Indian shares set to open higher as oil hits 2-month low after US Democratic win

What the coverage says

Indian markets are positioned for a positive opening according to Mint, with GIFT Nifty futures standing at 24,295.5 following Wednesday's close of 23,960.6 for the Nifty 50. The Hindu later reported that domestic stock markets actually opened near three-month highs, driven by gains across fourteen of sixteen major sectors and jumps of over one percent in small-caps and mid-caps. This market activity coincides with a drop in oil prices, which The Hindu noted fell to a two-month low as Brent crude futures slid one percent to $93.5 per barrel following an earlier 8.7 percent decline. Both outlets attribute this drop in oil prices and the corresponding market conditions to a "U.S. Democratic win."
