Trading at the Calcutta Stock Exchange remained lacklustre. The 51-scrip CSE index registered a marginal rise of 2.34 points over its previous close of 410.81 points. It settled at a higher range of 413.15 points at the end of the trading session.

Domestic financial institutions and foreign institutional investors continued to exercise caution in their deals. The free fall of the ITC scrip was arrested by a notice issued by the authorities fixing the upper limit at Rs 256 and lower limit at Rs 232 with immediate effect. Reliance Industries hovered around the earlier levels and finally settled at Rs 186.50. Scrips like ACC, Larsen & Toubro and the State Bank of India moved up modestly. After closing at Rs 213.75 on Wednesday, the SBI stock opened at Rs 213 and finished higher at Rs 214.50 at the end of the trading session.
