Sensex up 50 points, Nifty above 23400
MUMBAI [Maha Media]: Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty ended marginally higher on Wednesday, snapping their four-day losing streak, as elevated crude oil prices and persistent geopolitical uncertainties restricted the upside. The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 49.74 points, or 0.07 per cent, to settle at 74,608.98. During the day, the index touched a high of 75,191.57 and a low of 74,134.48, gyrating 1,057.09 points.
The 50-share NSE edged higher by 33.05 points or 0.14 per cent to end at 23,412.60. From the Sensex constituents, Asian Paints, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, Bharat Electronics, Bharti Airtel and Larsen & Toubro were among the winners. Mahindra & Mahindra, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Sun Pharma and Tech Mahindra were among the biggest laggards.
India's retail inflation rose slightly to 3.48 per cent in April, mainly due to higher prices of gold and silver jewellery as well as some kitchen items, according to government data released on Tuesday. In Asian markets, South Korea's benchmark Kospi, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225, Shanghai's SSE Composite and Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended in positive territory.
