Indian equity markets ended a five-session losing streak on Monday, driven by a sharp decline in crude oil prices and growing optimism surrounding corporate earnings.
The Nifty 50 index rose 0.96% to close at 23,995.95, while the broader BSE Sensex added 1.02% to finish at 76,835.78.
The rebound marks a clear shift in sentiment after weeks of volatility linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The retreat in energy costs provided immediate relief to Indian investors, who have been closely monitoring the impact of higher oil prices on the country’s trade deficit and inflation outlook.
As Brent crude prices softened, pressure on the rupee eased, and market participants began to rotate back into domestic equities.
The move underscores the persistent sensitivity of emerging-market assets to global energy supply dynamics, particularly for net importers like India.
