A rebound in global sentiment on hopes of a likely thaw in US-China trade relations, coupled with value buying, aided the key Indian equity indices to end on a positive note on Friday. The Sensex and Nifty ended over 0.50 per cent higher.
Initially, the domestic equity market was subdued by the downtrend in global indices. However, as the day progressed, reports of a likely thaw in frosty US-China trade relations buoyed global and domestic sentiments.
