MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian stocks gained nearly one percent on Monday to post their highest close in nearly four weeks, led by renewed buying in financial and pharma stocks although volumes were thin in the year-end holiday season and ahead of F&O expiry on Thursday.
The Nifty rose 0.82 percent to close at 7,925.15, its highest close since Dec. 2.
The Sensex gained 0.76 percent to end at 26,034.13, also its highest close since Dec. 2.
