The Indian benchmark indices, SENSEX and NIFTY50, advanced during the afternoon session on Tuesday, June 9, amid buying in banking stocks. Investor sentiment improved as crude oil prices eased, and the Israel-Iran ceasefire in West Asia.
The SENSEX advanced by as much as 0.7% to hit an intraday high of 74,035.41 during the opening bell. Meanwhile, the NIFTY50 reached the session’s peak of 23,259.45.
At 1:44 PM, the S&P BSE SENSEX gained by 271 points, or 0.37%, to trade at 73,795.26. NSE’s NIFTY50 stood at 23,217.35, reflecting a 94.35 points, or 0.41% jump.
NIFTY PSU Bank and NIFTY Bank were among the top-performing sectoral indices during the afternoon session on June 9, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday introduced a US dollar-rupee forex swap facility for fresh FCNR (B) deposits mobilised by banks for a minimum tenor of three years and a maximum of five years to attract foreign capital. Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) deposits are foreign currency term deposits maintained by non-resident Indians (NRIs).
Under the swap arrangement, a bank can sell US dollars in multiples of USD one million to the RBI and simultaneously agree to buy the same amount of US dollars at the end of the swap period, a central bank circular said.
This move is basically the RBI trying to pull more long-term foreign money into India by making FCNR deposits more attractive and liquid for banks. For banking stocks. This is generally mildly positive for banks, especially large ones.
** Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea**
Shares of telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea were trading mixed on Tuesday, June 9, a day after the Bombay High Court quashed the central government's 2012 decision to levy a one-time spectrum charge for spectrum held above 6.2 megahertz (MHz) from 2008 onwards.
A bench of Justices Manish Pitale and Shreeram Shirsat also set aside the demand notices issued by the centre seeking recovery of the one-time spectrum charge (OTSC) while noting that the Union government has not been able to show any source of power to issue such a decision and the consequent demand notices.
The bench observed that the centre, under the garb of public interest, has acted beyond the term of the contract/licence between it and the telecom companies and has not been able to identify any source of power to issue the impugned decisions.
"We find that the government has not been able to justify its unilateral action of issuing the decision within the four corners of the terms and conditions of the contract/licence agreements or the relevant statutory provision and therefore the retrospective effect demonstrates its illegitimacy, rendering the same unsustainable and liable to be set aside," the court noted.
