Markets surge to record high; Sensex soars 294 points, Nifty above 12,300-mark on positive global cues; Infosys rallies 4%

Mumbai: Equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty hit their record intra-day highs in early trade on Monday tracking gains in index-heavyweight Infosys amid positive domestic and global cues.

After rallying 293.69 points to a record peak of 41,893.41, the 30-share BSE index was trading 248.57 points or 0.60 percent higher at 41,848.29. Similarly, the broader NSE Nifty scaled a high of 12,337.75, before trading 70.35 points or 0.57 percent higher at 12,327.15.

Reuters.[/caption] Infosys was the top gainer, rising over 4 percent after the IT services major Infosys on Friday reported a 23.7 percent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 4,466 crore for the December quarter. Sun Pharma, ITC, HCL Tech, Tata Steel, ICICI Bank and Kotak Bank were also trading on a positive note. On the other hand, TCS, Maruti and HDFC were in red. In the previous session, Sensex ended 147.37 points, or 0.36 percent, higher at 41,599.72 and the Nifty settled 40.90 points, or 0.33 percent, higher at 12,256.80. Meanwhile, on a net basis, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 578.28 crore, while domestic institutional investors purchased shares worth Rs 251.74 crore on Friday, data available with stock exchanges showed. According to traders, besides positive quarterly number from Infosys, positive domestic macro data, firm global cues and foreign fund inflow too boosted market mood here. Having contracted for three months in a row, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a growth of 1.8 percent in November mainly on account of improvement in the manufacturing sector, said government data on Friday. Investors are also awaiting inflation numbers to be released later in the day. On the global front, with US-Iran tensions cooling off, market focus has shifted to the upcoming US-China trade deal signing, traders said. Bourses in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul were trading on a positive note in their early sessions. Brent crude futures slipped 0.09 percent to $64.92 per barrel. Meanwhile, the rupee appreciated 8 paise to 70.85 against the US dollar in morning session.
