Shares of crude oil-sensitive companies, including IndiGo and HPCL, surged up to 10% as global oil prices fell sharply following a US-Iran ceasefire. The Sensex rose over 2,500 points, with aviation, oil marketing, paint, and tyre stocks benefiting from lower crude prices. IndiGo gained 10%, HPCL over 8%, and paint companies like Asian Paints rose nearly 5%. The decline in crude prices, now below $100 per barrel, is expected to reduce inflation risks and improve profitability for oil-dependent sectors, reversing previous pressures from rising oil prices.
