India Stocks, Rupee Rise on US-Iran Peace Hopes
Indian Markets Rise on US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes
Indian stocks, rupee, and bonds advanced as signs of progress in US-Iran peace talks pushed oil prices lower and boosted risk appetite.
The benchmark BSE Sensex gained 1.42% to 76,488.96, while the Nifty 50 added 1.32% to 24,031.70. Both indices benefited from easing crude concerns.
The Indian rupee strengthened 0.5% to 95.23 per US dollar, marking its third straight session of gains—the longest winning streak in a month. Central bank intervention and falling crude prices supported the currency.
The 10-year government bond yield fell more than 6 bps to 7.0270%, with bond prices rising as Brent crude dipped below $100 a barrel.
In overnight index swaps, the one-year rate dropped 15 bps to 6.15%, and the five-year swap rate fell about 15 bps to 6.67%. The overnight call money rate stood at 4.9%, while the TREPS rate was at 5.09%.
