Brokers attributed the recovery in share prices to revival of buying by funds on the back of overnight gains on the US market.
The US markets yesterday surged driven by good earnings reports amid expectations of some political changes in the Massachusetts’ Senate race. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 1.07 per cent higher on Tuesday.
Besides, better-than-expected quarterly earnings by some corporates also supported the recovery in the domestic bourses, they added.
