The Nifty crossed a new milestone to close at a record 10,153 on Monday and the Sensex surged 151 points to 6-week high, driven by stronger rupee and revival of buying interest of foreign investors amid abundant liquidity. Domestic institutional investors continued to back the rally, along with positive leads from global markets. Asian markets logged healthy gains and European shares jumped to a higher opening, tracking Wall Street hitting fresh highs on Friday ahead of this week's US interest rate call and cooling North Korea tensions, traders said.
