Stock market bounces back; banks, metals shine
Sensex was up 599.34 points, or 0.83 per cent at 73,088.33, while the Nifty was up 151.20 points or 0.69 per cent at 22,147.
The Rupee weakened by eight paise to 65.44 against the US Dollar in early trade on Tuesday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange due to appreciation of the American currency overseas.
Dealers attributed the Rupee's fall to increased demand for the US currency from importers.
However, a higher opening in the domestic equity market capped the losses.
