In the last five trading sessions, the Indian benchmark index Sensex has witnessed over 3 percent gains amid high volatility. During the same period, crude prices hit historic lows with WTI crude oil ending at a negative USD 37.63 a barrel on April 20. However, the next day it bounced back.

Due to coronavirus pandemic, we are witnessing an overall weak scenario in all the markets. Despite the uncertainty, there were 195 stocks that were trading consistently higher in the last five days.
