Mumbai, Sep 10 (PTI) Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended higher on Thursday, snapping three days of decline, on fag-end buying in blue-chip HDFC Bank and Axis Bank. However, elevated crude oil prices above USD 100-per-barrel mark, amid persistent geopolitical tensions, kept risk appetite subdued throughout the day. The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 138.36 points, or 0.19 per cent, to settle at 74,902.59 on last minute buying. During the day, it hit a high of 74,910.96 and a low of 74,598.47. The 50-share NSE Nifty edged higher by 46.30 points, or 0.20 per cent, to end at 23,477.80. Among
