A benchmark index of the Indian equities markets ended 91 points up Tuesday bringing an end to a rather dull day of trading.
The 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) — which opened at 16,633.81 points — shut shop at 16,692.77 points (provisional), up 91.57 points or 0.55 percent from its previous close at 16,601.2 points.
At the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the broader 50-stock S&P CNX Nifty, too, closed in the green at 4,990.9 points, against the previous close at 4,952.6 points, a gain of 0.77 percent.
Broader market indices also moved up with the BSE midcap index up 0.87 percent and the BSE small cap index ending 1.06 percent higher.
The market breadth was tilted towards the positive, with 1,691 stocks advancing, 1,116 scrips declining and 78 remaining unchanged
