The jolt came with Q3FY2009 gross domestic product (GDP) figures that came lower than street expectation and led the index slide to touch the day's low of 8729. However, a bout of buying saw it nearly rebound and cross 8900 levels in late trades. Anyway, Sensex pared some losses towards the close and ended the session at 8892, down 63 points. Nifty declined 22 points to 2764. Of the 13 sectoral indices at BSE, 10 posted losses for the day. The remaining three (BSE Bankex, BSE FMCG and BSE Metal) were up only marginally. BSE Realty shed 2.29% and BSE Oil & Gas lost 1.64% while BSE Teck and BSE CD were down around 1% each.
