Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bank stocks jumped on 5 October after Q2 business updates, with the Nifty Bank index touching 55,192.65, up 1.4%, as YES Bank, HDFC Bank, AU Small Finance Bank and PNB gained up to 3%. YES Bank reported loans up 23.8% and deposits up 19.5%, AU SFB deposits up 28.6% and HDFC Bank deposits up 18.8%. Part of the headline growth came from foreign-currency FCNR(B) deposits, which make up about 3.3% of HDFC Bank’s deposits, so underlying growth is lower than the headline. Some stocks slipped into the red later on profit booking, which shows investors want formal Q2 results to confirm margins.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Bank stocks led the 5 October rebound, but the details behind the headline numbers matter. The Nifty Bank index rose 1.4% to an intraday high of 55,192.65, and early in the session all 14 constituents were in the green, with YES Bank, HDFC Bank, AU Small Finance Bank and Punjab National Bank gaining up to 3%. The YES Bank share price, the HDFC Bank share price and the AU Small Finance Bank share price all rose.<\/p>\n
