Sensex ends in green first time in three days, after 945-point swing

Adani rout, budget, Fed meet keep investors on tenterhooks

After a day of sharp volatility, the benchmark Sensex managed to end in the green for the first time in three days. However, the extended rout in Adani group stocks and the uncertainty caused by the Union Budget and the Federal Reserve rate-setting meeting kept investors on the tenterhooks.

The Sensex swung 945-points before settling 170 points, or 0.3 per cent, higher at 59,500. The Nifty ended the session at 17,649, with a gain of 44 points, or 0.25 per cent. India VIX, a gauge measuring volatility rose 2 per cent and was trading at 17.7.
