BSE Sensex crosses 17,000 Mark

Stocks are on rise, as the BSE Sensex continues its dream run to cross the 17,000 mark for the first time in history. It gained more than 1,000 points since the U.S. Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate unexpectedly. The Sensex gained mostly in banking and technology shares. The rise from 16,000 was the fastest-ever 1,000-point gain for the Sensex.
