However, IT stocks moved up in anticipation of companies reporting good numbers and some value buying. The market recovered thereafter, but due to lack of buying interest in most of the counters the trading was range-bound with an upward bias. The market eventually gave up its early gains and wrapped up the session with a gain of 71 points at 19,163. The broad based Nifty closed the session at 5,767 up 15 points. | | | Movers & Shakers | - ICRA slipped despite signing a MoU with Corporation Bank to rate bank loans under RBI's New Capital Adequacy Framework for Basel - II.
