Blue Chips Hold Fort

The market ended on a positive note after spending most of the day in negative territory due to volatile trading.

The recovery was because of a bout of buying interest in bluechip counters during the fag end of the session.

After trading over a range of 59.58 points, the 30-scrip Sensex closed up by 9.06 points at 4,434.26. The 50-stock S&P CNX Nifty gained 2.50 points to end at 1,409.55.
