Sensex vaults 90 points

MUMBAI JULY 24. A late heavy bout of all round buying helped the Sensex to zoom 90.18 points to close at 3668.07 on the Bombay Stock Exchange today.

Foreign institutional investors, who had slowed down their activity for the past couple of weeks, reportedly turned aggressive buyers in select old economy blue chips.

The top heavyweights RIL and HLL were particularly in keen demand and finished with sharp gains.

The spurt in the Sensex could be gauged by a rise in 25 out of 30 index-based shares.

The BSE-30 share sensitive index opened sharply higher at 3595.60, but soon touched a low of 3572.64. Later, it bounced back to a high of 3678.38 before ending at 3668.07 against yesterday's close of 3577.89, a steep rise of 2.52 per cent. The broad-based BSE-100 also increased by 38.08 points to 1832.93.

In the specified group, 149 scrips registered sharp to moderate gains while 46 others finished with losses. — PTI
