Sensex, Nifty close on positive note led by metals and banks
New Delhi, Dec 12 (ANI): Equity benchmark indices mirrored global sentiment and extended gains after making a positive start on Thursday. The Union Cabinet's nod to Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code amendment and the government's approval to a partial credit guarantee scheme for government-owned banks to purchase high-rated pooled assets from financially sound non-banking finance companies boosted the investor sentiment. The BSE SandP Sensex surged ahead by 169 points at 40,582 while the Nifty 50 ticked up by 62 points at 11,972.
