Mumbai, June 30 -- The headline equity benchmarks traded in a narrow range with a slight negative bias in mid-morning trade, weighed down by a mix of global and domestic factors. India's recent forex data revealed a decline in its reserves. Meanwhile, the Israel-Iran truce helped ease geopolitical tensions, and growing optimism over a potential US-India trade deal supported sentiment. Inflows from foreign institutional investors further contributed to the positive undertone. Even concerns around the July 9 U.S. tariff deadline took a backseat, as reports of a likely extension helped calm investor nerves.

The Nifty traded below the 25,600 level. Realty shares witnessed selling pressure for third consecutive trading session.
