Sensex rises 200 points, Nifty tops 24,150 as RBI's liquidity measures defy weak global cues

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ticked higher on Tuesday, as the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) liquidity-enhancing measures helped counter weak global cues triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's continued criticism of the Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell.

The BSE Sensex was up 205 points, or 0.26%, at 79,613, while the Nifty50 rose 52 points, or 0.21%, to 24,177 around 9:36 am.


From the Sensex pack, Eternal, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, and Bajaj Finance were among the top gainers, rising up to 3.4% in early trade. In contrast, IndusInd Bank, Infosys, Power Grid, Asian Paints, and HCL Tech opened in the red.

Nifty Bank stocks gained up to 1.4% after the RBI directed lenders to assign a lower-than-proposed buffer rate of 2.5% on digitally accessible deposits, with a one-year compliance window — the latest move in its regulatory easing efforts.


Meanwhile, IT stocks such as Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro, and TCS fell up to 1.7% in early trade amid weak global cues, as President Donald Trump's renewed criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates led Wall Street indices to drop around 2.5% on Monday, while the dollar slid to a three-year low.

More to come....

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors. The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...
