STOCKS

-----------------------

India's BSE index up 0.8 percent at 19,581.24 and

the broader NSE index gains 0.78 percent to 5,951.30, as

Wall Street rallied on Monday and the White House and

congressional lawmakers reached a deal to avoid the 'fiscal

cliff'.

GOVERNMENT BONDS

-------------------------------

The 10-year benchmark bond yield at 7.99 percent versus its

previous close of 8.05 percent, after the central bank shifted a

bond auction scheduled this week and said it will buy up to 80

billion rupees of bonds on Friday.

RUPEE

--------------

The rupee at 54.80/82 per dollar versus its previous close

of 54.99/55.00, boosted by a deal to avert the U.S. 'fiscal

cliff', but gains were capped by a surge in the country's

current account deficit. ??

The 1-year OIS rate down 2 basis points (bps) at 7.58

percent, while the 5-year rate also falls 3 bps to 7.09 percent.
