Key gauges remain in green in morning deals
Aug-13-2025

Indian equity benchmarks remained in green in morning deals, as steady US inflation data propelled a sharp rally in global markets. Besides, retail inflation slowing to an 8-year low of 1.55 per cent in July also led to the positive trend in domestic equities. Some support also came as the government said negotiations for India-Oman comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA), which would help boost bilateral trade and investments, have been concluded. However, gains remain capped as some concern came with exchange data showed Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,398.80 crore on Tuesday. Sector-wise, textile stocks remained in watch as a commerce ministry said India's free trade pact with the UK will help boost shipments of garments, home textiles, carpets and handicrafts, with textile exports projected to rise 30-45 per cent by 2030. On the global front, Asian markets are trading higher after an in-line US inflation reading bolstered speculation the Federal Reserve will have room to cut rates in September.
