周三,印度BSE Sensex指数上涨约0.2%,收于81481.9点,连续第二天下微上涨,尽管对美联储即将做出的决定持谨慎态度,且印度与美国贸易协议延迟的不确定性挥之不去,但收益强劲,支撑了该指数。印度政府消息人士告诉路透社,在8月1日达成协议的最后期限之前,印度正在为美国对一些出口产品征收20-25%的更高关税做准备。在行业方面,工业、公用事业和电力股表现最佳,而汽车股和金融股面临抛售压力。Larsen&Toubro股价上涨超过4%,此前这家基础设施巨头报告称,在海外订单强劲增长的推动下,6月份季度综合净利润增长了29.8%。不利的一面是,塔塔汽车公司股价下跌超过3%,此前有新闻报道称,该公司计划以45亿美元收购意大利卡车制造商依维柯,这引发了人们对其资产负债表潜在压力的担忧。
India's BSE Sensex closed about 0.2% higher at 81,481.9 on Wednesday, advancing slightly for the second day, supported by strong earnings despite caution over the Fed’s upcoming decision and lingering uncertainty over a delayed India-US trade deal. India is bracing for higher US tariffs of 20–25% on some exports ahead of an August 1 deadline to seal an agreement, government sources told Reuters. On the sectoral front, industrials, utilities, and power were the top performers while auto shares and financials faced selling pressure. Larsen & Toubro jumped over 4% after the infrastructure major reported a 29.8% rise in consolidated net profit during the June quarter, driven by strong overseas order growth. On the downside, Tata Motors shed over 3% following news reports of its plans to buy Italian truck maker Iveco for $4.5 billion, which raised concerns over a potential strain to its balance sheet.
