Throughout the session the market zigzagged | | | between the negative and positive zones, making investors nervous. After resuming slightly lower at 14231, the index gained nearly 200 points in early trades before frenetic buying by mid-morning trades helped the index erase all its losses and gain around 100 points to touch an intra-day high of 14406. However, the market failed to sustain the early optimism and drifted into negative territory in noon trades, with the index nearly crashing below the 14000 mark and touching an intra-day low of 13976 on hectic selling in bank, oil and technology stocks. The Sensex finally dropped 241 points or 1.69% to close at 14061 while the Nifty shed 48 points at 4270. Although the market fell sharply, yet the breadth of the market was highly strong.

The BSE CD Index and the BSE Metal Index gained over 5-9% each while the BSE Auto Index, the BSE PSU Index and the BSE HC Index advanced by more than 1-2% each.
