June 19 (Reuters) - STOCKS:
The benchmark BSE Sensex shed 0.78% to 76,802.90, while
the broader NSE Nifty 50 index fell 0.64% to 24,013.1,
snapping a five-day rally on Accenture ( ACN )-led IT weakness, while
HDFC Bank fell after the central bank approved a term
extension for the lender's interim chairman.
RUPEE:
The Indian rupee was nearly flat versus the U.S. dollar
at 94.32, snapping a five-session winning streak, as weakness in
regional currencies largely offset the unwinding of long dollar
positions, but the currency posted its best week in the last 11
on debt inflows.
GOVERNMENT BONDS:
The benchmark 10-year bond was quoted at 100.605
rupees, with the yield up 1.46 bps at 6.8533% as halted
U.S.-Iran peace talks slowed oil's retreat and curbed risk
appetite, while some investors locked in gains after a recent
rally in prices.
OVERNIGHT INDEX SWAPS:
The one-year overnight index swap rate was up
1.75 basis points at 5.905%, while the five-year swap rate
rose 2.75 bps to 6.3475%.
CALL MONEY:
India's overnight call money rate was at 5% and the
overnight TREPS rate was at 5.19%.
