Mumbai: On Thursday,  BSE benchmark Sensex rise over 150 points in early trade on sustained buying by domestic and foreign institutional investors, ahead of RBI's policy outcome later in the day. The 30-share index was trading 161.53 points, or 0.44 per cent, higher at 37,136.76. Similarly, the 50-share NSE Nifty rose 33.05 points, or 0.30 per cent to 11,095.50.

However on Wednesday, the Sensex climbed 358.42 points, or 0.98 per cent, to close at 36,975.23; and the broader Nifty jumped 128.10 points, or 1.17 per cent, to 11,062.45. According to traders, domestic investors remained bullish tracking sustained inflow from domestic and foreign funds, amid hopes that the RBI may change its policy stance to 'neutral' from 'calibrated tightening' on low inflation footprint, even as a rate cut was ruled out by many experts. While the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled to announce its policy decision later in the day.
