(Reuters) - The Nifty <.NSEI> rose to a 15-1/2 month high on Monday, tracking gains in other Asian markets, after solid U.S. jobs data bolstered expectations of an acceleration in U.S. economic growth at a time of ultra-easy global monetary policy conditions.
The broader NSE Nifty rose 0.32 percent to close at 8,711.35, after hitting a high of 8,723.50, its highest since April 16, 2015, earlier in the session.
The benchmark BSE Sensex <.BSESN> ended up 0.37 percent at 28,182.57.
Both the indexes posted their third straight session of gains.
