Markets rose on Monday to their highest in more than two weeks, with technology and metal stocks leading the gains, as easing oil prices tempered inflation fears.
The Nifty rose 1.2% to 15,887.15 in early trade and Sensex climbed 1.16% to 53,340.36, on track for a third straight session of gains.
Broader Asian peers also advanced after major Wall Street indexes posted sharp gains on Friday, as oil slid on demand worries, easing fears of prolonged inflation and aggressive tightening by the US Federal Reserve.
"With commodities going down sharply, there is expectation that the Fed might not be as aggressive on policy, and that has alleviated recession fears," said Aishvarya Dadheech, a fund manager at Ambit Asset Management in Mumbai.
"But this is just a ray of hope in a tough time which investors are latching on to. Unless there is better clarity on inflation in the coming months, markets will remain on the sidelines."
