Sensex ends 147pts higher at 14,256

After yesterday's massive 520 points rally, the Sensex today opened on a flat note. It slipped into the negative for a while and touched a low of 14,078. 

However, it rebounded into the positive and continued to move sideways, as investors covered short positions on expiry of derivatives segments. The index surged to a high of 14,377 on some buying in the metal, realty and the banking stocks.

The Sensex finally ended (provisional) 147 points higher at 14,256.
