Sensex ends almost flat at 9,101

The Sensex opened 68 points lower at 9,042, but soon rebounded into the positive zone led by fresh buying in Infosys, post results. The index touched a high of 9,261 - up 219 points from the day's open. The index, however, could not hold gains as weakness in select index heavyweights saw the index swing between zones in mid-noon trades.

The index extended losses in late trades and slipped to a low of 8,993 - down 268 points from the day's high. The Sensex finally (provisional) ended almost unchaged at 9,101 - down nine points.
