Led by banks, infra and automobile stocks on hopes that the Reserve Bank of India will further cut interest rates later this month, Sensex opened at 16,100.36 with a gain of 80 points.
The investors took cues from the Asian markets which were up 1-2 per cent. In the afternoon session, the signals from the European markets were also positive with gains upto 3 per cent.
‘Rising hope of policy rate cut by RBI, expected positive outcome from upcoming ECB meet cheered domestic stocks,’ said Sharmila Joshi, Head Equity, Fairwealth Securities.
All the 30 Sensex stocks ended higher with gains led by Tata Motors, L&T, Jindal Steel, Hero MotorCorp and Sterlite Industries.
