What happened
Indian shares rose for a fourth straight session, with the Sensex and Nifty moving higher. The move was helped by strong corporate earnings, easing oil prices and early signs of a revival in foreign investor inflows.
Why it matters
Lower oil prices can reduce cost pressure for Indian companies and improve market sentiment. A pickup in foreign investor inflows can support large-cap stocks, liquidity and the rupee, which can spill over into broader equities.
Global impact
Easing oil and better risk appetite usually support markets beyond India as well. If foreign money is returning to emerging markets, Indian equities can benefit through stronger flows and improved sentiment.
