The Sensex opened with a positive gap of 66 points at 17,357. After advancing to higher levels the index slipped into red to a low of 17,145 - down 146 points from the previous close.

However, agressive buying in PSU and cement stocks helped the index rebound into the positive zone. The buying momentum was so strong that the index rallied to a fresh all-time intra-day high of 17,425 - up 280 points from the day's low.

Some profit taking towards the end, saw the index pare gains and finally settle with a gain of 38 points at 17,329. The NSE Nifty ended at 5,069, up 48 points.

The BSE Mid-cap index advanced 1.4% to 7529, and the Small-cap index added nearly 1% to 9185.

The market breadth was positive - out of 2,840 stocks traded, 1,636 advanced, 1,131 declined and 73 were unchanged today.
