Sensex ekes out slim gains…RIL shines; HDFC dips
After declining for two consecutive trading sessions, the Indian equity markets ended with modest gains on Tuesday. The slight upswing was seen despite negative cues from the Asian and European markets. Initially, it seemed like it will be another down day for the Indian markets. However, the main indices staged a spirited comeback in the mid-afternoon trade, buoyed by strength in select index bellwethers. The BSE Sensex ended at 17,440, up by 56 points or 0.3% over the previous close. It had earlier touched a day’s high of 17,452 and a day’s low of 17,308. It opened at 17,378.
