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.
Strong markets across Asia also bolstered the sentiment here. Asian bourses rose after reports of increase in corporate spending and a big jump in orders for manufactured goods in the United States, world's largest economy.
The broad-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty rose by 17.35 points to settle at 6,035.65.
Tata Steel gained for the fourth and ended Rs 16.15 up at Rs 645.65 on expectations that the demand for the steel might rise.

Sensex slides 28 pts on profit booking, weak global cues
MUMBAI: Extending its losses for the third straight session the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex on Friday slipped by nearly 28 points in the opening trade on profit booking amid weak global cues.
The 30-share index declined by 27.49 points to 19,833.52 level in the first five minutes of trade. The index had lost over 140 points in the previous two sessions.
Similarly, the wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also shed 8.35 points to 5,951.55.
Analysts said that the market sentiment dampened as investors booked profits and preferred shifting their money to the primary market.
Besides, weak cues from Asian markets after overnight losses on the US markets too weighed on the Indian bourses, they added.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was down 0.07%, while Japanese Nikkei index fell by 1.25% in the morning trade. The US Dow Jones Industrial average ended 0.72 per cent down in yesterday's trade.
