Mumbai: Bombay High Court has set aside FSSAI order banning Maggi noodles. However, Nestle will not manufacture or sell Maggi till testing is completed. The stock is up 5 percent.
The market has bounced back after four days of losses led higher by the bank Nifty as global markets stabilised and sentiment is boosted by the CPI data for July that came in much better than estimates at 3.78 percent versus 5.4 percent in June.
Rupee, however, slipped to the day's low after a decent start. The Sensex is up 129.66 points or 0.5 percent at 27641.92, and the Nifty up 38.25 points or 0.5 percent at 8387.70. About 1311 shares have advanced, 980 shares declined, and 117 shares are unchanged. Bharti Airtel, Cipla, Lupin, SBI and Hero MotoCorp are top gainers in the Sensex.
Among the losers are Tata Steel, Vedanta, GAIL, Hindalco and Wipro. China's central bank said that there was no basis for further depreciation in the yuan given strong economic fundamentals, in a bid to reassure jittery global markets after it devalued the currency earlier in the week.
As the yuan fell for the third straight day, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said the country's strong economic environment, sustained trade surplus, sound fiscal position and deep foreign exchange reserves provided "strong support" to the exchange rate.
China's decision to devalue the currency on Tuesday by pushing its official guidance rate down 2 percent sparked fears of a "currency war" and roiled global financial markets, dragging other Asian currencies to multi-year lows.
