The counter was under selling pressure in the previous five trading sessions due to uncertainty over its USD 2-billion fund raising plan.
"Yes Bank shares has been consistently witnessing selling pressure amid high speculation of asset quality concerns and its inability to raise funds. This has led to significant selling from key shareholders of the bank including its promoters," Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking said.
The management has time and again clarified that the bank's asset quality has stabilised and has received investment proposals of over 2 billion dollars. However, nothing has yet been materialised for the bank, he further said.
While citing probable reasons of surge in the price of scrip on Thursday, Mishra said that several factors like short covering, anticipation of positive outcome regarding fund raising plan of the lender among other factors led to rise in the price of scrip.
Besides, he added that private sector banks were also trading in green on Thursday.
S&P BSE Private Banks Index ended with a gain of 1.07 per cent at 12,628.99.

The binding offer of USD 1.2 billion submitted by Erwin Singh Braich / SPGP Holdings continues to be under discussion, it had added. SHW SRS MR MR
