New Delhi, June 2 -- The Indian stock market's benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, snapped their four-day losing run on Tuesday, 2 June, amid gains in IT heavyweights.

After losing almost 3% in the last four trading days amid the Middle East conflict and relentless selling by foreign investors, the BSE barometer Sensex closed the day at 74,650, up 383 points or 0.52%, and its NSE counterpart Nifty 50 ended 101 points or 0.43% higher at 23,484.

The broader markets also gained but underperformed the benchmark indices. NSE Midcap 100 added 0.19%, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 0.40%.

More to come.
