Sensex, Nifty Rise As Investors Watch US-Iran De-Escalation
The Sensex and Nifty are important measures of how stocks are performing.
They rose on September 23.
Investors were watching for signs that tensions between the United States and Iran might ease.
Lower tensions could help bring oil prices down.
Oil prices have already fallen more than 8% in 10 days.
The rupee also recovered, which may have encouraged investors.
One analyst said stocks look more reasonably priced than before.
He also said banking companies could help lead a recovery.
The Sensex and Nifty rose as investors monitored signs of easing tensions between the United States and Iran.
Global crude oil prices have fallen more than 8% over the past 10 days, according to G. Chokkalingam.
Chokkalingam said oil prices could decline further if negotiations between the United States and Iran continue.
A recovery in the rupee and a Sensex trailing price-to-earnings ratio below 20 may improve market sentiment.
Banking stocks could lead a market recovery, supported by strong deposit and credit growth.
