Synopsis
The Indian stock markets saw an upswing fueled by the performance of banking stocks amid falling oil prices. The Sensex and Nifty enjoyed substantial rises, as market participants eagerly anticipated the upcoming Reserve Bank of India monetary policy decision. Key players like Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank reported strong quarterly figures, lifting investor mood.
Mumbai: Indian stocks rose as oil prices declined amid reports of increased supplies and positive macroeconomic cues. The Sensex and Nifty extended Monday's gains on Tuesday, led largely by banking stocks.
The Sensex gained 685.34 points, or 0.95%, to close at 73,067.81, while the Nifty 50 advanced 220.35 points, or 0.9%, to settle at 22,776.10.
Markets will look to the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy announcement on Wednesday for further direction, said Sunny Agrawal, head-fundamental research, SBI Securities. RBI is expected to raise the policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, the first increase since February 2023, according to an ET poll.
Oil prices slipped on Tuesday as fresh data pointed to rising crude flows out of West Asia, while the Group of Seven's decision to release emergency reserves eased concerns over supply disruptions. Brent crude futures were down $2.77, or 2.8%, at $97.55 a barrel. The US 10-year Treasury yield hovered near 5.31%, close to multi-decade highs, as volatility in the bond market persisted.
