 Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty raced to fresh record highs by notching their sixth straight session of gains on Thursday as participants cheered improving macroeconomic data and positive global cues.

Going past the 61,000-mark for the first time ever, the BSE Sensex soared 568.90 points or 0.94 percent to finish at a new closing peak of 61,305.95. The index also marked its fresh intraday record of 61,353.25 during the day’s trade.

Similarly, the NSE Nifty surged 176.80 points or 0.97 per cent to a new lifetime closing high of 18,338.55. Intraday, the gauge touched a new record of 18,350.25 before easing some gains towards the fag-end of the session.
