While the market remained lacklustre with a negative bias, the Sensex rolled back to the green by mid-noon trades on renewed buying support and surged to an intra-day high of 15341. However, a fresh round of profit-taking towards the fag end saw the Sensex pare its gains and end at 15311, up 39 points, while the Nifty added eight points to close at 4512.
