Nifty breaches the 9,400-mark for the first time ever
Benchmark index NSE Nifty on Wednesday rose as much as 0.99% to a record high of 9,414.75, breaching the 9,400-mark for the first time ever. Further, BSE Sensex also gained over 1% to 30,271.60, its highest ever. This came as shares of consumer goods and agriculture-dependent companies rallied after the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast a higher monsoon rainfall.
