After a cautious start at 16,641, four points below its previous close of 16,737, the index slipped deep into red after a disappointing 3% year-on-year growth in the index of industrial production (IIP), much below the consensus expectation of 5.8% year-on-year growth. The Sensex touched the day's low of 16,547, down 190 points. However, the rupee touching the 13-month low of Rs42.02 a dollar triggered a major rally in IT stocks and the index touched the intra-day high of 16,897, up 350 points from the day's low. The Sensex finally ended the session marginally below the 16,900 mark at 16,861, up 124 points, while the Nifty added 30 points to close at 5,013. The breadth of the market was negative, with the losers outpacing the gainers in a ratio of 1.90:1. Of the 2,747 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,777 stocks declined, 920 stocks advanced and 50 stocks ended unchanged.
