The benchmark BSE Sensex advanced almost 64 points to 29,400.14 in early trade on Thursday on sustained buying by domestic institutional investors amid firm Asian cues.
The 30-share index rose 63.57 points or 0.22% to 29,400.14. The gauge had gained 17.43 points in the previous session. Also, the NSE Nifty was up 23 points, or 0.25%, to 9,126.50.
Sectoral indices, led by realty, metal and FMCG, were trading in the positive zone with gains of up to 0.87%. Brokers said that a firm trend at other Asian markets after crude oil prices rebounded from an overnight sell-off amid Japan reporting stronger-than-expected exports in March and easing tensions over North Korea helped lift sentiments.
Shares of private lender Yes Bank, however, plunged 6.50% to Rs 1,501 after the asset quality of the bank slipped in the results declared yesterday. Among other Asian markets, Japan's Nikkei was up 0.31% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 0.33% in morning trade. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.58% down in Wednesday's trade, weighed down by weak earnings.
