I had mentioned in Monday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were under pressure. The major indices of the Indian stock markets suffered a correction on Tuesday and closed with losses over Monday’s close. On the NSE, there were 468 advances, 1,282 declines and 315 unchanged. The trends of the major indices in the course of Tuesday’s trading are given in the table below:


Broadly negative global cues subdued the key Indian equity indices during the pre-noon trade session on Tuesday. According to analysts, investors feared that high petrol and diesel prices and a weak rupee would pump up the retail and wholesale inflation rates, thereby mitigating chances of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India in the near term. Selling pressure was witnessed in the consumer durable, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), telecom and capital goods stocks. On the currency front, the rupee traded over 72.30 against the US dollar around 11.35 a.m. at the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Market.

Inflationary risks along with broadly negative global cues depressed the Indian rupee to a new low of 72.74 to the US dollar during late afternoon session on Tuesday. At 3.35 p.m. the rupee traded around 72.64 per dollar, against the previous close of 72.45 per dollar at the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Market. According to analysts, expectations of higher overall inflation rate, growing protectionism in global trade and an increasing outflow of foreign funds from the country's equity market have subdued the Indian currency.
