Equity benchmarks snapped a two week's decline and closed sharply higher by more than five per cent during the previous week owing to the positive global cues and decline in the crude oil prices.

Among the Nifty constituents, banking, IT, auto, cement, capital goods, oil and gases, FMCG and metal stocks were the major gainers in the index.

Broader markets also witnessed sharp a rebound during the previous week as the Nifty Mid cap and small cap indices closed higher by 7.1 per cent and 8.6 per cent respectively.
