India’s BSE Sensex rose about 1.2% to 77,816 on Monday, rebounding from the previous session’s decline as easing oil prices and tentative signs of cooling geopolitical tensions supported sentiment. Crude has retreated to around $109 per barrel after reports that the US is deploying military forces to escort and free vessels in the Strait of Hormuz while reviewing Iran’s peace proposal. Investors are also closely watching election results from four Indian states, including Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, along with one union territory. On the corporate front, focus is on Kotak Mahindra Bank following a profit beat, Adani Enterprises after reporting a rare quarterly loss, and Avenue Supermarts amid steady earnings growth, while auto stocks are also drawing attention after the release of April sales data. Financials, consumer durables and non-durables led the gains, with top gainers included HFCL (+5%), Meesho (+6.8%), Vedanta (+7.9%), Aster DM (+4.8%), and Hindustan Unilever (+4.4%).
