Sensex Falls for Second Straight Session

India’s BSE Sensex fell about 0.4% to 74,080 on Thursday, marking a second straight day of losses as escalating US-Iran tensions lifted crude prices and weighed on global risk appetite. Investors are also awaiting the RBI’s policy decision later today, with rates expected to stay at 5.25%, while watching for signals of a hawkish shift amid inflation pressures and rupee weakness. India’s Q1 GDP data is also due later today and is forecast to show growth easing to 7.2% from 7.8% in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, reports that the government may remove capital gains tax on foreign investment in government bonds lifted expectations of FPI inflows, offering broader support to domestic asset sentiment and the rupee. Retail trade led sectoral losses, weighed down by a sharp 33% fall in Trent shares after the stock turned ex-bonus, which mechanically adjusted its price lower. Other notable laggards included IFCI (-1.5%), Infosys (-1.2%), National Aluminium (-3.5%), and Newgen (-4.7%).
