New Delhi, June 18 -- Ending the highly volatile trading session in the green, the benchmark indices managed to end higher for the fifth session in a row on Thursday, 18 June. Continued weakness in crude oil prices following the US-Iran peace deal helped to tide over the hawkish commentary from the US Federal Reserve.

The BSE barometer Sensex ended the session at 77,410, up 254 points or 0.33%. Its NSE counterpart Nifty 50 settled the day at 24,168, higher by 82 points or 0.34%.
