India's Markets Rise as FII Inflows Return, Oil Prices Drop
The Indian stock market, which includes the Sensex and Nifty, went up today because people are feeling more confident.
A man named Mahajan thinks that foreign investors will start putting money back into India later this year.
President Trump said the U.S. stopped a big attack on Iran, which made people worry less about oil prices.
Because of that, oil prices dropped.
All of this made the market look better and more people want to invest in India.
Indian stock indices Sensex and Nifty rose 609 and 191 points respectively amid positive sentiment.
FII inflows expected to return to India in the second half of the year, with July FPI inflows at Rs 20,200 crore.
Trump’s comment that the US called off a potential "biggest attack since World War II" on Iran eased geopolitical tensions and lowered oil prices.
Brent crude fell 7% to $81.93 as oil prices dropped following the Trump statement.
Mahajan predicts August will set the tone for money flowing back to India, citing a reversal in global AI trade and strong domestic earnings.
