Indian stocks indices on July 14 opened with minor gains primarily due to value buying after recent losses. A decline in global crude oil prices also supported the indices. A less than expected decline in indices in the US after the country reported steeper consumer inflation in the month of June also buoyed stocks back in India, said, analysts. At 9.39 a.m., Sensex was at 53,747.73 points, up 233.58 points or 0.44 per cent, whereas Nifty was at 16,036 per cent or 69.35 points or 0.43 per cent. Among the Nifty 50 companies, 43 were in the green in early trade.
