Sensex shoots up 259 points
Analysts feel the time is ripe to start buying stocks with a medium-term outlook as the markets are close to their bottom, reports Vyas Mohan.
Indian Stocks brushed aside worries of political instability and rallied alongside its Asian peers as a weaker Yen and expectations of an interest-rate cut in the US fuelled investor appetite on Wednesday.

While the benchmark index of the BSE gained 259 points or 1.86 per cent to close at 14,248.66 points, the 50-share Nifty of the NSE firmed up by 1.92 per cent to end at 4153.15.

Brokers said there was good buying interest from institutions at lower levels.
