Market gyrated sharply between zones throughout the trading session and swung 400 points during the intra-day trades. Taking its cue from firm global indices, the Sensex started on a positive note at 16,813, but failed to sustain the gains. Profit booking on every rise saw the Sensex slip below 16,500 mark and touch the day's low of 16,565. While market remained lacklustre with negative bias, renewed buying in afternoon trades helped the Sensex to surge to an intra-day high of 16,967, up 336 points from its previous close. However, a fresh round of profit-taking towards the fag end saw the Sensex pare its gains and end at 16,608, down 23 points, while the Nifty shed 19 points to close at 4,838.
The broader market remained weak. Of the 2,712 stocks traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), 2,237 stocks declined, 443 stocks advanced and 32 stocks ended unchanged. Barring the BSE Bankex index and the BSE Oil & Gas index, the other sectoral indices ended in the negative territory. The BSE CD index dropped 3.62% at 4,343, the BSE Auto index shed 1.57% at 4,509 and the BSE PSU index was down 1.49% at 7,659.

However, ICICI Bank notched up gains of 2.71% at Rs1,064, Reliance Industries rose 2.17% at Rs2,324, while Ranbaxy, Bharti Airtel and SBI closed with modest gains.
