The index of India’s top fifty stocks was at 15,855 on August 2. The biggest gainers on the Nifty were Adani Ports, Bajaj Finserv, and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), followed by <keyword id="6354287" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharti-airtel" source="Orion">Bharti Airtel</keyword>, which surged more than 2% as investors cheered the proposed ₹21,000 crore rights issue. Adani Group stocks topped the list of gainers on the Nifty 200. Aside from being a new high, this is also the fastest 1,000 point gain for the index, according to news channel CNBC-TV18. BSE Sensex, too, scaled above 57,143 at 12:30 p.m., on August 31. The latest leg of the rally was fuelled by a fresh wave of buying by foreign portfolio investors after the US Federal Reserve seemed to be less fearful of rising inflation at home. Net buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) stood at ₹1,202.81 crore (around $1.6 million at current exchange rates), while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net bought shares worth ₹688.85 crore, as per provisional data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on August 30. This also allowed the rupee to hit its highest level against the dollar today (Aug 31). Information technology (IT), banks, metals and pharmaceutical stocks saw good buying in the month of August. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

Nifty tops 17,000 points to set a new record ⁠— the fastest 1,000 point rally in the history of India’s benchmark index

Mumbai, July 10 () The Indian rupee dropped 17 paise to trade at 75.16 against the American currency in opening deals on Friday on emergence of demand for US dollar from importers and banks. The local unit had closed at 74.99 a dollar on Thursday. Forex traders attributed the rupee's weakness to stronger US dollar against its key rival currencies. The dollar index, which measures the American currency's strength against a basket of major currencies, was at 96.8640, up 0.17 per cent. Meanwhile, global crude oil benchmark Brent Futures declined 0.78 per cent to trade at USD 42.02 per barrel. On the equity market front, Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were marginally lower in early trade. Foreign investors bought equities worth Rs 212.77 crore on Thursday, exchange data showed.
