Two wheeler sales skid in November
Auto majors Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor reported a year-on-year decline of 41%, 12% and 17%, respectively, in their two-wheeler sales volumes in November. Despite this, share prices of these companies witnessed a mixed reaction.
As per Hero’s management, the delay in harvesting due to the late withdrawal of monsoon in many parts of the country impacted the two-wheeler demand post the festive season. However, it expects a swift revival in sales in the January-March quarter on the back of the marriage season and pick-up in economic activities.

Oil rallies on OPEC meet
Oil prices rose yesterday after the major oil producing nations met to discuss future oil output in the wake of the new virus variant leading to a fresh round of travel restrictions. The concern over the new variant coupled with oversupply had led to a sharp drop in oil prices recently.
Also, according to reports, OPEC+ expects the supply surplus to worsen by the start of 2022. Hence, analysts believe that the group of oil producing nations won’t step up their oil production to maintain the oil prices above the $70 per barrel mark. Meanwhile, US crude (WTI) prices were up over 2% yesterday.
