Will Nifty See Follow-On Buying On First Tuesday Expiry? | Opening Bell Live | 4K
Indian equity market bounced back smartly on September 1 after a three-day slide, taking support at 24,420 and ending 0.8% higher to kick off the week on a positive note. That said, sentiment remains cautious, with experts flagging 24,630, the 100-day EMA, as the key hurdle. A sustained move above this level could power the Nifty towards 24,700-24,800 and even 25,000, while a break below 24,420 may drag it back to the August low of 24,330. This morning, GIFT Nifty is pointing to a gap-up open on what will be the index’s first Tuesday F&O expiry. Stocks in focus today include Hero MotoCorp, Hyundai Motor India, and IGL.

NR Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani and Salil Parekh on the most important skill in the AI era
It's not every day that you get the doyens of Infosys together on one platform. A few weeks ago, Moneycontrol’s Chandra R Srikanth was in conversation with Infosys veterans Nandan Nilekani, NRN Murthy and Salil Parekh where they spoke about why the Indian IT industry cannot be written off, winning in the AI era and the skills that will help techies thrive. "I think there are many times in the past when such obituaries have been written. So, whenever there's a major technology shift or a major business model shift, people say that. But I'm very, very confident that in the current environment with the advent of AI, not only certainly at Infosys we can say that not only will we master this technology capability, but we’ll also actually use it to our advantage to again move forward and become even more critical to the world's technology needs" Nilekani said.

While he sees the proposed GST redesign as a boost to consumption demand, he cautions that additional measures will be needed to offset uncertainties stemming from job losses and weak wage growth.

US Treasury’s Bessent Says India ‘Profiteering’ from Russian Oil, But Optimistic on Trade Deal
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed President Donald Trump’s criticism of India’s rising imports of Russian oil, accusing New Delhi of “profiteering” from discounted crude. Speaking to Fox Business, Bessent stressed Trump’s strong ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed optimism that the two nations would ultimately reconcile differences. His comments coincided with the implementation of steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods, following Trump’s August 6 Executive Order 14329. The tariffs, effective from August 27, have escalated trade tensions, though officials said negotiations continue to balance trade disputes with the broader U.S.-India strategic partnership. Earlier, Trump had announced additional 25% tariffs.

Online Gaming Bill: India Pulls The Plug On Real-Money Gaming, Industry Faces Massive Crisis
The Rajya Sabha's approval of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, has effectively shut down India's real-money online gaming industry. Major platforms like Dream11, Probo, and Zupee have suspended or ceased paid operations, with the industry preparing legal challenges. The Bill bans all forms of online money gaming, regardless of whether they are games of skill or chance, and introduces strict penalties, including imprisonment and hefty fines for both operators and celebrity endorsers. The government cites national security concerns, linking online gaming to money laundering, terror financing, and tax evasion. Financial institutions are also barred from processing related transactions. Lawmakers argue the move protects the public, especially vulnerable groups, from social, financial, and psychological harm. The sudden enforcement has left thousands of workers and millions of users in limbo, with platforms scrambling to comply or shut down as the once-thriving sector comes to a standstill.
