Stock Markets Today India: Benchmark equity indices surged more than 1 per cent to hit their new all-time highs on Friday, with the Sensex breaching the 71,000 mark, as domestic macroeconomic data and easing concerns over the US economic growth bolstered market sentiment.
Besides, heavy buying in IT, tech and metal counters amid sustained buying by foreign investors helped the domestic equities, traders said.

During the day, it zoomed 309.6 points or 1.46 per cent to hit its record intra-day peak of 21,492.30.
The US Federal Reserve keeping its key interest rate unchanged and signalling rate cuts next year, along with continuous foreign fund inflows into the equity markets, have fuelled the rally in stocks.
HCL Technologies was the biggest gainer in the Sensex pack, rising 5.58 per cent, followed by Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, State Bank of India, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel, NTPC and Wipro.
In contrast, Nestle, Bharti Airtel, Maruti and ITC were among the laggards.
In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong settled with gains, while Shanghai ended lower.
European markets were trading on a mixed note. The US markets ended higher on Thursday.
