Golden Ten Data reported on July 1 that, after the Indian government scrapped the tax on foreign investors, Indian bonds—now open for unlimited global investment—have attracted record capital inflows. According to data from the Clearing Corporation of India, last month foreign investors purchased bonds worth 418 billion rupees (approximately $4.4 billion) through the so-called “fully accessible route”, nearly twice the previous record of 239 billion rupees set in August 2024. The ongoing inflows are expected to reduce government financing costs and support the Indian rupee exchange rate amid a stronger US dollar. ANZ Group economist Dhiraj Nim stated: “A series of factors—including tax cuts, currency stability, delayed interest rate hike expectations, and lower fiscal risks—may provide foreign investors with ample reasons to buy Indian bonds.” However, he also noted that if global financial conditions continue to tighten and US rates remain high, such inflows may be difficult to sustain. This surge in capital marks a recovery in the South Asian market after months of weakness. Other market indicators show similar trends: in June, Indian equities outperformed other emerging markets, and the rupee became the second-best performing Asian currency during the same period.

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on July 1 that the famous mining explosives company Orica has approved a major renewable hydrogen project. According to regulatory filings submitted on Wednesday, Orica has made the final investment decision for its Hunter Valley hydrogen hub in New South Wales. Data shows that the project plans to use recycled water and renewable electricity to produce 4,700 tons of hydrogen annually, making it the largest project of its kind in Australia at this scale. This decision is seen as a significant boost to Australia's ambitions to develop its hydrogen industry; last year, BP withdrew from a 36 billion AUD (about 25 billion USD) project, causing a major setback for the sector. Orica's project is one of two initiatives awarded funding in the Australian government’s first round of a 2.25 billion AUD large-scale renewable hydrogen support program. The hydrogen produced will be used to manufacture 26,600 tons of low-carbon ammonia annually, which is expected to reduce Orica's natural gas feedstock consumption by about 7.5%. Construction is scheduled to begin this year, with production expected to start in early 2029.```
