The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also moved up by 47.35 points, or 0.95 per cent, to 5,022.15.

Brokers said emergence of buying by funds and retail investors as stocks value turned attractive after recent losses helped trading sentiments to improve.

In addition, marginally recovery on the other Asian bourses, too, had a positive impact on the trading sentiments here, they said.
