Frontline indices, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, extended gains for the fourth consecutive session on Monday, 6 July, as the revival of the monsoon and FIIs turning buyers this month underpinned investor risk appetite. The Sensex ended 521 points, or 0.67%, higher at 78,285, while the Nifty 50 closed at 24,430, up 160 points, or 0.66%. The mid and small-cap segments also rose.
