Mumbai, September 21
The BSE benchmark, Sensex, closed above the 20,000-mark for the first time since 2008 to close at 20,001.55 points today. It was the 20th occasion when the Sensex breached this psychological barrier. The Sensex first closed above 20k on December 11, 2007, and the last time it did so was on January 15, 2008. In the broader markets, the Nifty also closed at 6,009 points. However, unlike in the earlier instances, investors have begun to turn cautious with broader indices showing sharp declines today.
