Sensex ends 1,000 points up, Nifty closes above 16,900

Benchmark indices ended higher for the second consecutive day on Thursday with Sensex ending 1,000 points up and Nifty ending above 16,900 on back of positive cues from the global market after US Fed policy outcome, good earnings in large-cap space, partly short-covering and partly investment buying in some segments.

At the close, Sensex was up 1,041.47 points, or 1.87 per cent, at 56,857.79, and the Nifty 50 was up 287.80 points or 1.73 per cent at 16,929.60.
