New Delhi, July 18 (IANS) The domestic equity market closed the week with modest gains, supported by upbeat corporate earnings and policy measures, even as investors remained cautious amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a sharp rally in crude oil prices.
For the week, the Nifty advanced 127.4 points, or 0.5 per cent, while the Sensex gained 582.06 points, or 0.8 per cent, reversing the losses seen in the previous week.
Investor sentiment remained guarded after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had carried out a fresh wave of offensive strikes against Iran on July 12, targeting multiple locations to degrade Tehran's ability to attack international shipping passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
