The Indian stock market ended higher on Wednesday (September 10), buoyed by expectations that an India-US trade deal could be finalised soon after US President Donald Trump’s update about the ongoing negotiations.
Positive global cues and buying in banking and IT heavyweights also kept the market up.
The Sensex closed 324 points, or 0.40 per cent, higher at 81,425.15, while the Nifty 50 ended the day at 24,973.10, up 105 points, or 0.42 per cent. The midcap and smallcap segments outperformed. The BSE Midcap index rose by 0.84 per cent, and the Smallcap index climbed 0.72 per cent.
Investors’ wealth rose by over ₹2 lakh crore as the overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rose to over ₹456 lakh crore from ₹453.8 lakh crore in the previous session.
