The Sensex opened 116 points above its previous close tracking positive Asian markets. But, the market could not hold on to its gains as trading progressed on lack of buying support. However, the presence of bullish sentiment helped the market to remain in a range with a positive bias in the latter part of the session with buying in consumer durables, PSU and FMCG stocks. However, selling in frontline stocks towards the close saw the Sensex touch its day's low of 20,240. The Sensex finally closed the session with a gain of 80 points at 20,286, while the Nifty added 59 points at 6,139.
