The S&P BSE benchmark Sensex trimmed

early gains but was still up by 126 points in late morning

durables, Capital goods, Energy and Industrials sectors amid

positive Asian cues.

The BSE Mid-Cap index was up 0.87 per cent and the BSE

Small-Cap index was also up 0.97 percent. Both these indices

outperformed the Sensex. The market breadth, indicating the

overall health of the market, was strong.

The Sensex opened higher at 29,201.01 and rose further

to 29,315.18. It was quoting at 29,293.89 at 1100hrs, showing

a rise of 126.21 points, or 0.43 per cent.

released by the stock exchanges.

Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold shares worth

a net Rs 779.91 crore, as per provisional data.

Globally, Asian stocks were trading higher as investors

were on the edge ahead of a vote on US health care later today

that could be a barometer for future Trump administration's

policies.

The US stock market bounced back from the previous day

sell-off to close marginally higher yesterday as gains in tech

stocks helped lift indices.
