BSE: Top gainers and losers

Markets ended higher on Tuesday, shrugging off the partial US federal government shutdown, led by financials after the first quarter CAD came in line with expectations and moderate contraction in PMI September manufacturing.

Encouraging sales reported by auto companies also boosted sentiment.

The 30-share Sensex was up 137 points at 19,517 and the 50-share Nifty was up 45 points at 5,780.
