Bulls took the momentum back from bears on Tuesday as benchmarks ended the day on a strong note, courtesy a surge in banks and pharmaceuticals among others. An uptick in midcaps, too, helped the market close in the green. The Nifty managed to reclaim 11,400, while the Sensex ended over 200 points higher. This happened even as the rupee touched an all-time low during the day and hovered around 69.85 levels at the time of equity benchmarks closing.At the close of market hours, the Sensex is up 207.10 points or 0.55% at 37852.00, while the Nifty closed up 79.30 points or 0.70% at 11435.10. The market breadth is still negative as 1,287 shares advanced, against a decline of 1,370 shares, while 160 shares were unchanged.
