The market managed to pick up the momentum in mid-morning trades and touched the intra-day high of 14390. But the profit booking in index heavyweights Tata Steel, SBI and HDFC Bank pulled the Sensex down to touch the day's low of 14174. However, the Information Technology index and Consumer Durables index bucked the trend and closed in the green. While the market remained choppy for most of the trading session, the resumption of buying at lower levels helped the Sensex to pare some losses towards the close. However, the Sensex finally closed the session after shedding 145 points at 14218, while the Nifty lost 41 points at 4205.
