Bank Nifty advanced 1.10 per cent to settle at 44,479.05. NSE mid-cap and small-cap convincingly moved on the higher side as well.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said global markets have restrained from making significant moves as they await the outcome of the central bankers' gathering at Jackson Hole scheduled on Friday.
With the earnings season nearing its end, the heightened possibility of another rate hike in the US, along with the resultant increase in bond yields, are expected to keep the global market’s volatility high.
On the domestic front, sentiments remained positive, backed by strong demand in the banking sector, though IT and pharma limited the gains, Nair said.
