NEW DELHI: Headline Sensex and Nifty indices ended Mondays session in the green amid positive global cues on hopes of a Fed rate cut.

Losses in the HDFC twins, Kotak Mahindra Bank, ONGC and YES Bank weighed on Sensex, while IT and FMCG majors, including TCS, Infosys and ITC underpinned the index.
The 30-share pack ended 169 points, or 0.43 per cent, up at 39,784, with 20 stocks advancing. NSEs Nifty settled 52 points or 0.44 per cent, higher at 11,922, with 34 stocks closing with gains.
