Mumbai: The BSE Sensex edged higher in thin-volume trading on a special trading session on Saturday, as gains in healthcare stocks were offset by profit taking in metals.
The benchmark Sensex closed 0.01% higher at 21,755.32 points while the broader Niftyclosed 0.03% higher at 6,494.90 points, staying away from record highs hit early in the week due to inflows of overseas funds.
Pharmaceutical companies gained with Cipla Ltd closing 1.77% higher and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries gained 0.7% on value-buying.
Some of the recent outperformers such as metals saw selling pressure. Hindalco Industries closed 1.9% lower after gaining 3.28% on Friday. REUTERS
