Indian equities logged gains on Friday, July 21 on the back of upbeat earnings releases from Reliance Industries and Wipro. Energy, O&G and high-tech names outperformed the broader market, while automotive, utility and real estate stocks were out of favor. Recapping the benchmarks, the Nifty 50 advanced 0.42% to 9,915.25, and the BSE Sensex closed 0.39% higher at 32,028.89. By 10:40 GMT, USD/INR ticked up 0.01% to 64.330, and EUR/INR firmed 0.04% to 74.9245. The 10-year Indian government bond yield stood at 6.438%. Software exporter Wipro soared 6.3% as the company released better-than-expected quarterly earnings and announced a USD 1.71 bn share buyback program. Reliance Industries surged 3.7% on the back of strong financial performance for the last quarter. Notably, other telecom players Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular pulled back 2.02% and 3.26%, respectively. The daily chart shows that the BSE is trading within a rising triangle, nearing its upper end, while the Slow Stochastic Oscillator is bull-friendly at this point. In our view, the benchmark is likely to complete this pattern and head higher in the short term.
