In similar fashion, the National Stock Exchange index Nifty closed higher by 16.85 points at 4,356.35. It touched the day's high of 4,406.40 and a low of 4,341.50 points.

The recovery was on the back of a surge in capital goods, public sector undertaking, realty and oil and gas stocks.

Brokers said the domestic market rebounded after global markets recovered from their lowest levels in a month on speculation the US government will take steps to check mortgage losses that led to a crash in global equities.

"This is a pull back in select segment stocks after the recent decline," Rajiv Malik, a Mumbai-based broker, said and added, "the US housing problem is still a worry and until that is sorted out, markets will remain volatile".
