SENSEX AND NIFTY RISE on value buying, ED RAIDS IN JHARKHAND AND WEST BENGAL, Juhi Chawla's Birthday Throwback

Mumbai: In early trade on Tuesday, the Sensex and Nifty indices surged to record gains, driven by value buying at lower levels and positive sentiment.

The gains were largely attributed to domestic institutional investors' consistent investments, despite foreign institutional investor selling pressure.

The markets continued under market pressure from FII selling trends but DIIs sustained support. Asian equity markets were on a downtrend, while the Wall Street closed higher thanks to positive sentiment.
