The market continued with its awesome display and achieved a new peak on the back of all-round buying. Resuming on a firm note at 15019, 55 points above its previous close of 14964, the Sensex rallied sharply and zoomed above the 15050 mark to touch a new intra-day high of 15085 on strong upmove in most of the index heavyweights and other side counters. However, profit-taking in select counters, particularly, in Reliance Energy, towards the close saw the Sensex pare gains to a considerable extent and close at a new high of 15046, up 82 points. The Nifty also edged higher and closed at 4417.
