Mumbai: The post-Budget climb went on for the third day as the Sensex managed to close at 28,241 with a minuscule gain after a monthly survey suggested that Reserve Bank has much headroom to stay accommodative in its policy meet next week.
Aided by banking and healthcare stocks, the 30-share Sensex moved sideways for much of the session before settling at 28,240.52, up 13.91 points, or 0.05%. The previous two sessions have seen a rally of 570.65 points after the Union Budget was greeted positively by investors. The 50-share NSE Nifty settled at 8,740.95, up 6.70 points, or 0.08%.
