Oil reached a record $100 a barrel on Wednesday and gold soared to its all-time high of $861 an ounce. Mirroring the same the Sensex had a gap-down opening at 20,404. However, the Sensex shrugged off the global weakness and bounced back from its early lows with oil & gas and power stocks in lead. The Sensex touched the day's high of 20,520 by mid-morning trades. But, the market gave up its gains due to profit booking in heavyweights, consumer durables, information technology and pharma stocks. As trading progressed the Sensex lost its strength and slipped into the negative territory to touch the day's low of 20,294. The Sensex pared some losses towards the close, but sustained selling in index pivotal stocks kept the index in the negative territory. The Sensex finally closed the session by shedding 120 points at 20,345, while the Nifty ended on a flat note at 6,179.
