Uninterrupted foreign fund inflows amid strong corporate earnings and positive global leads drove the benchmark indices to fresh lifetime highs. The 50-issue Nifty breached the historic 11,000 level by gaining 56.80 points, or 0.51 percent, to trade at all-time high of 11,023.00.
It bettered its previous intra-day high of 10,975.10 touched yesterday. The flagship BSE Sensex too surged 159.98 points, or 0.44 percent, to trade at new record high of 35,957.99, breaking its previous record high of 35,827.70 reached in yesterday’s trade.
The gauge rallied 1,026.99 points in the previous four record-setting sessions. Trading sentiment remained extremely bullish backed by sustained capital inflows by foreign funds and widespread buying by retail investors, driven by strong earnings by some more bluechip companies that helped key indices to scale new peaks, brokers said.
