The market resumed in the green despite weak Asian cues and rallied sharply led by capital goods and auto stocks. Energy majors Reliance Industries and ONGC also supported indices. The Sensex came of its high as profit selling began in mid-morning trades and slipped into the red as investor confidence waned. The index majors ACC and Bharti Airtel led the slump and the Sensex touched the intra-day low of 15,654.

The Sensex finally wrapped up the session with the gains of 77 points at 15,776. The Nifty closed 31 points up at 4,620.
