Sensex, Nifty Rise in Early Trade

Mumbai: Domestic equities jumped in early trade on Tuesday, with the benchmark Sensex surging more than 300 points, mainly due to positive trends in the Asian market.

A day after witnessing a sharp slump, both Sensex and Nifty gained significantly despite concerns over the Israel-Hamas conflict that has also pushed crude oil prices higher.

The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 303.92 points or 0.46 per cent to 65,816.31 points while the broader NSE Nifty rose 87.15 points or 0.45 per cent to 19,599.50 points.
