Sensex, Nifty surge to another record high; US GDP propels global markets

|

The Sensex and the Nifty closed the day at another record high propelled largely by global markets that rallied following higher than expected US GDP numbers.

 

The Sensex closed the day higher by 513 points to a record closing high of 27,865 points, while the Nifty rallied a huge 153 points on trade on relentless buying by FIIs in frontline stocks. Leading the set of gainers from the Nifty was Gail which surged a huge four per cent after a better than expected set of numbers, while other notable winners were IDFC, HDFC, Maruti Suzuki and Tata Steel.
