The index hovered between the negative and positive territory till the afternoon session. In the last hour of trade, the Sensex gathered some momentum and moved higher, hitting the day's high of 20335 as the European markets trimmed losses along with buying seen in banking, health care (HC) and information technology (IT) stocks.
