Brent crude prices have fallen 20% in the last five months. Reduction in  crude oil prices is perceived by investors as good news for Oil Marketing Company (OMC) stocks. Oil is refined into petrol and diesel and sold by these OMCs. Fall in its prices tend to increase their margins. This positively impacts their overall profitability  and this makes investors bullish on these stocks.
