Yet another day the Sensex could not sustain above 14000 level. The market moved in a range for most part of the morning session but eased in the afternoon on sustained selling in information technology (IT) and oil stocks to touch the intra-day low of 13885. Buying at lower levels among front-line stocks helped the Sensex to trim the losses towards the close and the index wrapped up the session at 13929, down 37 points. The Nifty shed 14 points and closed at 4120.
