Financials lead rebound in Indian shares ahead of US election
Updates to close
By Bharath Rajeswaran
Nov 5 (Reuters) - Indian shares reversed losses to end higher on Tuesday as investors sought safety in heavyweight financials that are considered to have cheaper valuations, ahead of the tightly-fought U.S. presidential election.
The NSE Nifty 50 .NSEI rose 0.91% to 24,213.3, while BSE Sensex .BSESN gained 0.88% to 79,476.63.
The benchmarks fellabout 0.6% each during the session, before reversing course in the final two hours.
Slowing corporate earnings and record monthly foreign outflows have weighed on domestic equities over the last five weeks, with the Nifty 50 dropping about 8% from record highs hit on Sept. 27.
On Tuesday, financials .NIFTYFIN rose about 2%, with top private lenderHDFC Bank HDBK.NS, the heaviest stock in the Nifty and Sensex,advancing 2.6%.
"The buying in financials which lifted markets higher in the session is due to a strategy adopted by investors to park their funds in segments with valuation comfort for safety ahead of key events like the U.S. presidential election," said Aishvarya Dadheech, chief investment officer at Fident Asset Management.
Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump remain virtually tied in opinion polls ahead of Tuesday's U.S. election. The winner will likely not be known for days after voting ends.
A Trump win could lead to lower corporate tax rates in the U.S., which is expected to boost spending and, in turn, benefit several equity sectors in India, according to analysts. A Harrisvictory, meanwhile, is seen as a sign of policy continuity, a neutral-to-mildly-positive outcome for Indian stocks, they said.
Eleven of the 13 major sectors advanced on the day. The broader, more domestically focused small- .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 gained about 0.5% each. .
The metalsindex .NIFTYMET rose 2.8%, leading sectoral gains, aidedby a subdued U.S. dollar and on expectations of demand recovery in top consumer China.
Improving Chinese demand is a positive for metal prices and, in turn, for global metal firms. MET/L
