I had
mentioned in Monday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were under pressure.
The major indices of the Indian stock markets rallied on Tuesday and closed
with gains over Monday’s close. On the NSE, there were 1,081 advances, 611
declines and 369 unchanged. The trends of the major indices of the Indian stock
markets are given in the table below:
Sensex
surged on Tuesday as lower inflation figures gave way to expectations of an
ease in the monetary policy by the central bank. The Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) is set to meet in February to decide on the policy rate. Lower fuel
prices eased India's retail inflation in December to 2.19%, a 18-month low,
from the annual rate of 2.33% in November, data showed after the markets closed
on Monday. Except for the telecom counters on BSE, all the other sectors
gained, led by IT (information technology), energy and oil and gas stocks.
Lower fuel prices further eased India's
retail inflation in December to 2.19% from the annual rate of 2.33% in
November, even as food prices appreciated somewhat over the previous month
although continuing to remain in the negative zone, official data showed on
Monday. Meanwhile, Commerce Ministry data earlier on Monday showed that lower
fuel and manufactured products prices eased India's annual rate of inflation
based on wholesale prices (WPI) to 3.80% in December 2018 from 4.64% in
November, official data showed here on Monday. According to the Central
Statistics Office, the fall in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), or retail
inflation, last month was much sharper as compared to the CPI at 5.21% in
December 2017. The Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) deflation reversed
marginally to (-)2.51% in December, from (-)2.61% in the previous month.
Product-wise, prices of milk-based products, meat and fish rose during the
month under review on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. In contrast, deflation in the
cost of eggs, vegetables, pulses and sugar capped the overall food prices. The Total Investment & Insurance

Jet Airways' scrip shot up by more than 16% amidst reports that a rescue deal
has been sealed between the cash-strapped airline and its partner, Etihad
Airways. At present, UAE's Etihad Airways has a 24% stake in the beleaguered
Jet Airways. Accordingly, the scrip rose as investors eyed a rescue deal being
finalised between Jet and Etihad. It is speculated that the deal will allow
Etihad to increase its stake in the airline from the current 24% to 49%. On the
flip side, Jet's founder Chairman Naresh Goyal's stake will come down.
Currently, the airline faces financial troubles due to high jet fuel prices, a
weak rupee and low fares. Jet Airways shares closed Rs292.50, down 0.66% on the
NSE.
Transport
fuel rates were hiked for the fifth time this month and saw their steepest rise
on Sunday, amid global crude oil rates continuing to climb handsomely following

Sunday, while diesel prices were raised by 59-75 paise across the four major
metros. As per data from Indian Oil Corp, petrol price in the Delhi was
increased to Rs69.75 per litre on Sunday, while in Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai,
