Benchmark Sensex ended in the green at 30,464 in see-saw trade on Friday as FMCG counters buzzed following finalisation of GST rates for bulk of the items. However, global volatility arising out of political developments in the US and emerging markets like Brazil held back the gains, brokers said.
The BSE Sensex resumed higher and hit its all-time high of 30,712.35 (intra-day), the fourth in five sessions, but later eased to a low of 30,338.52 before settling 30.13 points, or 0.10 per cent higher at 30,464.92. The broader 50-share NSE Nifty touched a high of 9,505.75 at the outset, but succumbed to profit-booking and settled 1.55 points, or 0.02 per cent, down at 9,427.90
