Major Asian markets closed in green. European markets are currently trading in the green.

Today’s Moves

Adani Group stocks Adani Enterprises (+16.94%), Adani Ports (+9.91%), Adani Green Energy (+5%), and Adani Trans (+5%) rallied today after US-based GQG Partners invested Rs 15,446 crore in four portfolio companies.

SBIN (+5.14) shot up amid media reports that the bank may lower its stake in YES Bank.
