The country's top 10 most-valued firms gained a cumulative Rs 53,448 crore in market valuation on Tuesday, with HDFC Bank Ltd. and State Bank of India emerging as the biggest gainers.

India's benchmark stock indices recovered during the last two hours of trade on Tuesday, recording their best session since Sept. 20, supported by rising banking stocks, even as global market participants await the outcome of the US election.
The NSE Nifty 50 ended 0.91%, or 217.95 points, higher at 24,213.30, and the BSE Sensex ended 0.88%, or 694.39 points, up at 79,476.63. Intraday, both Nifty and Sensex fell as much as 0.6% each.
Market participants now look forward to the US election outcome, according to Shrisha Acharya, vice president at Anand Rathi Global Finance. The Trump card, coupled with potential Republican control, could shoot US yields higher due to anticipated increases in deficit spending, inflation risks, and potential tax cuts, Acharya said.
