[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Nifty ended the extended 6-day trading week around 2% higher as moderation in India's CPI and lower-than-expected inflation figures from the US Fed boosted investor confidence. Global market cues remained largely supportive as major indices of the US market such as Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow touched lifetime highs.
