Indian financial markets closed

MUMBAI: India’s equity, currency and debt markets are closed on Tuesday, November 10, for a local holiday. Trading will resume on Wednesday, November 11.

The benchmark BSE Sensex was up 0.13 percent to 81,106.65, while the broader NSE Nifty 50 index advanced 0.23 percent to 25,044.65 on Monday, consolidating after last week’s rally fuelled by falling crude prices and optimism over foreign inflows.

The Indian rupee dropped 0.02 percent versus the US dollar to 93.9275, snapping a six-session winning run, amid thin trading volumes, as dollar bids from state-run lenders outweighed the recent positive momentum.

The benchmark 6.94 percent 2036 bond yield settled at 7.1529 percent, nearly 4 basis points below Friday’s close.
