The Sensex opened 42 points lower at 15,196, owing
to weak global cues. Thereafter, the index rebounded
into the positive zone to touch a high of 15,261. The
index, however, failed to hold gains and slipped after
the Bombay High Court's verdict on the RIL-RNRL gas
dispute case. Heavy selling by foreign investors pushed
the index to touch a low of 14,807, down 454 points.
The index kept on plunging on account of profit booking in the oil & gas, metal,
capital goods, realty and auto stocks. The BSE Oil & Gas slipped 4.5% to 10,036.
The Metal, Capital Goods, Realty, Auto, Consumer Durables, Power and
Technology indices were down 1-4% each. The Sensex, which was down for the
last three straight trading days, ended below crucial 15,000-mark today. The
index finally ended with a loss of 362 points, at 14,875.
