Indian Stocks Rise as Oil Cools, NSE IPO Attracts Bids
Indian share prices went up on Monday.
The Sensex gained 564 points, while the Nifty rose for the fourth day in a row.
Investors felt better because oil prices became cheaper and money came into Indian markets from foreign investors.
Stock markets in other countries also showed a positive trend.
Cheaper oil may help India’s import costs, inflation and company profits.
UltraTech Cement was one of the biggest winners.
Some companies, including Bharti Airtel and Infosys, lost value.
The market was still careful because geopolitical uncertainty continued.
The National Stock Exchange of India’s large share sale was almost six times oversubscribed.
This means investors asked to buy nearly six times more shares than were available.
The Sensex rose 564.03 points, or 0.76%, to close at 74,858.99.
The Nifty gained 67.90 points, or 0.29%, for its fourth consecutive session of gains.
Cooling crude oil prices, foreign fund inflows and stronger global equities supported investor sentiment.
UltraTech Cement led Sensex gainers, while Bharti Airtel, Power Grid, Infosys and Adani Ports declined.
The National Stock Exchange of India’s Rs 22,569-crore IPO was nearly six times subscribed on its final bidding day.
