Sensex up 252 pts on declining global crude price

Mumbai, Sept 13: Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensitive Index (Sensex) moved past the 11,900 mark once again, witnessing a 400 figure correction few days ago, to currently trade at 11,912.86, a 252 point gain from the previous close.

The upclimb is largely attributed to declining global crude oil prices, which declined to six-month low figure of US dollar 63 per barrel mark, last breached on March 27.

Major gainers on BSE-30 Sensex were Maruti Udyog, HDFC Bank, Dr Reddy's Lab, Bharti Airtel, SBI, NTPC, ICICI Bank, HLL, Satyam Computers and L&T, all up between 3.01 to 4.41 per cent.

Besides, overall losers on the BSE were Nestle, Reliance Natural Resources, JSW Steel and Ultratech Cement, all down between 0.33 to 1.28 per cent.
