| | | Extending its healthy upmove of over 900 points registered in the last six sessions, the Sensex commenced 112 points higher at 10913 and swiftly moved past around the 11000 mark in early trades with gains of more than 200 points. While the market remained largely unchanged above 10900 in the first half of the session, the index received a jolt in the afternoon as it slipped into the red on selective selling to touch the day's low of 10800. However, a smart bounce thereafter and buoyancy in heavyweight, metal, BSE Bankex and realty stocks towards the close saw the index surge to an intra-day high of 11070. The Sensex finally ended the session with gains of 163 points at 10967 while the Nifty added 41 points to close at 3383.
