Sensex and Nifty, the two key equity benchmarks, on Wednesday were trading higher amid steady global cues and healthy buying in metal, financials, and select IT and FMCG stocks.

On the 30-share Sensex platform, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, Wipro, HDFC, Kotak Bank, ITC, and others were the early winners, rising in the range of 1 per cent to 2.1 per cent. On the flip side, Tata Motors, M&M, SBI, UltraCemco, L&T, IndusInd Bank, and others were trading in the red.

Among specific stocks, Bank of India fell over 4 per cent even as it posted net profit of Rs 1,151 crore, up 12 per cent YoY and 20 per cent sequentially. Delta Corp, too, tumbled over 4 per cent after the company reported a standalone net profit of Rs 74.2 crore for the quarter ended December, 2022, (Q3FY23) as against a profit of Rs 66.86 crore recorded in Q3FY22

In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices gained to 0.2 per cent each.

Meanwhile, the rupee depreciated 13 paise to 81.82 against the US dollar in early trade on Wednesday, as a strengthening American currency and firm crude oil prices weighed on investor sentiments.
