Sensex ends tad lower; HDFC Bank, Tata Power gain
Markets saw yet another day of range bound and dull trade, wherein indices opened positive, range bound trade amid volatility and finally a weak close. Today, the indices opened in the green and witnessed some buying interest in the early session. The market however exhibited short lived positive movement due to profit booking seen in RIL and ICICI bank in particular. Further, market gave up the gains and became sluggish due to sudden profit taking at higher levels. Asian indices were weak throughout the session and US premarket indices` futures were also mixed, thus failed to provide any positive cue to Indian market.
