Indian equities ended on a positive note in Wednesday’s session led by strong support from the banking and pharma space. Benchmark Sensex rose for a ninth straight session while Nifty closed above the record 20,000 mark for the first time as positive macroeconomic data triggered buying in banking, energy and telecom shares. The 30-share BSE Sensex settled at 67,466.99, up 246 points or 0.37% in the longest winning streak in the last five months. As many as 20 Sensex shares closed in the green while 10 declined.The broader Nifty closed above the 20,000 mark for the first time, rallying 77 points or 0.38% to 20,070, its all-time closing high. Of 50 Nifty shares, 31 closed higher and 19 declined.Reversal from the lower levels in the mid and smallcap space also provided a boost to the headline index. Sectorally, buying was broad-based, except for the Auto and IT spaces that witnessed selling pressure."Following a flat opening, the Nifty continued higher and closed above 20000 for the first time. Nifty has a strong support near 19900-19950 levels. Traders should hold the long position in Nifty with a stop loss of 19900 levels.
