Sensex ends losing streak with mild gains

The BSE Sensex ended with mild gains on Tuesday after earlier rising nearly one per cent, reversing a two-day losing streak, on value buying in beaten down rate-sensitive shares, while the Nifty found support around its 200-day moving average. However, dealers said selling by foreign institutional investors in Indian stocks on Monday weighed on shares at higher levels. The benchmark BSE Sensex edged up 0.1 per cent, or 19.25 points, to end at 19,920.21. The broader Nifty inched up 0.05 per cent, or 2.70 points, to end at 5,892.45, after earlier taking support around its 200-day moving average at 5,841.
