Along with the selling in heavyweights, the major correction in auto, banking and IT stocks also weighed on the indices. However, select buying in public sector units (PSU) and metal stocks towards the close saw the Sensex enter into the green. The Sensex finally closed the session with a gain of three points at 18,663, while the Nifty moved up by 20 points at 5,484.

The BSE HC index, the BSE Oil & Gas index, the BSE Power index, the BSE PSU index and the BSE Realty index were the other notable gainers, while the BSE Auto index, the BSE Banking index and the BSE IT index ended weak.
