Metals, energy boost Indian shares to record highs
Updates to close
By Bharath Rajeswaran
BENGALURU, Sept 16 (Reuters) -Indian shares hit record highs on Monday, underpinned by rising metal stocks on a favorable U.S. rate cut outlook, while Bajaj Housing Finance BAJO.NS more than doubled over the issue price in its debut trade.
The NSE Nifty 50 .NSEI rose 0.11% to 25,383.75, while S&P BSE Sensex .BSESN gained 0.12% to 82,988.78.
Both the benchmarks rose about 0.3% to hit all-time highs during the session.
Nine of 13 major sectors logged gains. Metals .NIFTYMET gained 0.61%, buoyed by a softer U.S. dollar amid rising expectations of a 50 basis point interest rate cut by U.S. Federal Reserve, later this week.
A rate cut would support physical metals demand, as well as put pressure on the dollar, according to analysts. A softer U.S. dollar makes metals cheaper for holders of other currencies, like India. MET/L
"If the rate cut is in response to concerns about a slowing economy, the positive market effect could be muted. Conversely, if the Fed is cutting rates due to low inflation and a stable growth outlook, markets may rally further," said Swapnil Aggarwal, director at New Delhi-based mutual fund distributor VSRK Capital.
Energy stocks .NIFTYENR rose 0.8%, led by an 8% jump in Adani Green Energy ADNA.NS after the company, along with Adani Power ADAN.NS won a bid to supply 6,600 MW of renewable and thermal power to India's Maharashtra state for 25 years.
Adani Power rose 5.13%.
The broader, more domestically focussed small- .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 rose 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively.
Shares of Bajaj Housing Finance BAJO.NS debuted at more than double the offer price of 70 rupees, and settled 136% higher.
Investors had bid for 64 times the shares on offer in the company's IPO, the hottest so far in 2024.
Rival housing finance companies such as LIC Housing Finance LICH.NS, PNB Housing Finance PNBH.NS fell about 6% and 6.6%, on the day.
Consumer stocks .NIFTYFMCG fell 0.72%, logging losses for second session after hitting record high levels hit last week.
