Indian share markets witnessed a volatile trading session today as crude oil prices rebounded following last week's rout.

After a gap down opening, benchmark indices were lifted by positive global peers while oil prices rose over renewed supply concerns.

At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex ended flat at 53,177 (up 16 points).

Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty closed higher by 18 points (up 0.1%).

M&M, Reliance Industries, and Tata Steel were among the top gainers today.

Asian Paints, Titan, and Bajaj Finserv, on the other hand, were among the top losers today.

The SGX Nifty was trading at 15,849, up by 11 points, at the time of writing.

The BSE MidCap index and the BSE SmallCap index both ended up by 0.2%.

Among the sectoral indices, stocks in the metal sector, IT sector, and auto sector witnessed buying. On the other hand, stocks in the banking and financial sector witnessed most of the selling.

Shares of Maharashtra Seamless and M&M hit their respective 52-week highs today.

As crude oil prices fell last week and there are rumors that central banks may go slow on rising interest rates, the Indian share markets recovered a bit.

But no one knows how long the stock market recovery will continue.

In volatile times like current one, it's better to have high ROE stocks and high dividend yield stocks in your portfolio.

Asian share markets ended on a positive note today.

The Nikkei gained 0.7% while the Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite both ended higher by 0.9%.

US stock futures are trading on a positive note today with the Dow Jones Futures trading up by 150 points.

The rupee hit a record low and is trading at 78.79 against the US$.

Concerns of sustained inflation have sent the rupee tumbling although intermittent dollar selling by the central bank helped limit losses.

Gold prices for the latest contract on MCX are trading up by 0.4% at Rs 50,860 per 10 grams.

Moving on to news from the banking sector, SBI share price was among the top buzzing stocks today.

This week State Bank of India received in-principle approval from central bank for its proposed operations support subsidiary which is aimed at bringing down the cost-to-income ratio.

The subsidiary will enable the lender to leverage its high cost manpower for more productive services.

SBI's cost to income ratio stood at 53.3% in financial year 2022, an improvement of 240 basis points over fiscal 2019 levels.
