Sensex ends flat amid volatility
Overlooking favorable cues from the global markets, the Sensex opened with a marginal positive gap of 9.34 points at 16,686.38. Subsequently, the gauge touched a 16-month high of 16,820.02 due to buying support in the IT, Auto and Banking stocks. However, in the early afternoon deals, the gauge soon pared all its gains and slipped in to the red zone as higher than expected inflation figure weighed on investors’ sentiments. The market, nevertheless, recovered due to bargain-hunting at lower levels. The bourse gained further ground in the last session of trade helped by positive European markets. The Sensex finally ended the choppy session flat with a
marginal gain of 34.07 points or 0.20%, at 16,711.11.
The Nifty closed the day above the 4,900 mark with a gain of 7.15 points or
0.14%, at 4,965.55.
