Prashant Tapase, Senior Vice President (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said benchmark indices hit new highs in a positive trading session supported by broad-based buying as expectations of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve next month after last week's Jackson Hole meeting further boosted investor sentiment.
