Why is the BSE Sensex higher today?

The benchmark recovered from a low of 72,515 points to finish at its session high. Buying returned to metals, pharmaceuticals and healthcare shares after four consecutive declines, ET Now reported.

Elevated crude prices and geopolitical uncertainty still limited the recovery. Tata Consumer Products fell despite reporting a 16 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated profit to INR 470 crore and 14 percent revenue growth to INR 5,661 crore, The Economic Times reported.
