Shares of jewellery manufacturers on Monday gained up to 7.5 per cent in an otherwise weak stock market amid hopes of pick-up in sales of gold jewellery and coins on Akshaya Tritiya.

Akshaya Tritiya is considered auspicious to buy gold. Both the leading stock exchanges NSE and BSE have decided to extend the trading session for gold ETFs today beyond the normal market hours of 9 am to 3.30pm. They can be traded till 7pm today.

In the stock market, the BSE benchmark Sensex was trading at 19,898.44, down 223.88 points in afternoon trade.
