These companies were also in profit

Between favorable global signals and strong domestic basic figures, foreign investors have pure Rs 4,223 crore in the Indian stock market in April and have become pure buying for the first time after three months. Earlier this year, a continuous net withdrawal of Rs 3,973 crore, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January was seen to be pure withdrawal.
Vinod Nair, head of research of Jiojit Investment Limited, said the market has maintained its positive speed, although optimism has reduced slightly. Constant foreign flows and record GST collection in April reflects strength in economic activities, which creates mild expectations. The decline in weak dollars and crude oil prices has also strengthened the notion of FIIs.
Meanwhile, the markets in South Korea, Japan, China and Hong Kong remained closed due to holidays. Europe’s markets were trading with mixed trends in the afternoon session. The American markets closed very fast on Friday. Global oil standard Brent crude fell 1.45 percent to $ 60.40 per barrel. Language edited by: Sudhir Sharma
