Sensex climbs over 200 points
MUMBAI [Maha Media]: Benchmark indices Sensex and ticked higher for the second straight session on Wednesday, buoyed by buying in bellwether stock Reliance Industries, Zomato and Kotak Bank amid a largely firm trend in global markets.
However, elevated crude oil prices in the international markets and buying by foreign investors weighed on market sentiment, traders said.
The 30-share BSE index climbed 224.45 points or 0.29 per cent to close at 76,724.08. During the day, it jumped 491.42 points or 0.64 per cent to 76,991.05.
