Oil Stocks in Focus
Shares of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) are in focus today as investors track crude oil price movements. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), IOC shares opened at Rs 145.20, BPCL at Rs 385.50, and HPCL at Rs 295.80. Analysts attribute the steady performance to expectations of healthy margins and stable demand.
Global Crude Oil Impact
Global crude oil prices have been volatile due to geopolitical tensions and supply concerns. Brent crude futures hovered around $82 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was near $78 per barrel. A slight dip in international prices has provided relief to domestic fuel prices, though any sharp increase could lead to revision in retail rates.
