Sensex manages slim gains...Autos, FMCG slip


The first trading session on Dalal Street finished on a positive note, kicking off the new year in green territory after clocking hefty losses last year. The Indian markets opened on a rather subdued note before climbing to a day's high in early morning trade. However, they retreated to day's low in early afternoon before recovering again, tracking positive cues from the European markets. One should bear in mind the fact that the advance today came on light trading volumes as many participants were enjoying extended new year holidays. The depth was also missing due to lower participation in the equity markets.
