A positive opening in the European market helped investor sentiments even as clouds hovered over the health of the global banking system amid Credit Suisse woes and bank failures in the US.

Halting its five-day losing streak, the 30-share BSE benchmark rose 78.94 points or 0.14 per cent to close at 57,634.84 points. The 50-share NSE Nifty advanced 13.45 points or 0.08 per cent to settle at 16,985.60 points. Equity benchmarks bounced back to end in the positive territory after trading lower for the most part of the volatile session.

BPCL was the biggest gainer in the NSE Nifty 50 pack followed by HUL, Asian Paints, Nestle India, and Titan.

Conversely, Hindalco, Tata Steel, IndusInd Bank, JSW Steel, and HDFC Life Insurance were among the top losers.
