The Sensex closed the session with a loss of 65 points. The market opened firm at 19,895 up 197 points and hit the day's high of 19,971 within few minutes of opening on selective buying in frontline stocks. However, the Sensex saw erosion of its early gains on the back of selling in banking, FMCG, and oil stocks. The market entered into negative territory by the afternoon. After gyrating over 387 points from the day's high, the Sensex finally closed the session with a loss of 65 points at 19,633, while the broader S&P CNX Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) closed marginally up at 5,908.
