The benchmark Sensex ended at a record high for the fourth session in a row today on persistent demand for bluechips, led by SBI and ICICI Bank.
The 30-share Sensex surpassed the 37,000-mark for the first time in history to touch a high of 37,061.62 (intra-day) after a bout of choppy trade, breaking its previous high of 36,947.18 hit yesterday.
It shed some ground on profit-booking, before finally ending 126.41 points, or 0.34 per cent higher at new peak of 36,984.64, smashing its previous record close of 36,858.23 reached yesterday.
