 The Sensex today opened 42 points lower at 15,196, owing to weak global cues. Thereafter, the index rebounded into the positive zone to touch a high of 15,261.
The index, however, failed to hold gains and slipped after the Bombay High Court's verdict on the RIL-RNRL gas dispute case. Heavy selling by foreign investors pushed the index to touch a low of 14,807, down 454 points.
The index kept on plunging on account of profit booking in the oil & gas, metal, capital goods, realty and auto stocks.
The BSE Oil & Gas slipped 4.5% to 10,036. The Metal, Capital Goods, Realty, Auto, Consumer Durables, Power and Technology indices were down 1-4% each.
The Sensex, which was down for the last three straight trading days, ended below crucial 15,000-mark today. The index finally ended with a loss of 362 points at 14,875.
The market breadth was extremely negative - out of 2,700 shares traded, 1,874 declined, 768 advanced and 58 were unchanged today.
