Benchmark domestic equity indices, Sensex and Nifty, ended with minor gains today, extending their rising streak to a fourth consecutive session.
However, the markets pared intra-day gains as profit-booking in select sectors during the last hour of trade pulled indices down from the day’s highest point.
The Sensex added 137 points, or 0.17 per cent, to close at 81 thousand 927, while Nifty added 31 points, or 0.12 per cent, to settle at 25 thousand 108.
The broader market indices at the Bombay Stock Exchange closed mixed. The Mid-Cap index increased by over 0.4 per cent while the Small-Cap index dipped by over 0.1 per cent.
Among sectoral indices:
Bank Nifty rose 0.5%, led by gains in HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank, amid optimism over credit growth.
Auto stocks saw steady buying, with Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra among top performers, supported by robust monthly sales data.
Metal shares gained around 0.6%, tracking firm global commodity prices. IT stocks slipped nearly 0.3%, pressured by weakness in mid-tier tech names and concerns over US demand.
Pharma and Healthcare declined around 0.4%, following mixed Q2 results from key firms.
Energy and Oil & Gas shares traded weak as crude oil prices rose marginally in global markets.
