Domestic equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, rebounded on Monday, following a decline in crude oil prices and easing concerns over further Federal Reserve tightening at its October meeting. The 30-share BSE Sensex traded over 400 points higher, while the 50-share NSE Nifty rose above 22,500 level. Softer crude oil prices and upbeat cues from Asian markets supported the rally in domestic equities.
Broader markets also traded higher, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 and the Nifty Midcap 100 indices gaining over half a percent each.
Among sectors, Nifty FMCG, Nifty PSU Bank, Nifty Metals, Nifty Realty and Nifty Media led the gains, while Nifty Pharma and Nifty IT reeled under selling pressure.
On Thursday, the domestic equity indices slipped over half a percent, extending the decline for the eighth consecutive week, its longest weekly losing streak since 2001.
