A day after global and domestic cues heavily dented investors' sentiments, the Indian equity markets made substantial gains during the mid-afternoon trade session on Thursday. The key indices traded with gains of more than 0.97% each as positive global markets, rupee appreciation and short covering enhanced investors' risk-taking appetite. Sector-wise, buying was witnessed in all the 19 sub-indices of the BSE, led by banking, metal and healthcare stocks. Another positive trigger for the domestic markets was the Finance Minister's announcement that the Goods and Services Tax would most probably get implemented by September next year. The overall sentiment in the global markets remained positive. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday announced that Ishaat Hussain will be the new Chairman of the board of directors of the company in place of Cyrus Mistry with immediate effect. Tata Sons has also issued a special notice under Section 169 (read with Section 115) of the Companies Act, 2013, and made a requisition for an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to consider the removal of Mistry as a director of TCS. "Hussain shall hold office as Chairman of the company until a new chairman is appointed in his place," the company said in a regulatory filing. Tata Sons had removed Mistry, 48, as chairman of Tata Sons last month saying he had lost the confidence of the board due to several factors and that the trustees were increasingly concerned with the growing trust deficit. Ratan Tata, who had made room for Mistry four years ago, was reinstated as the chair in an interim capacity. Hussain, 69, took over as director finance of Tata Sons in July 2000. Earlier, he joined the board as an executive director in July 1999. TCS shares closed at Rs2,158.05, down 0.60% on the BSE on Thursday.

US financial markets witnessed wild swings after Republican Donald Trump won the country's presidential election, but then stabilised and regained momentum as the Wall Street further digested information about the results. "It is not quite a mandate, not with a popular vote loss, but it is a far different outcome than was expected 12 hours ago," said Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial on Wednesday. Financial markets around the world had been pricing in a victory for the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Trump, Xinhua news agency reported. Dow futures had plunged more than 800 points on Tuesday night as the US presidential election remained much tighter than expected, with Trump showing strength in crucial battleground states. However, US stocks opened slightly lower Wednesday mornings as Wall Street shook off fears about the surprised election results. At the close, all three major indices reversed early losses to post solid gains, notching a three-day winning streak. Oil price settled higher Wednesday after tumbling as much as about 4% on Tuesday night amid Donald Trump's winning of US presidential election. The US dollar also recovered from an overnight sell-off, as Trump's victory speech eased market nerves. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against six major peers, was up 0.71% to 98.553 in late trading Wednesday. Meanwhile, gold had surged by nearly 5% to a six-week high of $1,337.40 an ounce as investors sought refuge in perceived safe-haven assets like gold, but then shaved gains to end mildly lower as the US election jitters faded. Analysts thought that Trump's victory may have wide implications on multiple fronts, including trade, taxes and foreign policy, among others. His win also puts into question the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate hike.
