Domestic stock markets registered sharp gains on Monday, as buying interest in financial, auto and infrastructure sectors helped the markets recover early losses. The S&P BSE Sensex index declined as much as 197.3 points from the previous close to touch 36,784.47 in the first hour of trade, and then rebounded as much as 459.61 points from that level to hit 37,244.08 at the day's highest level. The broader National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty benchmark hit an intraday high of 11,028.85 during the session, bouncing from a day's low of 10,889.80. Buying in financial, automobile and infrastructure sectors backed the upmove in the markets, however weakness in information technology stocks - as the rupee moved higher - kept the upside in check. Mid- and small-cap shares outperformed the markets, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices ending 1.23 per cent and 0.65 per cent higher, after rising as much as 1.29 per cent and 0.80 per cent respectively during the session.
