The Sensex opened 92 points lower at 11,237, and soon touched a low of 11,177 owing to weak cues from the Asian markets. The index, however, soon recovered and rebounded into the positive zone backed by fresh buying in banking, capital goods and metal stocks.
The index moved up to a high of 11,492 - up 315 points from the day's high. Profit taking in noon trades saw the index slip back into red. The Sensex thereafter displayed zig-zag movement and finally ended (provisional) with a gain of 35 points at 11,364.
