Sensex, Nifty gain
After ending last week on a sour note, market indices Sensex and Nifty returned to green on Monday morning.
At their high in early trade, the Sensex jumped more than 997 points to hit 77,910.75 while the 50-pack Nifty gained 292 points to 24,290.20.
This came after recent developments in West Asia led to Brent crude easing 0.27 per cent lower to trade at $107.9 per barrel.
