Mumbai: Equity benchmark Sensex surged 318 points to end at its new lifetime high Thursday, tracking gains in ICICI Bank, L&T and Tech Mahindra.

On the other hand, Dr Reddys, IndusInd Bank, Reliance Industries and Axis Bank were among the laggards.
Domestic equities recovered sharply mainly led by sharp rebound in IT and PSU banks. Additionally, strong buying was seen in midcap and smallcap stocks today after persistent selling for last couple of days, said Binod Modi, Head Strategy at Reliance Securities.
IT stocks remained in focus and investors continue to lap-up quality IT names as sustained double-digit revenue growth visibility backed by strong deal wins offer comfort, he noted.

Equities in Europe were largely trading on a positive note in mid-session deals.
Meanwhile, international oil benchmark Brent crude rose 0.17 per cent to USD 71.56 per barrel.
