Mumbai: The stock markets had a mix start on Friday, a day after the bourses reached the highest mark in the last three weeks making continuous gains in the last five sessions.

The early losses were recovered as markets continued to show positivity.

The Sensex reached 39,218.60 on the upside gaining 166.54 points in the first hour of the trade while the Nifty rose to 11,635.45 up 49.1 points.

Banking, auto, energy and metal shares led the upward movement of the markets.
