Domestic stock markets ended higher on Wednesday to break a two-day losing streak. After starting the session with a gain of 140.29 points at 36,621.38, the S&P BSE Sensex index rose as much as 231.9 points to touch 36,712.99 at the day's strong level. The broader NSE Nifty benchmark rose to as much as 10,885.15, up 67.55 points from the previous close. Both benchmark indices gave up most of those gains by the end of the session, as gains in metal, energy and state-run banking shares were offset by automobile, pharmaceutical and telecom stocks. Mid- and small-cap sectors outperformed the markets, with the S&P BSE indices finishing 0.39 per cent and 0.30 per cent higher respectively.
