Nifty witnessed significant buying that contributed to the indices' higher closing prices amid overall strong global clues. Rates were raised last week by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
Currently, investors are waiting to see how this week's Bank of England (BoE) meeting and the RBI monetary policy meeting next week turns out. The Sensex gained 367 points, or 0.56%, to settle at 66,527.67, while the Nifty gained 108 points, or 0.55%, to close at 19,753.80.
"Indian indices have resumed their rally, following the global market trend, as cooling inflation across the globe gave hopes of an end to the policy tightening era. The latest positive development was the Eurozone's inflation slowing for the third consecutive month in July, coming in at 5.3%, in line with market predictions.
Moreover, the euro zone economy grew by 0.3% during the June quarter, according to preliminary estimates, slightly surpassing market expectations," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
