Benchmark indices bounced back on Monday after a three-day fall, largely helped by buying in banking counters.

During the day, it climbed 436.76 points or 0.74% to 59,277.55.
The NSE Nifty went higher by 91.40 points or 0.52% to close at 17,622.25.
From the Sensex pack, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, State Bank of India, Hindustan Unilever, Nestle, and Bajaj Finserv were among the major winners.
Tata Steel, ICICI Bank, and Power Grid were among the laggards.
Elsewhere in Asia, markets in Seoul, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong ended lower.
