  • Sensex nudges up as oil prices drop and rupee strengthens
    May 21, 2026, 3:46 AM EDT. Indian shares edged higher on Thursday, with the BSE Sensex up 0.20% and the Nifty 50 gaining 0.30%. The rise followed a decline in Brent crude oil prices, which dipped 5.6% near $106 a barrel, and a rebound in the rupee supported by Reserve Bank of India dollar sales. Despite early gains fading, investor sentiment improved amid easing inflation pressures and stabilizing currency. Key earnings influenced moves, with Apollo Hospitals posting a 36% profit increase and Lenskart Solutions reporting 46% revenue growth. Caution persisted over Ola Electric due to a 5% revenue decline. Market momentum depends on crude oil trends and rupee stability as investors balance earnings strength against macroeconomic challenges like high U.S. bond yields.
