Temporary relief? Sensex soars 1,046 points on foreign buying

Sensex soars 1,046 points on foreign buying (Picture credit: ANI) MUMBAI: Strong foreign fund buying supported by speculators' short covering late in the session on Friday led to a four-figure points jump in the Sensex. After opening marginally higher, the benchmark picked up gains through the session to close 1,046 points or 1.3 per cent higher above the 82,400-point mark. On the NSE, Nifty too followed a similar trend and closed 244 points or 1 per cent higher at 25,038 points. Foreign investors, after showing mixed trends for the last few sessions, turned strong buyers on Friday with a net inflow of Rs 7,704 crore. Domestic funds, on the other hand, were net sellers at Rs 3,050 crore, BSE data showed. According to Prashanth Tapse of Mehta Equities, markets witnessed consolidation after the recent spell of subdued trend, as strong European cues and positive Dow Futures triggered a massive rally in local benchmarks. "Investors also resorted to short covering ahead of next week's monthly derivatives expiry." Tapse, despite Friday's gains, is cautious about the market direction since a number of headwinds have a chance of impeding the northward run. Investors should remain cautious due to the ongoing West Asia conflict, as any spike in crude oil prices owing to escalation in tension could fuel uncertainty and spook markets, he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Clean Warehouses = Safe Workplaces SearchMore Learn More Undo Late on Friday, Brent crude was trading at about $76.7/barrel while WTI crude was slightly above the $75 mark.

HDB Financial Services' maiden public issue will open for subscription on June 25 and conclude on June 27, while the bidding for the anchor investor will open for a day on June 24, the company announced. The IPO is a combination of a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 2,500 crore and an Offer For Sale (OFS) of Rs 10,000 crore by promoter HDFC Bank. At present, HDFC Bank holds a 94.36 per cent stake in HDB Financial Services, a non-banking financial company (NBFC) arm of the bank. The company proposes to utilise the proceeds from the fresh issue to strengthen its Tier-I capital base. This will support future capital needs, including additional lending, to support business growth.

Last year, HDFC Bank's board approved a share sale worth Rs 12,500 crore, comprising Rs 10,000 crore OFS related to HDB Financial Services. After the proposed IPO, HDB Financial Services will continue to be a subsidiary of the bank, in compliance with the provisions of the applicable regulations.
