equity market benchmarks Sensex and Nifty settled higher on Thursday, September 14, amid broadly positive global cues ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision. Market sentiment remained strong on healthy domestic macro numbers as government data showed wholesale price inflation remained in the negative territory for the fifth straight month in August at -0.52 per cent.

Sensex hit its fresh record high of 67,771.05 during the session and Nifty, too, scaled its fresh peak of 20,167.65 today helped by fag-end buying in oil & gas, metal and commodity stocks amid a largely firm trend in global equities. Sensex closed 52 points, or 0.08 per cent, higher at 67,519 while the Nifty ended at 20,103.10, up 33 points, or 0.16 per cent.
