Erasing
most of its 130-point early gain, the Sensex today ended flat after
four days of straight losses as auto, realty and power stocks came under
selling pressure amid a weakening trend in the rupee.
After opening 74 points higher on strong Asian cues, the BSE benchmark index rose to the day's high of 17,236.08 soon after but lost momentum from thereon.
The Sensex finally closed 1.99 points up at 17,105.30, supported by gains in FMCG and Healthcare shares.
In the 30-share index, 17 stocks including Bajaj Auto, TCS, Bhel and ONGC ended lower while 13 scrips including Wipro, Dr. Reddy's, ITC and Bharti Airtel gained.
The Sensex had lost 515 points or nearly 3 per cent in the last four days amid investors remaining cautious about the economic prospects as deficient monsoon rain could fan inflation, still above the Reserve Bank's threshold level.
However, the National Stock Exchange index Nifty ended lower by 4.40 per cent, 0.08 per cent to 5,192.85.
After a good opening, shares succumbed to selling. Results season is characterized by stock-specific action.
The rupee also frittered away its early gains and was trading at 55.05 levels after going up to 54.9 in morning.
Brokers said a better trend in Asia and European stock markets steadied the sentiment, helping the Indian market cushion against deep losses.

Asian indices,
including those in Singapore, China and Japan, ended higher with investors
hoping that US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will
suggest in his semi-annual testimony to the Congress today that fresh
policy-easing moves may be on the cards, said experts.
Key benchmark indices in Singapore, Japan, China, South Korea and Hong Kong were up by 0.23 per cent to 1.75 per cent.
European stocks were trading narrowly mixed in their early trade as indices in France (CAC) and Germany (DAX) inched up by 0.45 per cent to 0.43 per cent while the UK's FTSE eased by 0.10 per cent.
Back home, 17 out of 30 Sensex constituents closed with losses while others finished with gains.
Wipro was the top gainer from the Sensex pack with a rise of 1.91 per cent, followed by Dr Reddy's Lab (1.67 pc), ITC (1.37 pc), Bharti Airtel (1.24 pc), Hindalco (1.14 pc), Sun Pharma (1.13 pc) and Coal India (0.78 pc).

Among the sectoral indices, BSE-FMCG firmed up by 0.96 per cent and BSE-HC rose by 0.71 per cent.
On the other hand, BSE-Auto dropped by 1.28 per cent, BSE-Realty shed 1.24 per cent, BSE-Power lost 1.09 per cent and BSE-CG ended 0.79 per cent lower.
Second-line stocks under-performed the Sensex as the BSE-Smallcap and BSE-Midcap indices closed down by 0.86 per cent and 0.82 per cent respectively, reflecting pulling out of funds by retail investors in the uncertain market scenario.
