India's benchmark indexes advanced during Wednesday morning trading as Brent Crude Oil hovered near two-week lows, led by gains in heavyweight financials. The Nifty 50 rose 0.5% to 23,446.80, while the BSE Sensex gained 0.4% to 74,828.25. The retreat in oil prices offered broad relief to the import-dependent economy and boosted domestic risk appetite.
