The Indian stock market gained the most in nearly 1-month, following a rebound in Asian markets after their steepest slide since Brexit, on speculation that U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump will pursue business-friendly policies. Nifty Realty index surged 4.5% after losing more than 10% on black money crackdown. Nifty Bank hits 20K for the first time since September 23, 2016.
At 10:27 AM, the S&P BSE Sensex is trading at 27,638, up 385 points, while NSE Nifty is trading at 8,567 up 135 points. The BSE Mid-cap Index is trading up 2.14% at 12,994 whereas BSE Small-cap Index is trading up 2.71% at 13,04625.
Tata Steel, Cipla, SBI, Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma are among the gainers, whereas Infosys, Godrej Properties, Redington and Prestige estates are losing sheen on BSE.
All the BSE sectoral indices were trading in the positive territory. Some buying activity is seen in metal, telecom, auto, banking, basic materials and pharma sectors.
The INDIA VIX is down 8.25% at 15.2475. Out of 1,874 stocks traded on the NSE, 136 declined, 1,417 advanced and 321 remained unchanged today.
A total of 18 stocks registered a fresh 52-week high in trade today, while four stocks touched a new 52-week low on the NSE.
The rupee opened lower at 66.39/$ as against the previous close of 66.42/$.
Asian markets opened deep in the green as oversold indices saw short covering coupled with fresh buying as the Dow Jones index touched new highs. This after huge intraday swings with US futures hitting lows of -800 points at one time. Bond yields on the US 10 year paper hit over 2% as optimism on growth with infra spending rising saw the yields near 9 month highs.
The markets have been roiled for some time ever since the chances of a Trump victory surfaced though major bets remained on Hillary who eventually had to concede defeat. For now, Trump’s acceptance speech suggests he has indeed left the campaign ‘trumpisms’ aside and is set to usher in a new world order. The US markets may not have saluted his victory on Wednesday but he is known to be a friend of Wall Street.
Bonds and Gold which saw some smart up move failed to maintain their gains. Banks in India are stepping up activity to help cope with disruption caused by the withdrawal of Rs 500 and Rs 100 currency notes. While a lot of people are finding ways and means to change their high value notes, expectations are that earnings recovery could be pushed a few quarters further.
