PSU Banks rally!!!
Mon, 17 Aug 01:30 pm

The Indian Indices have trimmed losses after opening the day on a pessimistic note. Sectoral indices are trading mixed with stocks from the oil and gas and capital goods sectors witnessing selling pressure. However stocks from banking and metal sector are witnessing buying interest.

The BSE-Sensex is trading down by 117 points (0.4%) and the NSE-Nifty is trading down by 21 points (0.2%). The S&P BSE Midcap and S&P BSE Smallcap index is trading up by 0.4% & 0.3% respectively.

The rupee is trading at 65.29 to the US dollar.

Most of the stocks in telecom sector are trading on a positive note. As per an article in economic times, the telecom tower companies could save around Rs 15 bn a year on their diesel bills if petroleum products are added to the list covered under the proposed Goods & Service Tax (GST) regime. The potential saving might be too small to pass on to the customers. However the same may be used to improve the infrastructure of the telecom majors. Estimates put the telecom industry's diesel consumption at 2 billion litres a year and the same costs approximately Rs 85bn.
