Key domestic indices ended with decent gains on Thursday, April 16, 2020, snapping losses in the past two sessions. The trading was volatile due to expiry of weekly index options on NSE. The Nifty, however, failed to close above the 9,000 level.

The barometer S&P BSE Sensex rose 222.80 points or 0.73% at 30,602.61. The Nifty 50 index added 67.50 points or 0.76% at 8,992.80. Gains were boosted by the media reports suggesting that the government is working on a fiscal package and is closely studying the impact of COVID-19 on various industries. According to reports, the government is conducting a detailed sectoral analysis on the impact of COVID-19 and an announcement should be made soon.
