MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex ended marginally higher on Friday, marking their highest close in nearly three months for a second day, even as investors sold financial stocks seeking more clarity on the government's decision to make foreign holdings fungible.

The BSE Sensex ended up 0.06 percent, while the Nifty closed 0.02 percent higher, marking their highest close since April 16.

For the week, the Sensex gained 2.9 percent and the Nifty rose 2.98 percent.
