Reliance and Infosys suffered minor losses
On one hand, while 8 companies earned huge profits, on the other hand the value of Reliance Industries and Infosys has declined. Infosys’ market cap declined by Rs 3,285.03 crore to Rs 5.24 lakh crore. At the same time, the value of the country’s most valuable company Reliance Industries has also decreased by Rs 947.28 crore. However, despite the decline, Reliance remains the country’s number-1 company with a value of Rs 18.27 lakh crore.
2 big reasons for the rise in the market
According to market experts, there were mainly two reasons behind the rise last week:
- Crude oil prices fell: The domestic market got relief when the prices of Brent crude fell below $100 in the international market. India imports a large part of its oil needs, so the cheapness of oil had a direct impact on the market sentiment.
- Geopolitical Reforms: Investor confidence was boosted by news of a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran. However, experts say that there is still uncertainty, due to which the pace of further progress may be limited.
