The 30-share Sensex opened higher and rose further to touch a day's high of 60,676.12 on gains in auto and capital goods shares. However, it gave up all early gains and closed 412.96 points or 0.68 per cent lower at 59,934.01.
The Nifty50 dipped 126.35 points or 0.7 per cent to settle at 17,877.40.
From the Sensex pack, Tech Mahindra fell the most by 3.13 per cent.
