Sensex, Nifty climb amid positive global cues
MUMBAI [Maha Media]: Equity market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty climbed in early trade on Thursday driven by buying in IT stocks amid a firm trend in the global peers after US CPI inflation came on expected lines fuelling bets of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week.
The 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex climbed 83.73 points to 81,609.87 in early trade. The NSE Nifty went up 12 points to 24,604.45.
Among the 30-share Sensex blue-chip pack, Tech Mahindra, Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, HCL Technologies and ICICI Bank were the biggest gainers.
