Positive global cues, combined with short covering and healthy monsoon rains, buoyed the Indian equity markets to new intra-day highs in the last 11 months on Tuesday. Consequently, the key indices traded on a higher note during the late-afternoon session, as healthy buying was witnessed in banking, metal and consumer durables stocks. However, the BSE market breadth was tilted in favour of the bears -- with 1,519 declines and 1,243 advances. Initially on Tuesday, the indices opened on a firm note in sync with their Asian peers, especially the Japanese markets. Healthy progress of the monsoon season and expectations of further economic reforms enhanced investors' risk-taking appetite. However, gains were capped due to profit booking at higher levels and uncertainties over upcoming macro-economic data like factory output -- Index of Industrial Production (IIP) -- for May and inflation figures for June. Market analysts observed that pharma sector stocks were facing resistance at higher levels due to profit booking. Most auto sector stocks were trading firm on lower levels of buying.

Coal India Board approved a buyback of over 10 crore shares at a price of Rs335 per share for an aggregate consideration not exceeding Rs3,650 crore, the company said on Tuesday. The buyback offer is, however, subject to approval from shareholders and other regulators and government authorities. "The Board of Directors of Coal India Limited (CIL) at its meeting held on Monday has subjected to the approval of the shareholders of the company by way of special resolution through postal ballot and subject to approvals of statutory, regulatory or governmental authorities as may be required under applicable laws, approved the buyback of not exceeding 10,89,55,223 equity shares of the company," the board said in a filing to Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday. According to the company, the offer will not exceed 25% of the aggregate fully paid-up share capital and free reserves of the company as per audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2016. Government holding in the company was at 79.65% as on 31 March 2016. Coal India shares closed at Rs316.85, down 1.14% on the BSE.

The US dollar climbed against the Japanese yen on Monday as investors raised expectations for further fiscal stimulus in Japan after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling coalition won the local elections. On Sunday, Japan's ruling coalition won a landslide victory in upper house elections. Analysts thought that this makes it likelier that Abe will be able to push through further monetary easing measures. The greenback added 2.24% against the yen on Monday in late trading, the biggest one-day gains since April. Moreover, investors were still digesting the newly-released nonfarm payroll report. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 287,000 in June, beating market consensus of a 175,000-gain, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.9%, the Labour Department reported on Friday. Analysts said the June nonfarm report mollified concerns of an economic slowdown in the USA, as May's payroll rose only by 38,000 and notched the fewest monthly job gain in almost six years. With the US dollar firming up, foreign institutional investors are likely to show greater interest in emerging markets like India. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

With India needing about a trillion dollars for infrastructure development, India's Minister of Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari has highlighted investment opportunities in India for US investors. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi making the country's infrastructure development the top-most priority of the government, "This is a golden opportunity to invest in India," he told a roundtable organised here Monday by the US-India Business Council (USIBC). "We are committed to improving the country's road, highways, and port connectivity in a time-bound, result oriented, corruption-free and transparent manner that includes e-governance and fast-tracking decision-making," Gadkari said. "The pace of road construction has accelerated to an all-time high of 20 kilometres per day and next year we plan to increase it to 41 km per day," he said. Gadkari told Indian media that thanks to recent government decisions there are no road blocks to investment in transportation sector with 95% of issues facing investors resolved. "Previous image of investment climate in India is completely changed." During his meeting Monday with US Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, he had discussed at length all the problems facing India in the transportation sector. S&P BSE India Infrastructure Index closed at 170.18, up 1.06%. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
