INDIA STOCKS-Indian shares rise as banking crisis fears ebb; financials lead

By Bharath Rajeswaran BENGALURU, March 21 (Reuters) Indian shares advanced on Tuesday, led by financials, as the rescue of troubled European lender Credit Suisse provided temporary relief, although contagion fears in banking cast a shadow. The Nifty 50 index .NSEI was up 0.40% at 17,055.95, while the S&P BSE Sensex .BSESN rose 0.42% to 57,866.52, as of 11:07 a.m.

IST. Eleven of the 13 major sectoral indexes advanced with high-weightage financials .NIFTYFIN rising 0.6%. Thirty-two of the Nifty 50 constituents logged gains.

Reliance Industries RELI.NS, the stock with the highest weightage in the Nifty 50, advanced more than 2.5% after global brokerage firm CLSA termed it a “bargain buy” at its current valuations. The rise in domestic equities follows an uptick in global markets as concerns over the banking crisis easedafter UBS’ state-backed takeover of Credit Suisse. The quick execution of Credit Suisse’s takeover is a temporary relief but worries of contagion in global banking remain, analysts said.

“So far, five banks globally have succumbed- from Silvergate to Credit Suisse,” said Aishvarya Dadheech, fund manager at Ambit Asset Management, adding that he expects “more worms to come out,” keeping markets volatile in the near term. Indian IT companies get a significant share of their revenue from the U.S. and European markets. Market participants now await the U.S.

Federal Reserve’s policy decision on Wednesday. “The Fed has an unenviable job to control inflation with interest rate hikes, while also controlling the consequences of its rate hikes,” said Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

The history of Singapore Airlines tells a tale of reinvention and innovation that makes it the world’s most awarded airline. The story began back in 1947, when Malayan Airways Limited commenced the weekly Airspeed Consul twin-engine airliner flights from Singapore Kallang Airport to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang. At the height of the golden Jet Age in 1966 the airline was renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and in 1968 the custom-made sarong kebaya uniforms by French couture-designer Pierre Balmain – became the calling card of the brand. From 1972 the airline was known as Singapore Airlines and had launched its first transcontinental flights (the same year that the famous Singapore Girl came into existence). In 1977, British Airways and Singapore Airlines shared a Concorde for flights between London and Singapore International Airport. It delivered another first when it flew a commercial B747-400 aircraft across the Pacific in 1989 and once again when it broke its own world record for the longest non-stop commercial flight from Singapore to New York. Then, of course, there was the first commercial flight of an A380 in 2007. The airline continues to revolutionise itself with the philosophy of offering the best service in the air and on the ground. It has unveiled new cabin classes, invested in its lounges and introduced new mobile offerings, making it a great way to fly. Begin your next adventure to Asia, Australia and New Zealand in style with 5-Star Skytrax rated Singapore Airlines, the world’s most awarded airline. Recent accolades have included gongs for ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’ and ‘Most Recommended’ from the Guardian in 2016.
