Investor sentiment was boosted by a flurry of deals and robust institutional buying, with Shriram Finance and Max Healthcare emerging as the star Nifty performers of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recovery on D-Street was broad-based, with the Sensex jumping 447.55 points or 0.53% to close at 84,929.36. The Nifty 50 followed suit, gaining 150.90 points or 0.58% to end at 25,966.40.
