But profit-taking at higher levels pulled the index down in late trades and it closed 440 points or 0.6% up. On the NSE, Nifty followed a similar trajectory to hit a new all-time high during the day at 22,127 points but closed below the 22K mark, at 21,854 points — up 156 points or 0.7%.
According to Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking, the day’s session was a kind of a roller coaster ride for participants as the leading indices oscillated sharply on both sides and ended with modest gains. “After the gap-up start, Nifty marched towards its record high but couldn’t hold that level for long and surrendered most of its gains,” Mishra said.
