attributed the silver correction to a stronger US dollar and eased US-China trade tensions, which softened safe-haven demand. Meanwhile, festive jewellery purchases remain strong for gold coins and bars. Many bullion dealers expect silver to remain subdued until regular trading resumes post-holiday.

With the upcoming one-hour special trading session (Muhurat Trading) on October 21 marking the beginning of Samvat 2082, analysts have flagged eight stocks recommended for either buy or sell based on technical setups and earnings momentum. The broader benchmarks posted four consecutive days of gains, with the Nifty 50 closing near 25,843 and the Sensex around 84,363. Structural themes such as GST 2.0 reforms, strong Q3 earnings expectations and improving mid-cap valuations underpin the recommendations. Market strategists emphasise a selective stock-specific approach rather than broad sector bets given current valuations.

India’s mutual-fund industry crossed a new milestone with assets under management (AUM) hitting around ₹75.61 lakh crore as of September 2025, marking a year-on-year growth of approximately 12.7%. Equity-oriented schemes were the major contributors to this increase, signalling sustained investor interest in equities amidst volatility. The growth reflects strong retail SIP (systematic investment plan) activity and renewed institutional allocations. Industry experts say that while valuations are high, the rising AUM shows resilience of India’s savings engine and the growing role of mutual funds in household investment portfolios.

Gold and silver prices in India have risen nearly 60% since Diwali 2024, far outpacing the Sensex, which gained only about 6% in the same period. The surge reflects a shift toward safe-haven assets amid geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and rupee weakness. Analysts cite strong festive buying, ETF inflows, and global uncertainty as major drivers. However, they caution that elevated prices and import costs could limit further upside. The trend underscores growing retail preference for physical assets over equities during volatile conditions.

The Indian primary market has raised about $14 billion through 80 IPOs in 2025 so far, down from ~$19 billion a year ago, according to Kotak Institutional Equities. The drop reflects growing investor caution and selectivity amid weaker listing performance and higher valuation scrutiny. While volumes remain healthy, companies and underwriters are expected to increase focus on fundamentals, pricing and post-listing liquidity.

11h agoIndia’s luxury-watch market set to grow 11–12 % annually amid rising HNIs
The Indian luxury‐watch segment is projected to expand at an 11-12 % annual rate, driven by a growing high-net-worth individual (HNIs) base and aspirational consumer demand in Tier-I and Tier-II cities. A report by SOIC Research suggests the sector’s growth is underpinned by rising disposable incomes, global lifestyle shifts and brand localisation. Brands optimising Indian operations and omni-channel strategies stand to benefit, while the broader consumer-luxury ecosystem may attract higher allocations from funds.

A recent review shows that over the past year, bullion assets in India — gold and silver — have out-paced equities. Gold and silver have surged roughly 60% since October 2024, while the BSE SENSEX has gained about 6% in the same span. The disparity underscores a shift in investor preference toward safe-haven assets amid global economic uncertainty, weakening rupee and sticky inflation. While jewellery and ETF demand remains elevated, analysts caution that metals are now trading at materially higher valuations.

Research from Elara Capital suggests foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are poised to re-enter Indian equities after substantial outflows of ~₹2 lakh crore this year. The recovery is attributed to India’s strong macro fundamentals, improving corporate earnings outlook and relatively attractive valuations among emerging markets.

Crude oil prices slid Tuesday amid concerns of oversupply and weak demand outlook, even as trade-tension relief supported global markets. Brent futures dipped to about US$60.87 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell to roughly US$57.45. A recent drone strike on Russia’s Novokuibyshevsk refinery and output cuts in Kazakhstan did little to offset warnings of a potential surplus of up to 4 million barrels per day by 2026 per the International Energy Agency.

13h agoTrump warns of continued heavy tariffs on India over Russian oil imports
US President Donald Trump stated India will continue facing “massive” tariffs unless it halts imports of Russian oil. He claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently assured him that such purchases would cease, a claim Indian officials dispute. India remains a top buyer of discounted Russian seaborne oil, and though the US says Indian imports have halved, Indian sources indicate order levels remain steady. Ongoing trade talks between India and the US are described as ‘congenial’ but lack concrete outcomes.
