    Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: Euro zone bond yields steady after US-Iran peace deal eases inflation fears

    Euro zone government bond yields remained stable on Tuesday, holding near two-week lows after a preliminary US-Iran agreement to end conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The deal has eased concerns over global energy supply disruptions, pushing oil prices lower and reducing inflationary pressures. Benchmark German 10-year Bund yield stayed around 2.95%, while the 2-year yield edged slightly higher after recent declines. Investors have trimmed expectations for further rate hikes from the European Central Bank, with markets now pricing in limited additional tightening as easing energy costs improve the inflation outlook.

    Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: Japan’s Nikkei tops 70,000 briefly after BOJ rate hike

    Japan’s Nikkei index surged to a record high on Tuesday, briefly crossing the 70,000 mark for the first time, after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 1%, as widely expected. However, the broader market ended with mixed performance as bond yields rose and the yen stayed near the key 160-per-dollar level.
    While AI-related stocks like Advantest and data-centre names led gains, most components of the Nikkei declined, limiting the index’s closing gain to 0.1%. Japanese government bonds fell following the rate hike, with investors viewing the BOJ’s tone as gradual rather than aggressively tightening, keeping liquidity conditions broadly supportive for equities.

The industrial goods and services sector led gains, while oil prices continued to fall, supporting expectations of easing inflation pressures.
    Markets also tracked central bank actions, with the European Central Bank having recently raised rates and other major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve and Bank of England, due to announce decisions later this week. Tech stocks slipped slightly, while individual movers included STMicroelectronics, which fell after a bond plan, and UniCredit, which rose after developments in its Commerzbank stake move.

    Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: BHP and Rio Tinto see India as key driver of future steel demand

    Mining giants BHP Group and Rio Tinto see India emerging as the next major growth engine for global steelmaking as demand growth in China slows. Executives from both companies said rapid urbanisation, infrastructure spending and significant capacity expansion by Indian steelmakers are creating a long-term opportunity for suppliers of iron ore and metallurgical coal.
    BHP noted that many of its Indian customers are doubling capacity, while Rio Tinto expects strong iron ore demand growth from India and Southeast Asia over the coming decade. India's goal of increasing steel production to 500 million tonnes by 2047 is expected to support sustained demand, helping offset stagnating growth in China and boosting the outlook for the global iron ore market.

    Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: HDFC Bank plans $500 million dollar bond issue under RBI scheme

    • HDFC Bank is looking to raise at least $500 million through a five-year dollar bond issue this week, taking advantage of the Reserve Bank of India's new subsidised hedging facility for overseas borrowings. Sources said the final pricing could come in below 100 basis points over U.S. Treasury yields due to strong investor demand.
    • The proceeds will be used to support the bank's overseas branches and subsidiaries, expand international operations, and meet general corporate requirements. The RBI's swap facility, introduced earlier this month, is expected to lower hedging costs and attract $15–20 billion of foreign borrowings over the next six months.

    Forex Updates | Rupee upswing may slow with Iran peace deal facing market test

    • The Indian rupee's upward momentum, which has lifted ​it to a one-month ​high, is likely to stall on Tuesday with markets ​assessing the durability of the Iran peace deal and whether the dip in oil prices will be sustained.
    • The rupee is expected to open largely flat against the ‌U.S. dollar after ⁠climbing ⁠0.42% on Monday to 94.71. The currency has rallied 1.1% over the last ​two sessions to 94.4525, buoyed by a slide in crude oil prices following ​the Iran-U.S. peace deal.
    • "It's fairly straightforward from here: if the drop in oil holds up, there is room for a move to 93.50 ​to 94," a currency trader at a bank ⁠said.
    • "If the ‌drop proves temporary, then it's back to the ​rupee being under ​pressure. I am inclined to think that this ⁠possibility should not be ruled out in the midst ​of the current news flow."
    • Brent crude on Monday ​dropped to $82.40, the lowest level in more than three months. The key question for the outlook of the rupee and other emerging market currencies is whether this decline in oil prices will hold, which in turn will largely depend on the durability of the ‌U.S.-Iran peace deal.

    Bonds Market Updates | India bonds seen rangebound as focus shifts to US-Iran deal details

    • Indian government bonds are likely to trade in ​a narrow range on Tuesday, ​as markets await details of the preliminary peace deal between ​the U.S. and Iran and assess fresh debt supply from Indian states.
    • The yield on the benchmark 6.94% 2036 note is likely to move between 6.85% and 6.89%, according to ‌a private bank ⁠trader. ⁠It closed at 6.8704% on Monday, its lowest closing level since March 24.
    • Yields move inversely ​to bond prices.
    • "It was just a matter of when the peace deal would come through, and ​it will definitely add to the positive momentum that has built up since the central bank's policy decision," the trader said.
    • On Monday, crude prices dropped nearly 5% ⁠to their lowest close since March 4, after U.S. ​President Donald Trump said a memorandum of understanding was signed ​to end the war and reopen the strait, a key passage for one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply.
    • Foreign ​investors have injected over $1.75 ⁠billion into domestic bonds over the last seven sessions since the RBI announced measures to attract dollar inflows earlier this month.
    • Meanwhile, Indian states will aim to raise ​216 billion rupees ($2.28 billion) through bond sales later in the day.
    • India's overnight index swap rates may also see limited moves after recent declines.
