4 Stocks That Touched 52-Week High To Aid Sensex’s Rally

It has been an eventful day on BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) with its benchmark index Sensex touching an all-time high at 40,328 in the morning session. The 31-share index, that had hit its previous all-time high on 4 June 2019 at 40,312, has seen high volatility in the 100 days between then and now.

On Thursday, the company shares that majorly contributed to Sensex's new all-time high by touching record highs themselves were:

1. Reliance Industries Limited

This heavy-weight stock has been rallying since the start of the week, touching new record highs.

On Thursday, shares of RIL touched a new 52-week high of Rs 1,489.50 on BSE. Its previous 52-week high was Rs 1,484, observed just a day ago, on Wednesday.

2. Asian Paints

Asian Paints' share price touched a new 52-week high of Rs 1,833.65 on Thursday.
