Equities in India climbed 345 points, or 0.4%, to 82,131 in morning trade on Tuesday, reversing losses from the previous session and reaching their highest level since July 24. The gains were supported by optimism surrounding US trade talks with both China and India. The BSE Sensex followed an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight, buoyed by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and progress in US-China negotiations.
