Sensex gains 46.70 points to end at 36,241, Nifty up 7 points to 10,883.75

The BSE Sensex pared initial gains on Monday to end modestly higher at 36,241 points on profit-booking at higher levels amid mixed global cues. The stocks witnessed an early morning euphoria owing to Saturday's G20 Summit, where US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping negotiated a 90-day trade war truce.

The BSE Sensex, however, gained 46.70 points to end at 36,241 continuing its rising streak for the sixth straight session on Monday. The market sentiment took a hit from a sharp surge in crude oil prices and depreciation in the rupee against the US dollar. In a similar move, the broader NSE Nifty edged up by 7 points to close at 10,883.75.
