Mumbai: Arresting the three-day falling trend, share prices recovered smartly on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) today (Nov 21) following emergence of heavy all-round buying support and the Sensex zoomed up by 67.31 points to close at 4,838.54.

During the early trade, prices fell sharply in line with weak advices from New York and Europe, where investors indulged in heavy nervous selling after yesterday's bombings in Istanbul in Turkey, which killed around 15 people, brokers said.

The BSE-30 index started the day on a weak note at 4,770.75 and after falling further to 4,736.70, bounced back to 4,851.67, before closing at 4,838.54, showing a sharp rally of 1.41 pct over the previous close of 4,771.23.

The active BSE-100 index also firmed up by 28.55 points to 2483.48 from the last close of 2,454.93.

The major index-based gainers were Reliance, BSES, BHEL, Grasim, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, ITC, Infosys Tech, Wipro, Tata Motors and Tisco.

Other firm spots were ACC, Bajaj Auto, Larsen & Toubro, ONGC, MTNL, Tata Power, Satyam Comp and Zee Tele.

However, counters like Cipla, Hero Honda and Ranbaxy met with increased selling pressure and closed weak.
