The Week That Was : June 30 to July 4

 📅 The Week That Was: June 30 – July 4, 2025

“Jane Street Gets Ejected, Nifty Gets Rejected, and Uncle Sam Keeps Printing Gains”

Indian Markets: Moons, Dips & Drama

If you blinked this week, you might’ve missed the market’s mood swing from “Oh no 😱” to “Not bad 🤷‍♂️.”

• Nifty 50: Started the week like it lost its wallet (‑0.47% on Monday), slipped further on Tuesday and Wednesday, but then remembered it had savings in a fixed deposit—closing +0.22% at 25,461 by Friday.

• Sensex: Played the same emotional rollercoaster, dropping early, then rising like a Bollywood hero in the final act, ending +0.23% at 83,433.

🧨 Plot Twist of the Week:

SEBI yeeted Jane Street from the Indian playground, accusing it of manipulating Bank Nifty derivatives. 🤯

That news detonated mini panic bombs in financial stocks like Angel One, BSE, CDSL, and Nuvama—some losing as much as 9%, like a cricket team losing all wickets before lunch.

📦 Sector Drama:

• Oil & Gas: +1.13% (crude prices softened, and someone hit the bhajji fryer again)

• Reality: +0.80% (apparently, building dreams still pays)

• IT & Teck: +0.71% and +0.57%—our tech bros quietly coded their way to green

• Healthcare: +0.65% (just enough to keep market hypochondriacs calm)

💸 IPOs: “Who wants to be publicly listed?”

Answer: Everyone!
10 new IPOs strutted into Dalal Street this week—including SMEs like Crizac and Travel Food Services, because nothing says growth like snacks and spreadsheets.

🌍 World Tour: Markets Without Jet Lag

United States

They’re partying like it's QE forever:

• S&P 500 hit a fresh all-time high (yes, again) at 6,279

• Dow +2.3%, S&P +1.7%, Nasdaq +1.6%

• Why?
  → Strong jobs report (+147,000 jobs in June)
  → Tech and AI stocks sprinted ahead
  → Tariff threats? Meh. U.S. investors just shrugged and bought more stonks.

Europe

• DAX, CAC 40, and friends: Took a breather, tripped slightly (-0.7% to -1.1%)

• Mostly stared at the U.S., muttering, "How are they doing it again?"

Asia

• KOSPI (Korea): ‑2% (K-drama, but for investors)

• Hang Seng (Hong Kong): ‑0.6% (Hanging low)

• Nikkei (Japan): +0.1% (still sneaking in gains)

• Shanghai Composite: +0.3% (quietly making moves behind the bamboo curtain)

💰 Commodities & Currencies

• Oil & Copper: Slipped ~1.6%—possibly in protest of tariff tantrums and weak demand

• Dollar: Lost some sheen (again), while U.S. bond yields rose on strong labor data

• Trade Tariff Drama: President Trump hinted at 10–70% tariffs coming soon. Global markets: "Is this a threat or a New Year resolution?"

📊 Weekly Gains/Losses: TL;DR Edition

• Nifty: +0.22%

• Sensex: +0.23%

• Dow: +2.3%

• S&P 500: +1.7%

• Nasdaq: +1.6%

• DAX/CAC: ‑0.7% to ‑1.1%

• KOSPI: ‑2%

• Hang Seng: ‑0.6%

🧠 Takeaway Time:

• Indian markets showed just enough enthusiasm to keep the bulls hopeful—but SEBI's “Jane the Pain” ban reminded us that even the big kids get grounded.

• U.S. markets are still throwing a party, while Europe and Asia showed up late, unsure if they’re even on the guest list.

• Global investors are side-eyeing tariff threats but staying invested because… well, TINA (There Is No Alternative).
