Gainers included Bharat Electronics, Mahindra & Mahindra, Adani Ports, HCLTech, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Larsen & Toubro, Hindustan Unilever, and UltraTech Cement.

Gold prices surged to a three-week high, driven by expectations of a potential US government reopening and the possibility of a Federal Reserve rate cut next month.
