Sensex ends down 69pts at 13,114

Mirroring the weak trend in global markets the Sensex opened with a negative gap of 55 points at 13,128. Further weakness in the opening trades saw the index drop to a low of 13,031 - down 152 points from the last close.

However, steady buying in Bajaj Auto and Infosys helped the index cut losses in late morning deals. The index, thereafter, exhibited lacklustre movement and eventually ended with a loss of 69 points at 13,114.
