BSE Sensex指数周二早盘下跌162点,跌幅0.2%,至82165点,连续第二个交易日下跌,触及两周低点。汽车、银行和金融服务行业的疲软推动了这一下降。尽管特朗普总统和中国领导人Xi计划在10月底举行会晤,但在美中贸易紧张局势再次升级之际,投资者情绪仍保持谨慎。作为缓和局势努力的一部分,会晤仍按计划进行。额外的压力来自对美国政府持续关闭的担忧以及对今天晚些时候公布的9月份批发价格数据的预期。从积极的一面来看,9月份的通胀数据增加了人们对印度储备银行12月份政策会议降息的希望,此前通胀率降至印度储备银行2%的下限。其中最大的落后者是安讯士银行(-1.1%)、巴贾吉金融(-1.0%)、印度工业银行(-0.8%)和铃木汽车公司(0.8%)。
The BSE Sensex fell 162 points, or 0.2%, to 82,165 in morning trade on Tuesday, marking its second consecutive session of losses and hitting a two-week low. The decline was driven by weakness in the auto, banking, and financial services sectors. Investor sentiment remained cautious amid renewed US-China trade tensions, despite plans for a meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in late October, which remains on schedule as part of efforts to de-escalate the situation. Additional pressure came from concerns over the ongoing US government shutdown and anticipation of wholesale price data for September, due later today. On the positive side, September’s inflation data raised hopes for an interest rate cut at the RBI’s December policy meeting, after inflation fell below the RBI’s lower tolerance limit of 2%. Among the biggest laggards were Axis Bank (-1.1%), Bajaj Finance (-1.0%), IndusInd Bank (-0.8%), and Maruti Suzuki (-0.8%).
