The Sensex saw strong optimism vanish after adding 68 points to touch the day's high of 20,172. The market zigzagged between its positives and negatives thereafter, but eased in the afternoon on sustained selling in capital goods, banking and tech stocks to touch the intra-day low of 19,936. Heavy buying in most of the index pivotal stocks helped Sensex trim most of its losses towards the close and end the session at 20,031, down 74 points. The Nifty closed with a loss of 10 points at 6,048. However, the market breadth was heavily tilted in favour of gainers as 2,082 stocks advanced, 830 stocks declined and 28 stocks remained unchanged on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
