Date:

Market benchmark Sensex extended gains for the second straight session to reclaim the 28,000-mark by surging over 177 points in early trade today, tracking gains on Wall Street and other Asian bourses.

The BSE 30-share barometer, which had gained 120.41 points in yesterday’s trade, advanced by 176.95 points, or 0.63 per cent, to 28,079.61.

A firm trend at other Asian bourses following a strong lead from Wall Street too influenced sentiment, they added.
