Domestic equity benchmarks registered sharp gains on Monday, snapping out of a two-day losing streak, amid buying interest in pockets like IT, energy and automobiles. However, weakness in financial stocks kept the upside in check. Both headline indices rose about half a per cent for the day. The Sensex gained 418.8 points, or 0.5 per cent, to end at 81,018.7 while the Nifty50 added 157.4 points, or 0.6 per cent, to settle at 24,722.8. With Monday's gains, investors recovered about half of the losses incurred last weeks as US President Donald Trump's 25 per cent trade tariff on India came into force.
