    NEW DELHI: Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty logged healthy gains on Thursday, mirroring the trend in most emerging markets, as signals of near-future rate cuts by the US Fed fuelled risk appetite among investors.

    Auto, bank, NBFC and metal stocks led the gains while the rupee’s rise against the dollar underpinned Nifty’s ascent.

    “A dovish Fed and some short-covering in the recently beaten-down stocks pulled the market higher,” said Rusmik Oza, Head of Fundamental Research, Kotak Securities.

    The 30-share Sensex ended 266 points, or 0.69 per cent, higher at 38,823, with 23 stocks ending in the green. Nifty closed 84 points, or 0.73 per cent, higher at 11,582. Among the 50 Nifty stocks, 40 settled with gains.

    Market breadth improved as 1,243 stocks advanced against 1,195 that declined. As many as 158 stocks remained unchanged.

    Here is a breakdown of the key highlights of Thursday's session:

    DHFL breaks 5-day losing spree
    Shares of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) broke a 5-day losing spree to close 1.71 per cent higher at Rs 71.25. The mortgage lender will present a debt resolution plan to its lenders within seven days. Banks and bondholders of the company met on Thursday to decide a resolution roadmap for outstanding loans.

    Religare Enterprises jumps 10%
    Hitting their upper price band, shares of Religare Enterprises closed 10 per cent up at Rs 42.95. The company said it will sell its entire stake in NBFC arm Religare Finvest (RFL) along with RFL's housing finance subsidiary RHDFC to TCG group for an undisclosed amount.

    Reliance Infra surges 11%
    Shares of Reliance Infrastructure surged 11 per cent to Rs 51.05 after its lenders signed an inter-creditor agreement (ICA) for the resolution of debt. Reliance Infrastructure, which has a debt of over Rs 6,000 crore, aims to be debt-free in 2020.

    Bharat Forge climbs 4%
    Shares of the auto-ancillary maker closed 4.47 per cent higher at Rs 463 after its subsidiary Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems (KRAS) bagged a $100 million (Rs 684 crore) contract from Israel's Rafael Advanced Defence Systems for manufacturing 1,000 BARAK-8 MRSAM missiles' kits for the Indian Army and Air Force.

    Tata Motors logs gains

    IndiGo extends losses
    Falling for the third consecutive session, shares of Interglobe Aviation (IndiGo) closed 3.07 per cent down at Rs 1,354.
