Sensex has risen for the sixth straight session today with the index logging gains of 5754 points during the period. Market cap of BSE-listed firms hit its record high on Thursday led by a fall in crude oil prices, strong FII inflows and strong gains in global markets post US midterm election outcome.
Market cap of BSE-listed firms rose to Rs 501.14 lakh crore in the current session against the previous session's market cap of Rs 493.44 lakh crore. Investor wealth rose by Rs 7.7 lakh crore in the current session as Sensex rallied 1561 pts to 78,862 and Nifty rose 457 pts to 24,419.
