Sensex, Nifty Reverse After Rs 10 Lakh Crore Wipeout as Rupee Jumps, Iran Oil Fears Linger
Indian shares swung back from a sharp opening selloff on Thursday to finish slightly higher after Reserve Bank of India action triggered the rupee’s biggest one-day jump since 2013, softening a market shock set off by fresh U.S. threats against Iran. The Sensex rose 0.25% to 73,319.55 and the Nifty 50 gained 0.15% to 22,713.10 after both fell more than 2% intraday, though both still logged a sixth straight weekly decline in the holiday-shortened week.
