Driven by the ongoing rally, investors' wealth also jumped by Rs 8,52,748.98 crore in five days as the BSE benchmark index gained 1,547.32 points in five sessions.
"The mood of the global market is muted by inflation fears & high bond yields ahead of the release of US inflation data. However, the Indian market is robust due to the festival season.
