A benchmark index of Indian equities markets Thursday surged 382 points or 1.98 percent in sync with world markets that gained after US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said an accommodative monetary policy was needed for the US economy in near future.

The Sensex touched a high of 19,723.51 points and a low of 19,468.46 points intra-day.

The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) ended 2.04 percent or 118.40 points up at 5,935.10 points.

The S&P BSE bankex surged 321.58 points, metal index jumped by 224.94 points, capital goods index increased by 168.63 points, oil and gas index moved up by 154.55 points and PSU index by 103.99 points; however, consumer durables slipped by 40.72 points.
