One of the most-talented Indian investors, Ashish Kacholia, known as the ‘big whale’ or ‘the king of small-cap stocks’ in India has raised his shareholding in the shares of BSE-listed Yasho Industries Limited to 2.60 per cent from 2.55 per cent in the company during April to June 2022 quarter.  

The equity markets cheered as benchmark indices broke the four-day losing streak supported by strength in oil & gas, financial, IT and pharma shares. However, weakness in metal shares capped the upside gains. Sensex ended 427.79 points higher at 55,320.28 level while Nifty zoomed 121.85 points to end at 16,478.10 level.

On Thursday morning the markets opened marginally lower, owing to weaker global cues. 

Crude oil price decreased slightly and was trading at USD 120 per dollar, whereas Gold prices also increased by 3 per cent. The Nasdaq was down by 1.32 per cent at market close on Wednesday, whereas the Asian markets also mimicked the weaker sentiments and were trading 0.50 per cent lower 

While markets opened flat, as of noon, BSE Sensex was up by 0.28 per cent.
