Benchmark SENSEX and NIFTY recovered the early losses to settle with gains for the second day in a row on Tuesday, October 29.

After a volatile session, NIFTY50 closed higher by 127.7 points, or 0.52%, at 24,466. As many as 31 NIFTY shares closed higher, while 18 declined and one remained unchanged.

The index started on a weak note and slipped below the 24,150 level in early morning deals after selling in pharma and auto shares. However, a recovery in banking and consumer stocks helped pare losses and end the day higher.

The 30-share SENSEX also rose by 363.99 points, or 0.45%, to settle at 80,369. As many as 16 SENSEX constituents gained and 14 declined.

Domestic investors' buying after a recent fall and a slump in crude oil prices supported the rally in Indian stocks.

Among sectoral indices, NIFTY Bank, Realty and Financial Services gained the most while Pharma and Auto declined.
