What happened

Trent (TRENT) stock rose 12.6% to ₹2,906 on Tuesday after the Tata retail group reported 23% Q2 revenue growth, having hit its 10% upper circuit at the open. (An upper circuit is the daily cap on how far a share can rise.) Sales for the July–September quarter were ₹5,788 crore, up from ₹4,724 crore a year earlier, and its Zudio fashion chain opened its 1,000th store. Indian markets opened higher as oil prices eased, with Brent crude near $100 a barrel after shipping through the Strait of Hormuz improved.

Why it matters

Trent's jump shows investors are still rewarding retailers whose sales grow quickly, even with oil near $100 a barrel and an interest rate decision due. Faster sales at Zudio and Westside suggest Indian shoppers are still spending on clothing and household items. Cheaper oil also helps because it lowers costs for businesses and households across India.
