Mumbai: The benchmark Sensex extended yesterday's gains by rising over 200
points in early trade today, tracking firm global cues on reports of
trade negotiations between the US and China, easing fears of a trade
war.
Investor sentiment was buoyed after the government
announced borrowing of Rs 2.88 lakh crore in the April-September period
of 2018-19, lower than Rs 3.72 lakh crore it had borrowed in the first
half of the current fiscal, and introduce bonds linked to CPI or retail
inflation.
