Indian Stocks Rise as Sensex, Nifty Gain on Value Buying
Indian share prices went up on Monday after falling for six weeks.
The Nifty and Sensex both finished higher.
Some investors bought shares they thought had become cheaper.
Banks, oil companies, and other large businesses helped the market.
Cheaper crude oil also helped oil-sensitive companies.
But metal and public-sector bank shares fell, and many Tata Group shares dropped.
Investors are worried about a disagreement between Tata Trusts and Tata Sons.
World events, including tensions involving the Strait of Hormuz and the United States and Iran, made investors cautious.
Analysts said markets could rise or fall depending on important price levels and upcoming Trump-Xi talks.
The Nifty rose 0.29% to 23,414, while the Sensex gained 0.81% to 74,894 on Monday, 21 September.
Buying in HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, ONGC and Reliance Industries supported the advance after six consecutive weekly market declines.
Pharma, realty, FMCG, consumer durables, and oil and gas stocks gained, while metal and PSU bank shares lagged.
Tata Group stocks fell amid an escalating dispute between Tata Trusts and Tata Sons over leadership, structure, and the proposed Tata Sons listing.
Brent crude fell 2.1% to $101.65 per barrel, while Asian markets gained ahead of expected Trump-Xi talks; analysts outlined both upside and downside technical scenarios.
