Asian equity markets gained on economic data and corporate earnings.
Even weak Chinese economic data didn’t sour the sentiment. The
Chinese security regulator’s steps to support the economy buoyed the
markets. Today (as of Nov 1), Asian markets opened almost higher amid
positive trade following gains in Wall Street in the last session.
Technology stocks remained in focus. Hangseng grew 1.40%, however,
Nikkei fell 0.51% (as at 8.a.m. IST).
As per the last close, European markets closed higher amid a strong
batch of corporate earnings reports. Gains in basic resources stocks
boosted the indices. Strength in Wall Street also led to the gains.
As per the last close, U.S markets closed higher following positive
reaction to strong earnings news from several U.S. majors. Stronger than
expected private sector job growth in Oct 2018 further improved market
sentiment.
Domestic equity markets gained after the government cleared air over
the differences with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), saying RBI’s
independence was “an essential and accepted governance requirement”.
This calmed investors worried over the exchange of strong words
between the government and the central bank in the past few days. The
government has been trying to change certain rules that come under
RBI’s purview, which hasn’t gone down well with the central bank’s
officials.
Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gained 1.63% and
1.85% to close at 34,444.05 and 10,386.60, respectively. S&P BSE Mid-
Cap gained 1.56%, while S&P BSE Small Cap increased 1.38%.
The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1619 scrips
advancing and 943 scrips declining. A total of 136 scrips remained
unchanged.
On the BSE sectoral front, all the sectors but one gained. S&P BSE
Information Technology was the major gainer, up 3.53%, followed by S&P
BSE Teck and S&P BSE Consumer Durables, up 3.18% and 2.32%,
respectively. S&P BSE Finance and S&P BSE Healthcare gained 2.23% and
2.01%, respectively. S&P BSE Metal was the loser, down 1.4%.
