Domestic stock markets extended gains to end at three-month highs on Friday. The S&P BSE Sensex index jumped as much as 309 points to touch 39,361.06 at the day's high and the broader NSE Nifty benchmark climbed 98.35 points to 11,684.70 during the session - levels last seen on September 23. Gains across most sectors - led by banking, automobile, metal and information technology shares - pushed the markets higher. Both benchmark indices turned firmly positive soon after a mixed start and strengthened further as buying interest picked up in the sectors in the second half. Analysts awaited more large cap companies to report their financial results for the second quarter of the current financial year for cues. Oil-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries will announce its earnings in the evening.
