The key Indian equity indices ended at fresh record closing levels on Tuesday with nominal gains amid a largely choppy trade. The trade was tepid as traders booked profits after the indices hit record levels earlier in the day, analysts said. Both the S&P BSE Sensex and the Nifty 50 on the National Stock Exchange touched new all-time intra-day highs of 38,402.96 points and 11,581.75 points respectively. However, broadly negative Asian markets along with investors' fears over rise in trade protectionist measures and high crude oil prices subdued the key indices later in the day. Conversely, a strengthened rupee against the US dollar during the intra-day aided the key indices to arrest the slide. It strengthened to an intra-day high of 69.53 to a greenback. Buying activity was witnessed in healthcare, IT (information technology) and capital goods stocks. However, selling pressure on consumer durables and metal stocks limited the gains.
