Sensex tops 67K; Nifty crosses 20,000 for first time on rally in PSU banks and RIL

After playing hide-and-seek for the last two months, the magical number of 20,000 was finally seen on Nifty on Monday as investor optimism around India’s leadership at the G20 summit overshadowed worries arising out of crude at $90 a barrel. Nifty took 36 sessions to cross the previous peak of 19,991.85 and went on to scale the 20,000 mark as well during the session. BSE Sensex crossed the 67,000 points mark on Monday on enthusiasm over the G20 Summit.
