Sensex Rises Over 200 Points, Nifty Trades Above 17,600

The Indian equity benchmarks on Wednesday rose in opening deals, tracking a positive trend in global markets. Asian shares traded in the green boosted by U.S. inflation figures that fared better than markets' worst expectations.

Back home, the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 238 points or 0.41 per cent to 58,814 in early trade, while the broader NSE Nifty moved 74 points or 0.42 per cent up to 17,604.
