Sensex Rises on Financials Strength

India’s BSE Sensex rose about 0.4% to 73,801 in early trade on Tuesday, recovering from two consecutive sessions of losses as easing geopolitical tensions and supportive measures from the Reserve Bank of India boosted sentiment. Israel and Iran reportedly halted attacks on each other, easing fears of a broader regional conflict and pushing crude oil prices lower. Domestic sentiment was further supported after the RBI unveiled details of a concessional forex swap facility, allowing banks to hedge overseas borrowings of at least three years at lower cost. The measure is expected to reduce funding costs and enhance the appeal of foreign-currency borrowing for lenders. Financial stocks led the advance, with the banking and financial services indexes each gaining around 1%. Among financial names, BSE, ICICI, Canara, MCX, and Bajaj Finance gained between 1% and 2.6%, while IDFC and Master Trust climbed 4.1% and 4.7% respectively. On the downside, NLC (-3.9%), and Infosys (-1.2%) fell.
