After yesterday's flat close, the market saw a gap up opening tracking positive Asian peers. But, indices came off their highs as investors booked profits in heavyweights, capital goods, and power stocks and the Sensex touched the day's low of 19,098. 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.
The market breadth was negative, with losers outpacing gainers in the ratio of 1.5:1. Of the 2,950 stocks traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), 1,754 stocks declined, 1,166 stocks advanced and 30 stocks ended unchanged. Most of the sectoral indices ended in the red.
