Sensex struggles to a muted close


Sensex ended at 18,507 slipping 54 points. Nifty closed at 5,567 losing 14 points.

Traders and investors could be forgiven for feeling relieved when the closing bell range today, marking an end to what was a highly boring and anemic trading session.


Although some of the non-index counters saw better price action, the overall mood was subdued. With no major results due today, the focus was on the overseas markets, which continue to reel under the debt issues confronting the US and Eurozone economies.
