Taking cue from | 
| | | firm global indices, Sensex started on a positive note at 10,258. However it failed to sustain its gains, as a sharp bout of profit-taking pulled the index below 10,200 to an intra-day low of 10,151. While the market remained lacklustre with a negative bias for sometime, Sensex rolled back to the green by mid-noon trades on renewed buying support, and surged to an intra-day high of 10,392. But, a fresh round of profit-taking towards the fag end saw Sensex pare its gains and end at 10,336, up 60 points, while Nifty lost nine points to close at 3,113.
The market breadth was negative. Of 2,606 stocks traded on BSE, 1,271 stocks declined, whereas 1,244 stocks advanced. Ninety one stocks remained unchanged. Among sectoral indices, BSE Realty dropped 3.98% while BSE CD, BSE Tech, BSE Power and BSE PSU also ended at lower levels. BSE Metal, BSE Bankex and BSE Auto gained around 1-2% each.
Select heavyweights edged higher on the back of decent buying. Grasim Industries rose 8.37% at Rs1,334.65, ACC jumped 7.67% at Rs544.95, JP Associates advanced 7.34% at Rs100.85, Satyam Computer Services added 7.31% at Rs179.10, Mahindra & Mahindra gained 7.23% at Rs317.95 and HDFC Bank gained 5.53% at Rs1100.45. However, select front-line stocks came under selling pressure. Reliance Communications was the major loser and dropped 5.65% at Rs248.85. Other draggers were DLF that declined 5.41% at Rs279.80, Bharti Airtel that dropped 4.17% at Rs656.80 and Tata Power that shed 3.07% at Rs804.70.
