Nifty hits an all-time high on Monday with financial and auto stocks such as Bank of Baroda Ltd and Bajaj Auto Ltd among the top gainers.

The broader index rose as much as 0.81 per cent to 10,167.15, surpassing its previous record high of 10,137.85 hit on August 2.

The Sensex was up as much as 0.73 percent at 32,508.06. 

The Sensex has so far touched a high of 32,465.01 points and a low of 32,361.25 points during intra-day trade.

The BSE market breadth was bullish—with 1,087 advances and 210 declines.

Last Friday, the benchmark indices closed on a flat note as weak global cues on the back of recurring geo-political tensions, coupled with profit booking, subdued investors' sentiments.

The Sensex closed with marginal gains at 32,272.61 points—up 30.68 points, or 0.10 per cent, while the Nifty50 inched down 1.20 points, or 0.01 per cent, to close at 10,085.40 points.
