The Sensex, which was in a bear grip in the last few sessions, resumed in negative territory, tracking weak global cues, and fell sharply within a few minutes on heavy selling in blue chip stocks such as Reliance, Infosys and ACC. But, the index recovered as bargain hunters started buying at lower levels and touched the day's high of 17705. However, the Sensex entered in the red by afternoon on profit booking in heavyweights, information technology, oil and realty stocks. While the market maintained its negative bias for the better part of the day, the mood turned bullish towards the close and the index jumped into the green. The Sensex finally ended the session with a gain of 54 points at 17614 while the Nifty slipped 31 points to close at 5184.
