The benchmark BSE Sensex surged about 154 points and the NSE Nifty reclaimed the 9,800- level in early trade today, enthused by higher capital inflows by domestic investors.
The strong start came in the face of sharp jump in inflation numbers, which were released on Monday.
The 30-share barometer, which had gained 235.44 points in the previous session on Monday, was trading higher by 153.61 points, or 0.48 per cent, at 31,602.64, with FMCG, auto, power, consumer durables, IT, metal and realty stocks leading the gains. Markets remained closed yesterday on account of Independence Day.
On similar lines, the NSE Nifty was up by 36.60 points, or 0.37 per cent, at 9,830.75 points.
