Sensex up 30 points

MUMBAI: The bulls surrendered their initial dominance at the Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday with bellwether Sensex closing with an increase of just 30 points after surging by over 239 points in the morning trade, following a slightly mixed trend in the Asian markets.

The Bombay Stock Exchange 30-share sensitive index opened remarkably higher at 15038.03 against overnight close of 14903.03.

It rallied further to the day’s high of 15142.04 in late morning, a sharp recovery of 239.01 points. But fag-end profit selling pulled the index down to close at 14932.77, still showing a rise of 29.74 points. — PTI
