September 8, 2009
Mumbai: Key indices of the Indian equities markets, buoyed by renewed buying interest and stable markets elsewhere in Asia, closed at their highest levels in 15 months Monday.
The 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 15,739.27 points, closed at 16,016.32 points, up 327.2 points or 2.09 percent higher than Friday's close.
The Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), too, hit a 15-month high to end at 4,782.9 points, up 2.19 percent.
Both the Sensex and the Nifty closed above their June 2008 levels.
Broader market indices also fared well, with the BSE midcap index ending 2.31 percent higher and the BSE smallcap index up 2.83 percent.
The market breadth was positive, with 2,243 stocks advancing, 589 declining and 53 remaining unchanged.
