Benchmark index Sensex touched pshycholigically crucial 60,000 mark this morning after more than four months. A slight moderation in inflation -- both in the US and India -- coupled with fresh inflow of foreign funds into Indian capital markets infused positive investor sentiments.

At 10.48 a.m., Sensex traded at 60,149 points, up 0.5 per cent from Tuesday's closing. Sensex last touched 60,000 mark in early April.
