The mood was extremely bullish in the first hour of the trading session as the Sensex recorded a new high of 16,416 on continued optimism regarding foreign investment inflows. However, IT companies suffered a setback on the rising rupee, as the rupee breached its nine-year high of 39.90 against US dollar. Despite registering new high, the market exhibited weak trend as the trading progressed. A negative open in European markets saw the Sensex touch the day's low of 16,261 by the afternoon.
