After two sessions of losses, the benchmark BSE Sensex rose over 130
points in early trade on Tuesday on fresh spell of buying by
participants ahead of RBI’s monetary policy review.
The 30-share index, which had lost 559.50 points in the previous two
sessions, recovered by 130.79 points, or 0.44 per cent, to 29,253.06,
with consumer durables, FMCG, oil & gas, auto and banking sector
stocks leading the rise.
On similar lines, the National Stock Exchange index Nifty gained 26.00 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 8,823.40 in early trade.
Brokers said besides mixed trend at other Asian bourses and overnight
gains in the US markets, selective buying by cautious funds and retail
investors ahead of RBI’s policy review due later in the day influenced
sentiments.
Among other Asian markets, Hong Kong Hang Seng moved up 0.24 per cent,
while Japan’s Nikkei shed 0.27 per cent in early trade today.
The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 1.14 per cent higher in Monday’s trade.
