The Sensex saw strong optimism to vanish after adding 251 points to touch the day's high of 18,009. The market zigzagged between its positives and negatives thereafter, but eased in the afternoon on sustained selling in power, realty and Bankex stocks to touch the intra-day low of 17,418. Heavy buying in most of the index pivotal stocks helped Sensex trim most of its losses towards the close and end the session at 17,649, down 110 points. The Nifty closed with a loss of 30 points at 5,137. | | | Movers & Shakers | - Rajesh Exports surged on bagging a major order worth Rs463 crore from M/s Excel Goldsmiths.
