DATE: 17/09/2012
After a stunning 4% rally last week on the back of fuel price hike and global cues, the BSE Sensex added over 250 points in early trade on Monday and hit a 52-week high of 18,715.03 following the FDI approvals in retail, aviation and broadcast carriage services sectors announced post-market hours Friday.

The CNX Midcap Index spiked 83 points to 7,423 as about four shares advanced for every share declining on the National Stock Exchange.
