Closing Bell: Sensex, Nifty End Near Day’s High
Indian equity benchmark S&P BSE Sensex resumed rally after a one-day blip, following the rally in its Asian peers amid renewed optimism over trade talks after U.S. President Donald Trump extended the deadline to raise tariffs on Chinese goods beyond March 1.
The 31-share index ended 351.90 points higher at 36,213.38 after gaining 370 points intraday. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also ended near day’s high to close at 10,880.10.
The market breadth was tilted in favour of buyers. About 1064 stocks advanced and 675 shares declined on National Stock Exchange.
Eight out of 11 sectoral gauges compiled by NSE advanced, led by the NSE Nifty Private Bank Index’s 1.1 percent gain. On the flipside, the NSE Nifty realty Index was the top sectoral loser, down 0.7 percent.
