Buy or sell stocks, Sept. 9 -- The key benchmark indices of the Indian stock market ended marginally higher in a choppy trading session on September 8, with benchmark indices witnessing a volatile intraday trajectory. The Nifty 50 opened on a firm note, buoyed by improved global sentiment after former US President Donald Trump remarked on the "special relationship" between the US and India, downplaying geopolitical concerns. The index gained traction in early trade, scaling an intraday high of 24,885 in the second half of the session. However, higher-level profit-booking capped the upside, leading the index to pare most of its gains and eventually settle at 24,773.15, up 32 points or 0.13% on the day.
