The Sensex skyrocketed over 450 points following a long weekend, riding positive trades in regional peers and a strengthened rupee against the dollar. The rupee gained for the third consecutive session on dovish comments from the US Fed and ahead of an RBI bond buyback program. The RBI governor also highlighted that several factors beyond inflation will be considered for the next monetary policy decision. Sectoral gains were led by capital goods, which surged over 3%.
