The shares of oil marketing companies (OMC) surged on October 29, as global oil prices extended decline. This comes as a potential output increase by the OPEC+ increased concerns around over supply.

Oil prices have now extended a three-day fall, with Brent crude futures falling to $64.33 a barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropping to $60.08.

Brent and WTI had registered their biggest weekly gains last week since June after US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia for the first time in his second term, targeting major oil companies Lukoil and Rosneft. However, doubts now persist that the sanctions would be offset by oversupply and talk of an OPEC+ output increase.

OPEC+, the world’s largest grouping of oil-producing nations, is planning for a modest output boost in December, Reuters reported citing people familiar with the matter.  Several members of the organization that pumps about half the world's oil, are likely to agree on Sunday to increase December output targets by another 137,000 bpd, the report added.

The fall in oil prices will likely help the margins of the OMC firms.

The shares of textile and shrimp stocks sharply surged on October 29 after US President Donald Trump hinted at having a trade deal with India soon.

The <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/donald-trump-says-have-great-respect-for-pm-modi-going-to-do-a-trade-deal-with-india-soon-13638938.html">latest comments by the American President</a> boosted investor sentiment as it would likely result in reduction in tariffs levied on Indian exports to the US, benefitting the export-oriented sectors significantly.

What Trump said?

US President Trump on Wednesday said that he holds great respect for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking at the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, he added that he is going to "do a trade deal with India".

Earlier during his speech, Trump spoke about his talks with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the conflict with Pakistan. He described PM Modi as the "nicest looking guy" and "like a father".

Why are shrimp and textile stocks rallying?

The shares of these export-oriented companies had significantly declined earlier after the Trump administration increased tariffs on Indian imports to a whopping 50 percent, citing New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. However, the rising expectations of India-US finalizing on the trade deal boosted the export-oriented shrimp and textile stocks, who derive a significant portion of their revenue from the American market.

Top gainers among shrimp stocks:

Apex Frozen Foods shares jumped more than 4 percent to trade at around Rs 248 apiece. Coastal Corporation shares rose more than 2 percent, while Avanti Feeds shares sharply recovered all losses to trade in the green, after dropping around 2 percent earlier during the day.

Top gainers among textile stocks:

Gokaldas Exports and Pearl Global Industries shares jumped around 4 percent each, while Raymond Lifestyle shares gained more than 2 percent. KPR Mill shares also recovered significant losses after the announcement to trade nearly flat in the red.
