Global markets touched their best level in more than five months while the U.S. dollar held near an eight-month low

data kept the bulls largely in charge ahead of next week’s slate of top central bank meetings.

Seven listed companies of the Adani conglomerate - controlled by one of the world’s richest men Gautam Adani - have lost a combined $45 billion in market capitalization since Wednesday, casting serious doubt on the company’s record $2.45 billion share sale plan.“There were heavy positions in Adani group , the way they have risen in the last couple of years,” said Neeraj Dewan, director at Quantum Securities in New Delhi.
