The barometer index, BSE Sensex, was down 48.42 points or 0.27%, off close to 30 points from the day's high and up about 110 points from the day's low.

Auto and banking stocks were mixed.

Market seen subdued on negative Asian equities
The market is likely to decline in opening trade on negative Asian cues. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 21.50 points at the opening bell. Telecom stocks will be in focus after Kapil Sibal announced new telecom policy after market hours on Wednesday.
Telecom stocks may see action after the government on Wednesday announced the new telecom policy (NTP) allowing operators to hold higher spectrum, pay uniform license fee across services besides permitting liberal merger and acquisition, with a view to provide quality services at affordable prices. Announcing a part of policy, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said that "the prescribed limit on spectrum assigned to a service provider will be 2x8 MHz (paired spectrum) for GSM technology for all service areas other than Delhi and Mumbai where it will be 2x10 MHz (paired spectrum)." Current prescribed limit is 6.2 MHz of GSM spectrum. However, players would be free to acquire additional frequency beyond the prescribed limit, in the open market, should there be an auction of spectrum subject to the limits prescribed for merger of licenses.

Sensex surpasses 18,000...Nifty conquers 5500 Sensex surpasses 18,000...Nifty conquers 5500
The Indian market continued its upsurge in the new year on Wednesday with a magnificent rally. The BSE Sensex eased past 18,000 in early trade while the NSE Nifty surged past 5500 for the first time since August 1, 2011. For yet another day, we saw buying on dips which propelled the benchmark indices to day's high towards the close of trade. A gap-up opening in today’s trading session confirmed the resumption of a fresh uptrend with immediate resistance on the Nifty seen at ~5580.
After opening 44 points higher, the Nifty climbed further up amid sustained strength in rate sensitive sectors such as Realty, Capital Goods, Banking and Auto. If it wasn't for the weakness in index bellwether RIL, the gains for the day could have been much fatter.

The new year rally could be in danger, as the Iran-linked worries mount and Greece struggles to get much-needed aid amid fears of default. The start today is likely to be lower due to weakness in US and Asian markets. European stocks too came off session highs amid escalating geopolitical tensions and lingering concerns over Greece.
