MUMBAI, Sept 20 (Reuters) - STOCKS:
The benchmark BSE Sensex was up 0.1% to 84005, while
the broader NSE index also advanced 1.5% to 25805, with
both the indices hitting record highs, as an outsized interest
rate reduction by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the anticipation
of a soft landing boosted risk appetite.
RUPEE:
The Indian rupee rose 0.1% versus the U.S. dollar to
83.56, helped by a rally in its Asian peers and likely portfolio
inflows after the U.S. Federal Reserve kicked off its
anticipated interest rate cutting cycle earlier in the week.
GOVERNMENT BONDS:
The benchmark 10-year bond was quoted at 102.34
rupees, with the yield up 1 bps at 6.76% on profit booking.
OVERNIGHT INDEX SWAPS:
The one-year overnight index swap rate was
flat at 6.39%, while the five-year swap rate
declined 1 bp to 5.98%.
CALL MONEY:
India's overnight call money rate was at 6.20% and the
overnight TREPS rate was at 6.90%.
