The market attracted considerable buying interest for the third session in a row on firm global cues and gained nearly 200 points in early trades. Sensex resumed with a huge positive gap of 147 points at 13,782 and the market was range-bound with a positive bias, but the index lost some ground in the mid-noon trades to touch the day's low of 13,581, down 54 points from yesterday's close. The market however regained its lost momentum towards the final hour of the session on hectic upsurge in banking, heavyweight and HC stocks, but profit booking at close led Sensex shed its gains and end the session at 13,850, up 215 points.
