Closing Bell

Indian equities rose for fourth straight session led by gains in energy, FMCG, auto and pharma shares.

The S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.87 percent to 32,158.66 and the NSE Nifty 50 Index advanced 0.87 percent to 10,093.05. Gains in today's session were broad-based as the S&P BSE MidCap Index and S&P BSE SmallCap indices rose 1 percent each.

All the 19 sector gauges compiled by BSE Ltd ended higher led by the S&P BSE Realty Index's 2.1 percent gain.

Nifty faces resistance around 10,100 levels, says Dhaval P Vyas, founder and chief market analyst at www.dhavalpvyas.com.

"If Nifty closes above 10,100 consistently for two sessions then chances of it going up to 10,450-10,500 are quite high," Vyas adds.
