Key Indian equity indices on Wednesday provisionally closed in the
positive territory as higher auto stocks buoyed investors' sentiments.
However, profit booking in metals and healthcare sectors capped gains.
According
to market observers, index heavyweights on the BSE like State Bank of
India, Adani Ports, HDFC, Mahindra and Mahindra, and Asian Paints drove
the upward rally of the indices.
The wider Nifty50 of the
National Stock Exchange (NSE) rose by 15.40 points or 0.15 per cent to
provisionally close (at 3.30 p.m.) at 10,342.30 points.
The
barometer 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at
33,569.07 points, closed at 33,561.55 points -- up 83.20 points or 0.25
per cent -- from Tuesday's close.
The Sensex touched a high of 33,654.53 points and a low of 33,465.23 points during the intra-day trade.
In contrast, the BSE market breadth was slightly bearish -- 1,388 declines and 1,310 advances.
On
Tuesday, the benchmark indices closed on a higher note due to strong
buying in stocks of healthcare majors like Dr. Reddy's Lab, Sun Pharma,
Cipla and Lupin, as well as a strong rupee.
The NSE Nifty50 rose
by 28.15 points or 0.27 per cent to close at 10,326.90 points, while the
BSE Sensex closed at 33,478.35 points -- up 118.45 points or 0.36 per
cent.
