Sensex and Nifty closed higher for fifth straight day amidst the volatile trade. The Sensex closed 60.19 points up to settle at 33,940.44 while Nifty settled at 10,417.15 mark. Investors are focussing on key domestic cues of retail inflation data and industrial production data due tomorrow and corporate results starting Friday. Most Asian shares rose as investor sentiment improved after China's President Xi Jinping helped ease fears over a US-China trade row. However, weakness in the US dollar against select currencies overseas and a higher opening in domestic equities capped the losses.
