Sensex posts biggest yearly gains since 1991

The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange index provisionally ended up 134.10 points at 17,477.92.

The main index has surged on strong foreign fund inflows.

"It is very good sign that sensex has doubled. It has minimise all loses. Market is likely to reach 18,500 as the inflow of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) takes place. Market is very strong," said Deven Shah, share expert and senior dealer in Mumbai.

The 50-share NSE index provisionally closed up 0.76 percent at 5,208.75 points. (ANI)
