At Close, Sensex ended at 57,960, up 346 points or 0.6 per cent and Nifty closed at 17,081, up 129 points or 0.76 percent. However, fag-end buying helped frontline indices settle near the day's high level amid robust buying in metal, auto, and financial (especially PSU banks) stocks. Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, JSW Steel, Eicher Motors, HCL Tech, Bajaj Auto, Ultratech Cement, Tata Motors, and Hero MotorCorp were the large-cap winners, surging up to 9 percent. Losses in Airtel, Reliance Industries, Asian Paints, ICICI Bank, and Cipal, however, weighed. Broader markets outperform large-caps; Mid, and SmallCap indices rise 1.7% each.
