Mumbai: Reversing its five-day losing streak, the benchmark Sensex surged 317 points and the NSE Nifty reclaimed the 8,500-mark today amid positive developments on US election front as the FBI said Hillary Clinton would not face charges over her use of a private email server.

Short-covering of bets by speculators also supported the upmove.
