Nifty, Sensex end higher, but July their worst month this year

Indian shares ended higher on Wednesday, boosted by public sector banks and metal stocks, but recorded their worst month this year in July as the results season that began earlier this month failed to cheer investors

For July, the NSE Nifty was down 5.7%, its worst since September, while BSE Sensex fell 4.9% to an eight-month low.

Public sector banks and metals were top boosts, with their indexes rising 1.73% and 2.42%, respectively on Wednesday.
