After opening the day on a positive note, Indian share markets continued their uptrend and ended their day on a positive note. Gains were largely seen in the telecom sector and FMCG sector leading the gains.

At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex stood higher by 315 points (up 1.1%) and the NSE Nifty closed higher by 90 points (up 1%). The BSE Mid Cap index ended the day up by 0.9%, while the BSE Small Cap index ended the day up by 0.8%.

Asian stock markets finished mixed as of the most recent closing prices. The Hang Seng gained 0.51% and the Nikkei gained 0.29%. The Shanghai Composite lost 0.93%. European markets are also trading mixed today with shares in London leading the region. The FTSE 100 is up 0.25% while Germany's DAX is down 0.05% and France's CAC 40 is down 0.15%. The rupee was trading at 64.65 to the US$ at the time of writing.

The dream run in Indian share markets is showing little signs of coming to an end. This we say as domestic equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty scaled life-time highs today.

Buying interest was seen on the back of Indian Metrological Department's (IMD) forecast of a normal rainfall this calendar year and positive cues from Asian markets.

Also, the ongoing earnings season has fueled the ongoing rally seen in domestic markets of late.

This brings us to the question of how can one make money in a rising market?

I believe a few super investors could provide the clue. These are the guys who've beaten the markets black and blue and have an eye for multi bagger stocks.

With respect to which super investors to follow, my colleague Kunal and Rohan have could be of great help courtesy their project, The Superinvestors of India.

Moving on to the news from the commodity markets. Crude oil sought respite and witnessed buying interest today. This came after Saudi Arabia reported that it would cut supplies to Asian customers as OPEC tries to counter rising US output that is threatening to derail its attempts to end a sustained global crude glut.

As reported by Reuters, state-owned Saudi Aramco is set to reduce oil supplies to Asian customers by about 7 million barrels in June as part of OPEC's agreement to reduce production.

One shall note that crude oil is witnessing selling pressure of late on concerns of rising supplies.

Oversupply Concerns Drag Crude Oil Lower

The above oversupply is seen despite major oil producers agreeing to cut production by 1.8 million barrels per day for the first of 2017. Thus, market participants are now worried that OPEC-led production cuts may not significantly tighten the rising inventory supplies.

All eyes are now set on the upcoming meet between the OPEC and participating non-OPEC countries which is scheduled for May 25^th to discuss whether to extend the curbs in oil production in the second half of this year.

More production cuts will mean curb in crude oil supplies and support Brent crude oil prices.

One shall note that crude oil prices have been remarkably silent over the last two years. Prices have remained within a tight range, rarely dropping below US$ 40 or rising above US$ 60. Volatility has crashed. If you are trading crude oil, it's critical to understand why this has occurred.

One of the issues of Vivek Kaul's Inner Circle (requires subscription) explains what has triggered the above taming in crude oil prices.
