[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Crude oil prices are something which impacts the whole of the Indian economy. Right from the fiscal deficit of the government, to the profit of companies where crude is direct raw material or its derivatives part of the raw material chain, to even the individuals. Lower oil prices means stable petrol and diesel prices at pump level which means more money to spend.

Now why look at these stocks ahead of the festive season. Look at what happened to stocks of white good markets like Voltas.
