BSE Sensex hits one-month closing high on Modi's housing push

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex marked its highest close in a month on Thursday, as mortgage lenders such as Housing Development Finance Corp rose on hopes the government's push on housing would aid income.

The 30-share BSE Sensex gained 0.6 percent, marking its highest close since May 22, while the 50-share Nifty rose 0.44 percent.

Both the indexes also marked their ninth session of gains in 10.
