 Market Commentary 
Market stages gains on late buying
The Sensex staged a smart recovery on sharp appreciation in banking, realty, and PSU stocks to close near 20,500 mark.
After slipping over 224 points in early trades, the Sensex staged a recovery in afternoon on hectic buying in frontline and banking stocks.    
The bulls were back in action after closing flat for last couple of sessions as the market registered sharp gains on the back of all-round buying support. Taking a cue from positive Asian indices the Sensex resumed 92 points above its previous close of 20,301. However, profit bookings in the Sensex heavyweights, IT and capital goods stocks dragged the Sensex to the day's low of 20,077. The market soon overcame the early hitch on positive opening in most of the European markets and made steady progress before a strong bout of buying lifted the index past the 20,500 level to touch the intra-day high of 20,529. The Sensex finally closed with gains of 165 points at 20,465, while the Nifty rose 35 points to close at 6,179.
