BENGALURU, March 8 (Reuters) - Indian shares climbed on Monday after two consecutive sessions of falls, boosted by energy stocks, while top gold financing company Muthoot Finance dropped after the death of its chairman.

By 0525 GMT, the blue chip NSE Nifty 50 index was up 0.45% at 15,005.20, while the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex was up 0.44% at 50,625.21. Both indexes had gained as much as 1.2% earlier in the session.

"We had corrected quite a bit last week, so today is a bit of a bounce-back from that," said Samrat Dasgupta, chief executive of Esquire Capital Investment Advisors in Mumbai.

Both Nifty and Sensex shed more than 2% in their last two sessions of falls as rising bond yields globally spooked investors.

"Any dip will be an opportunity to buy," Dasgupta said, adding that he did not see much correction going forward as liquidity should remain abundant for the next few months.

Market sentiment was also upbeat as investors globally cheered the U.S. Senate's passage of a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill.

However, world shares were mixed as initial optimism over the stimulus bill gave way to inflation fears.
