    The 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex surged 655 points or 0.9% to settle at 73,651. The broader NSE Nifty gained 203 points or 0.92% to end at 22,327. Meanwhile, the Nifty and BSE Sensex gained about 29% and 25%, respectively, in FY24.

    The rupee depreciated 6 paise to settle at 83.39 against the US dollar on Thursday due to a strengthening greenback against major rivals overseas and rising crude oil prices in the international markets.

    The S&P 500 closed out the week with slight gains on Thursday, with the benchmark index notching its strongest first quarter in five years, as investors digested the latest batch of economic data while looking towards the next inflation reading.

    The yen languished near its weakest in decades on Thursday though the threat of intervention from Japanese authorities kept investors leery of pushing the currency to a new low, while Asian stocks rose ahead of a key U.S. inflation reading.
