The day started with the overnight | | | | gains of the US markets that jumped by over1%. The trend was continued by the Asian indices that registered gains in the range of 0.13-1.85% each, with India's Sensex losing the most whereas China's Shanghai Composite rising the most. Even FTSE 100 that opened strongly is trading at 5265 with 58 points or about 1% gains at the time of writing the report. The Singapore Nifty rose marginally by 10 points in today's trade.

On the back of heavy sell-off in the major index components, the Sensex that once touched 17000 level and traded with strong gains, lost steam in the closing hours and ended the day slightly higher with marginal gains despite global indices remaining strongly upbeat. The Sensex that opened at 16796 with gains of mere 6 points later went to hit the high of 17007. However it couldn't hold on to such gains, remained volatile and ended the day with marginal gain of 21 points amid the heavy selling in the Sensex heavyweights. The Indian markets ignored the strong indicators from the European and Asian markets. While the Sensex during the day saw the low of 16765, it closed at 16811.
