Sensex gains for a fourth consecutive session

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex and Nifty rose on Monday to mark their fourth consecutive session of gains, as lenders advanced on hopes of stable asset quality after ICICI Bank Ltd's positive outlook and a decrease in bad loans at some of the state-run banks.

The Sensex ended up 0.26 percent, while the Nifty rose 0.12 percent.
