Mumbai, Sept 27 (PTI) The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex today gained over 72 points to close at a new 32-month high on sustained buying by funds, particularly in metal stocks.
Powered by foreign fund inflows, the index closed 72.20 points higher at 20,117.38, a level last seen in January 2008.
The stocks in metal sector led the rally following a firm trend in the London Metal Exchange where base-metal prices spurted.
