In a volatile trade, the BSE benchmark Sensex today snapped 3-day losing streak, gaining over 266 points as funds and retail investors entered a fresh round of buying, buoyed by the 10.8 per cent industrial growth in October.
The Bombay Stock Exchange sensitive index, after losing nearly 740 points in last three trading sessions, recovered partially to close the session at 19,508.89 points, a significant rise of 266.53 points, or 1.39 per cent over the previous close.
All the sectoral indices, led by consumer durables and banking, ended in the positive territory with gains of up to 3.20 per cent.
The barometer of the market moved between 19,074.57 and 19,492.37 during the day as investors returned to buy recently battered stocks like consumer durables, oil and gas, banking, metal and stocks.
The broad-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also recovered 90.85 points, or 1.58 per cent, to 5,857.35 after shuttling between 5,721.15 and 5,865.50.
Trading sentiment, which remained extremely weak in the past three sessions on a series of negative factors, changed for the better after industrial output in October rose by 10.8 per cent, triggering widespread buying.
Later, higher opening on the European bourses also influenced the trading sentiments on the BSE, brokers said.
"Market participants accumulated frontline stocks, which became attractive after recent slide", said Manoj Choraria, a Delhi-based broker.
The Consumer Durables index gained the most, rising 3.60 per cent to 5,970.47 as stocks of Videocon Industries and Titan Industries recovered by 6.63 per cent and 2.85 per cent.
The Banking index was the second best performer among sectoral indices, gaining 2.94 per cent at 13,017.08. It was followed by oil and gas index, which rose by 2.23 per cent to
10,397.68, as Reliance Industries rose 4 per cent and ONGC by 0.03 per cent.
The BSE Metal index, up 1.43 per cent at 15,966.22 as Sterlite Ind, the biggest copper producer, recovered 1.73 per cent while Tata Steel moved up by 2.28 per cent.
