The Sensex today opened 42 points lower at 15,196, owing to weak cues from the global markets. Therafter, 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 from the day's high.
The index kept on plunging on account of profit booking in the oil & gas, metal, capital goods, realty and auto stocks.
The index finally (provisional) ended with a loss of 301 points, at 14,937.
The Sensex, which was down for the last two trading days, ended below crucial 15,000-mark today.
