It moved gradually up on sustained buying in front-line stocks to touch the day's high of 9000. However, a strong bout of selling thereafter saw the market dip into red towards the close but buying at lower levels helped Sensex to pare some of the losses. Sensex finally closed at 8967, down 35 points, while Nifty ended flat at 2807.
