All markets including Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange (NSE), Forex, Money, Bullion and Oil&Seeds will remain close tomorrow, February 17, on account of Mahashivratri.
Earlier in today’s volatile session, the benchmark Sensex today surged 230 points in early trade but pared most gains to end with a slender 41 points rise on selling in banking, pharma and oil&gas shares and caution ahead of crucial Greek debt talks. Nevertheless, domestic markets extended their winning session to fifth day and the Sensex closed at two-week highs.
The NSE Nifty moved up by 3.85 points to finish at 8,809.35. The BSE Sensex resumed higher at 29,170.77 and firmed up further to 29,325.35 before ending at 29,135.88, showing a gain of 40.95 points or 0.14 per cent. The index has gained 908.49 points or 3.22 per cent in five days.
