Sensex and Nifty end higher, extending Four-Day winning streak

Benchmark domestic equity indices, Sensex and Nifty, ended with minor gains today, extending their rising streak to a fourth consecutive session.
 
 
However, the markets pared intra-day gains as profit-booking in select sectors during the last hour of trade pulled indices down from the day’s highest point.
 
 
The Sensex added 137 points, or 0.17 per cent, to close at 81 thousand 927, while Nifty added 31 points, or 0.12 per cent, to settle at 25 thousand 108. 
 
 
The broader market indices at the Bombay Stock Exchange closed mixed. The Mid-Cap index increased by over 0.4 per cent while the Small-Cap index dipped by over 0.1 per cent.
