Closing Bell: Sensex gains 765 points, Nifty at 16931.05

At close, the Sensex was up 765.04 points or 1.36% at 56,889.76, and the Nifty was up 225.80 points or 1.35% at 16,931, hits fresh milestones on Monday as Jerome Powell's speech last Friday, suggesting no interest rate hike in the near future, boosted risky assets. Bharti Airtel, Axis Bank, Tata Steel, Titan Company, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Finance, State Bank of India (SBI), Asian Paints, and RIL, among others, were the top index gainers. On the flip side, Nestle India, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) were Sensex laggards. Barring the Nifty IT index, all the sectoral indices ended in the green. Nifty Bank index surged over 2 percent, the Nifty Metal index advanced 2.5 percent, followed by the Nifty Realty, Pharma, and Bank indices. The BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices ended 1.7 per cent and 1.5 percent higher.
