Bulls kept the momentum going on Dalal Street for third consecutive session on Tuesday as the Sensex gained nearly 300 points and all sectoral indices ended in the green despite mixed global cues. Stable rupee and crude oil prices, and healthy start to September quarter earnings season aided the rally.

Banks & financial, auto, energy, and select FMCG and technology stocks were prominent gainers, which all pushed the frontline indices to near two-week high.

The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 297.38 points to 35,162.48 and the 50-share NSE Nifty rallied 72.30 points to 10,584.80, the highest level since October 4, 2018.
