"HDFC Bank led the recovery on the back of a potential increase in the bank's weightage in the MSCI emerging markets index. Yesterday, the bank reported June 2024 quarter shareholding data which showed that the FII ownership stands at 54.8% which triggered the possible increase in the MSCI emerging markets index, and if this comes in the market then it can potentially bring inflows of $3.2 billion to $4 billion," Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research) at Mehta Equities Ltd, said.
HDFC Bank alone contributed 249.03 points to the 30-share BSE Sensex smart rally.
"Private banks saw healthy buying after HDFC Bank released its Q1 FY25 shareholding data, wherein the FII ownership has declined to 54.8%, below the 55% mark, indicating greater MSCI inflows," Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said.
