BSE Sensex closes at over one-month high

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex and the Nifty rose for a fourth straight session on Wednesday to close at their highest in more than a month as blue chips such as ITC rose on heavy buying by foreign investors despite expectations of volatility due to derivatives expiry.

Index heavyweight ITC provisionally rose 2 percent, while Sun Pharmaceutical Industries gained 1.9 percent.

The Sensex provisionally closed higher 0.52 percent and the Nifty ended up 0.64 percent, their highest close since January 24.
