On Monday, the major indices of the Indian stock markets soared on the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) win in the Gujarat elections, after crashing by more than 200 points in the initial few minutes. On the NSE, there were 906 advances, 773 declines and 325 unchanged. Sectorally, pharma, public sector banks, auto, telecom and metals indices gained the most, while Realty slipped marginally into the red. Market volumes were high as is expected on such days. A break of 10,384-10,430 band could take the Nifty sharply in the upward direction, observed market analysts. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Embattled Indian miner Adani Group parted ways with mining services giant Downer and said it would build and run the Carmichael coal mine, Australia's biggest coal venture in central Queensland's Galilee Basin, on its own, a media report said.

On the NSE, there were 1,284 advances, 417 declines and 288 unchanged.

The US Congress finally passed the Republican bill to overhaul the US tax code over three decades, sending it to President Donald Trump's desk for signature, amid concerns that the change would widen income inequality and swell public debt. "By cutting taxes and reforming the broken system, we are now pouring rocket fuel into the engine of our economy," Trump said. Some companies said that they would spend the savings from lower corporate taxes on higher wages and new construction.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
