Sensex Rises 473 Points as FMCG and Banks Lead Recovery
Indian share markets rose on Monday after falling recently.
The Sensex gained about 473 points, and the Nifty climbed back above 22,500.
Shares in consumer goods, energy and banks helped lift the markets.
Lower oil prices and positive signals from overseas also helped investors feel more hopeful.
But some worries remained, including investors from abroad selling shares and the rupee staying weak.
Analysts said the rise may be a short-term bounce rather than proof that markets will keep climbing.
They are watching oil prices, currency movements and central bank decisions.
The Sensex closed at 72,382.47, up 472.77 points, or 0.66%.
The Nifty gained 133.80 points, or 0.60%, to settle at 22,555.75 and regain 22,500.
FMCG led sectoral advances with a 1.67% rise; telecom, consumer durables and financial services also gained.
Positive global cues and lower crude prices supported sentiment, while foreign selling, high US Treasury yields and a weak rupee remained concerns.
Analysts called the move a relief rally and said volatility and resistance levels make the outlook cautious.
