MUMBAI:
In volatile trade, the Sensex achieved another milestone on Thursday by touching a new trading peak of 14697.69 but closed barely steady on alternate bouts of buying and selling.
Index-based shares such as ICICI Bank, BHEL, HDFC, Infosys Tech, Maruti, L&T and SBI stole the show, while the metal sector was on the back foot following a weak trend in metal prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME).
The sensex, which was down by nearly 120 points at midsession at 14523.16, recovered smartly to close at another all-time high of 14652.09, a small rise of 8.96 points or 0.06 per cent over Wednesday's close of 14643.13. At every higher level, the mood generally turned somewhat cautious as investors opted to book profits rather than make fresh purchases. — PTI
