What shaped the market today?

Ahead of the outcome of the MPC meeting tomorrow, the NSE ASI ended a 6-session gaining streak, down 7bps amidst a seesaw trading session. Global markets traded higher following a rally in oil price after comments from Venezuelan President hinted a possible output stabilizing deal.

So also, the Oil & Gas sector (+16bps) on advances in TOTAL (+500bps) and another 10% rally in CONOIL amidst a 352bps decline in FO.
