Sensex and Nifty trade at fresh record highs

Domestic equity market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty ended over 1 per cent higher Thursday led by gains in banking and pharma stocks amid positive global cues. 
 
BSE Sensex surges 529 points to end at 46,973, while the broader Nifty 50 index jumped 148 points to settle at 13,749. Out of 30 Sensex stocks, 20 shares ended in the green, led by Sun Pharma which jumped 3.22 per cent.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the Indian rupee hit the 77/$ mark earlier in the year. The fall in INR is understandable given the economic uncertainties and fall in growth rate that led to global investors rush to the greenback which is considered as a safe haven.&nbsp;

The depreciating rupee has had a positive impact on Indian exporters, IT companies. The Indian rupee has depreciated over 3.5% (YTD) in the year 2020.&nbsp;

This will be the third straight year of decline for the INR. It is one of the worst years for the Indian Rupee among its Asian peers.&nbsp;

Equity indices at day's high, Sensex jumps 500 points

Indian shares were flat on Friday, ahead of GDP data that is likely to show Asia`s third-largest economy entered a recession in the September quarter in a coronavirus-induced slump.

A slight dip in IT services shares was countered by a 1.53% rise in automotive stocks before the release of monthly vehicle sales figures from Tuesday. Indian markets will be closed on Monday for a local holiday.

India`s economic activity likely picked up in July-September after a record 23.9% contraction the previous quarter, data due around 1200 GMT is expected to show.

Economists in a Reuters poll forecast gross domestic product (GDP) to shrink 8.8%, a contraction that would still amount to a technical recession.

"In spite of the impact of lockdowns, if negative growth starts to come down, that itself is positive," said A.K. Prabhakar, head of research at IDBI Capital in Mumbai.

"If it goes beyond a 13% fall in GDP, it might have an impact on the markets. But if it`s 9%, that is very good."

The NSE Nifty 50 index was down 0.09% at 12,975.85 by 0500 GMT, while the S&amp;P BSE Sensex was 0.18% lower at 44,178.89.

Both indexes were on course to end the month about 11.5% higher — their second best monthly performance this year, after a 14.7% gain in April — powered by record inflows from foreign institutional investors and progress on COVID-19 vaccines.

Tata Motors jumped 5.1% and Bajaj Auto rose 3.2%, leading the list of gainers on the Nifty 50.

IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services fell 1.1% and was among the top drags on the index.

Other Asian shares stalled near record highs as investors weighed renewed doubts about AstraZeneca`s COVID-19 vaccine against hopes that some of the region`s economies will recovery quicker than their Western peers.
