Benchmark Sensex and Nifty closed higher for a third session in a row on Wednesday as fag-end buying in banking, financial and oil stocks helped the indices rebound from early lows amid a bearish trend in global equity markets. Covering-up of short positions by bears supported a late recovery in stocks and helped wipe off losses, traders said.

Fag-end buying in select index heavyweights helped the index to pare all the losses and settle in the green. During the session, the index touched a high of 60,402.85. The broader NSE Nifty settled higher by 42.95 points or 0.24 per cent at 17,754.40. Nifty
