Benchmarks snap 4-day losing streak; Nifty settles above 23,400
Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak to close higher on Wednesday, aided by value buying in beaten-down stocks. Market recovered from early volatility and profit booking to rebound sharply from intraday lows, with the Nifty settling above the 23,400 mark. Gains were led by metal, consumer durable and energy shares, while IT and auto stocks remained under pressure.

INR closes at all-time low as global risk aversion resurfaces
The Indian rupee depreciated 35 paise to close at an all-time low of 95.63 (provisional) against the US dollar on Tuesday, as renewed tension between the US and Iran has led to risk aversion in global markets. Market sentiment remained dominated by fears that the 10-week-old conflict could further tighten global supply, particularly after President Donald Trump rejected Tehran's latest response to a US-backed peace proposal, calling it totally unacceptable. Moreover, market participants interpreted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments over the weekend regarding fuel conservation and lower imports as a subtle acknowledgement that India's trade deficit and balance-of-payments pressures could worsen if crude prices remain elevated for longer. The Sensex tumbled 1,456.04 points (1.92%) to settle at 74,559.24, while the Nifty 50 dropped 436.30 points (1.83%) to end at 23,379.55.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.57 against the US dollar and then fell further to an all-time low of 95.63 against the greenback, down 35 paise from its previous close.
