Domestic stock markets rose on Wednesday as trading continued after a holiday, amid gains in Asian peers. The S&P BSE Sensex index rose as much as 198.01 points - or 0.5 per cent - during the session to register an intraday high of 37,343.46, and the broader NSE Nifty benchmark rose as high as 11,054.80, up 51.75 points from the previous close. Sharp gains in automobile shares pushed the markets higher, however selling in information technology counters limited the upside. Yes Bank and Tata Motors were the top percentage gainers on both the benchmark indices during the session. Analysts awaited macroeconomic data due on Thursday for more clarity on interest rates going forward.
