Sensex, Nifty hit new peak

Mumbai, January 23

The BSE Sensex today set a new high of 29,408 points and NSE Nifty breached the 8,800-level for the first time as robust capital inflows continued amid sustained optimism over upcoming Budget.

It, however, pared some gains on profit booking before settling the day at all-time closing high of 29,278.84, up 272.82, or 0.94%, from its previous close. The Nifty rose by 74.20 points to end at all-time high of 8,835.60 points. — PTI
