Closing Bell

The benchmark indices consolidated in trades on Tuesday after two days of decent gains as global cues too were tepid. The BSE Sensex touched a high of 60,670 in early deals, but thereafter languished in the negative zone for a major part of the trading day.

The Sensex slipped to a low of 60,214 - down 457 points from the day's high, and finally ended 112 points lower at 60,433.

Similarly, the NSE Nifty from a high of 18,113 declined to a low of 17,983 and eventually settled with a marginal loss of 25 points
