Oil India Rallies To 8-Year High. Here's Why.

In news from the energy sector, Oil India's share price soared up to 8% to an eight-year high today as a surprise attack by Hamas and Israel's war call re-ignited geopolitical tensions and sent crude oil prices surging.

Brent crude oil futures climbed nearly 5% to US$ 88.76 a barrel. On the other hand, US WTI crude also saw a 5% rise to US$ 87.0 a barrel level.

Any supply disruptions from the Middle East following the Israel-Hamas war can lead to a further rise in Crude prices.

The rising crude prices are to provide a sentimental boost to the stock.

Why Did Hero Motocorp Tumble 2.75% Today?

Moving on to news from the auto sector, plunged 3% in Monday's trade after the Delhi Police registered an FIR (first information report) against the company's chairman, managing director and CEO Pawan Kant Munjal, and three others, alleging 'forgery'.

The FIR relates to an old matter dating back to before 2010. This case has nothing to do with any of the ongoing investigations and tax probes.

Earlier in August this year, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) recovered assets worth US$ 3 m from Munjal and others following a money-laundering investigation.

ED's probe follows complaints shares of Hero MotoCorp that US$ 6.53 m worth of foreign currency and other valuable items were illegally moved to offshore locations by Hero's third-party vendor that was later used by Munjal for his expenses.

The agency recovered foreign currency, cash, gold, and diamond jewellery worth about Rs 250 m after it conducted searches at 12 premises owned by the company and its promoter.

The ED's actions come after the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in June had ordered an investigation into Hero's relationship with the third-party vendor, Salt Experience and Management, in a case related to the alleged diversion of funds.

Why Adani Port's Share Price Is Falling.

Moving on to news from the ports sector, the stock price of Adani Ports fell 4% on mounting concern over the fate of the Haifa Port that the Gautam Adani-led company controls in northern Israel after the Hamas launched an attack on the country.

The company had acquired the port in northern Israel earlier this year for a total consideration of US$ 1.18 bn.

Last year, a consortium of Adani Ports and Gadot Group won the tender to privatise the Haifa Port, with the Adani Group holding a 70% stake in the consortium. The port is one of Israel's major seaports and is responsible for the majority of the country's imports and exports.

The Haifa Port is the second largest port in the country, the biggest in terms of tourist cruise ships. It is located north of the region of conflict, which is the southern and central parts of Israel.
