November 29, 2016 17:32

Benchmark Sensex surrendered much of its early gains today on widespread caution ahead of release of GDP data as it ended at over two-week high of 26,394 on sustained buying amid mixed global cues.

Auto, telecom, consumer durables, energy, industrials and capital goods stocks firmed up on good buying, while IT, FMCG, banking and metal counters slipped on profit-booking.

This was the third straight session of gains for the 30-share index, which rose 43.84 points or 0.17 per cent to close at 26,394.01, its highest closing since November 11, when it had ended at 26,818.82.

Intra-day, it shuttled between 26,587.07 and 26,354.66. The gauge has risen by 533.84 points or 2.06 per cent in three days.

The NSE Nifty, after touching a high of 8,197.35, slipped to 8,128.70 before closing 15.25 points, or 0.19 per cent, higher at 8,142.15.
