Sensex hits new record-high of 27,148.90; Nifty at 8,119.80
Continuing its rising streak for the ninth straight session, the
benchmark BSE Sensex rose over 129 points to hit a new high of 27,148.90
in opening trade on Wednesday on sustained foreign capital inflows
coupled with a firming trend on other Asian bourses.
The 30-share index, which had gained over 705 points in the previous
eight sessions, gathered another 129.51 points, or 0.47 per cent, to
trade at a new peak of 27,148.90, surpassing its earlier record of
27,082.85 touched on Tuesday (intra-day).
All the sectoral indices, led by teck, consumer durables, infrastructure
and oil & gas, were trading in positive territory with gains up to
0.93 per cent.
Maintaining its record-breaking spree, the NSE Nifty also shot up by
another 36.75 points, or 0.45 per cent, to hit a fresh life-time high of
8,119.80, crossing its previous record of 8,101.95 hit on Tuesday.
Brokers said sentiments remained buoyant with key indices soaring to new
highs on sustained foreign capital inflows and widespread buying by
retail investors, driven by positive economic data such as
better-than-expected GDP growth in first quarter and narrowing CAD.
Besides, positive global factors with crude oil prices falling to
multi-month lows and a firming trend on other Asian markets boosted
investor sentiments, they said.
Among other Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.82 per cent, while Hong
Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.15 per cent in early trade on Tuesday.
The US Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, closed 0.18 per cent lower in Tuesday’s trade.
