Sensex gains 74 points

MUMBAI: With eyes set on 15000-mark, bulls on Wednesday continued their record-run on the bourses for third day in a row with the benchmark Sensex settling at a new peak of 14880.24 on strong buying in auto, cement and metal stocks.

The Bombay Stock Exchange’s 30-share index closed with a gain of 73.73 points after crossing the 14900-mark for the first time ever to reach an intra-day peak of 14906.93 earlier in the day.

Besides, expectations for good first quarter results, positive global cues and falling inflation levels are also adding to the positive sentiments, brokers said. — PTI
