India's Nifty 50 rose 1.32% to 24,031.70 on Monday morning as falling oil prices triggered a recovery in risk assets. The benchmark reached its highest level since May 8, 2026 after Brent Crude Oil futures dropped 5.5% to $97.8 per barrel. Easing energy costs provide relief to Indian markets, which have seen foreign outflows worth $23.86 billion so far this year.
